I was just taking inventory of my balloons, and I found a bag of Qualatex 15-in clown head balloons. Any suggestions on how to make a clown with these?
I also found eyeball balloons. I sometimes use these to make cyclops hats, but there must be other cool things you can do with the eyeballs.

Some sweet talk and a bag of peanuts.

Are those the balloons with the clown face printed on them? I have a few ideas but don't have time now to twist and post. I'll see if I can make the time tomorrow.

You could always add the head to the hitch hicker body [that's what I was taught it was called] 2=260 leave about 1- 1 1/2 inch. tie together, I twist them both together as I make it, twist about a 2 inch bubble in both then together, then ear twist them both, [this is the hands, measure kids head for arm length, then another 2 inch bubble in each twist together then ear twist, go down about 5 inches repeat [that's the body] your left with two legs, got to bottom leaving a little for the foot, do an ear twist in each leg. shape legs to ride on wearer's shoulders, add head, could add geo flower for neck ruffle or make a neck ruffle. this is just a thought mind you.
As far as eyes you can add them to any animal just about or persons head to make them more detailed. [ I usually just make mine out of 260 scraps but if I have eyes I use them.

Thanks Sue. That is one I was thinking of as well as Ken Stillman's other body style, the superhero body.
