I tried to do the heart for the first time, but as you can see, can't make the shape very well.Maybe different manipulation in the balloon is needed.

A very very very very good link that has instructions for EVERYTHING and I think has already been mentioned is http://balloon.nakayosi.jp/

It is in Japanese and you have to use an online translator like Babelfish or...

Love the Tweety Bird design...i definitely gonna copy those.. u don't mind do u?

So I saw some free videos on the net ( I have only one dvd for balloons ) and today it's the first time to make a tweety,a penguin and a more complicated aeroplane.

It took me quite a long time and I think that I can't make many of them to an hour or an hour & a half party.


Nevertheless I 'll continue practising them.

Here they are:

Thank you.

- Me and my first attempt to make a tweety ( I added wings to its three bubble bird body ) bird.I 'll start practising the heart too, so it won't get tired.

- First time I make a penguin too.Taken from Joe's Montella DVD.So and so...

My teddy bear ( not so good,I 'll eliminate the neck ) and a two balloon aeroplane ( first time I make this plane ).

My one balloon motorbike and a six petal flower.

I appreciate all the feedback given from the forum experts, so I am looking forward to hearing from you for my new creations.

Thank you very much my friends.

I did braided roses and bear in airplane which i learn from balloon-animals.com forum...

The design of the bird is not mine either,only the flower stuff.I copied it from a website too.(Pm me if you want additional information.)

I really like your balloons too.Well Done!!!I 'll try to copy them too!!!



Don't forget to check the link I 've written.It's amazing!It has almost everything!!!

Some new attempts to make larger sculptures.Hope you like them.

[Scruffy]

They look great, Kleenthis! Great job!

You are doing great KG. If you want the tree to look more like a palm tree there is one more thing you can do. Take the big loops and twist the bottom side of the loop so that the top bubble is about twice as long as the bottom bubble. This creates a hooked look like palm branches.

I want instructions on the 1 balloon motorcycle!! I've seen & attempted a 2 balloon, but the 1 would be great for our park ministry!

[Fitzwilly]

I have never been a fan of the pop twist required to make the handlebars of a one balloon motorcycle. For me it is easier, quicker and safer (My pop twists almost always come undone and I lose the handlebars completely.) to make a two balloon version. I start with the knoted ends of the balloons being the handlebars and go from there.

I used to think that I was saving money by only using one balloon instead of two for my creations but I realized that many designs catch people's eyes better with multiple colors. Also, without some artwork many balloon sculptures are difficult to identify for the "non-balloon professional" and the colors often help with the identification. For example a person may ask for a light blue turtle but with a little help from Mr. Sharpie I would even forget what I made. A lot of words to basically say that sometimes less isn't really more; and a little bit of extra, whether it be an extra balloon or a little artwork can make all the difference in the world without taking a lot of time or breaking the bank.

Yeah. I still have problems w/ the pop. I just thought a 1 balloon might be quicker. I've tried to 2 balloon & ended up popping the outer part of one of the tires & it came out all kinds of weird. But that's what practice is for.

i think the reason why i dont do balloons is becuase the poping sound startles me... is this somethign you get use too? i would like to lear to overcome this fear and learn to twist more that a dog/giraffe LOL
