Instructions - Simple Balloon Body

[Fitzwilly]

For the body you will need two 260s (preferably blush or mocha) and a 5" round (should be a matching color.) I used different colors in an effort to make it easier to see the individual balloons.

Inflate both 260s leaving a 3 to 4 inch tail. Take the first balloon and make a small 1" bubble followed by a 2 to 3 inch loop twist. This is your basic foot or hand. ... See Pic 1

Make a 6 to 8 inch bubble followed by two ear twists. (An ear twist is a 1" bubble that is twisted onto itself, so that both ends of the bubble are twisted together.) these are the hips of the figure. ...See pic 2

Make two 6 inch bubbles and connect at the "hips." Make a 6 to 8 inch bubble for the second leg followed by the second foot. That should be the end of the first balloon. ...See pic 3

Take the second 260 and repeat step one folled by a six inch bubble. (This time it will be the hand and arm.) Make two ear twists for shoulders. ...See pic 4

Connect to the first balloon opposite the legs by inserting the tail end of the second 260 between the long bubbles of the body and tisting to lock in place. Make a 6 inch bubble and wrap around the hips to lock it in place. ... See pic 5

There has got to be an easier way to do this.

Make another 6 inch bubble lay along side the body and twist into the shoulders. Finish off with a second arm followed with the last hand. ...See pic 6

Inflate the 5 inch round to 4 inches and connect to the shoulders. Positioning the shoulder ear twists to keep the head in position. Add artwork. ...See pic 7

Use with the twisted cross balloon sculpture and an uninflated balloon to hold in place for this Easter effect. ...See pic 8
