Default Intructions - Funky Dude Bracelet

From Custom Balloon Designs-Free balloon twisting,model,sculpture instructions



Cut a green 160 about 2/3 of the way down and tie a knot in the end. Blow up about an inch and a half. Squeeze equal amounts into each end and tie a knot in the middle. Tulip twist both ends.Take a full green 160. Blow up about two inches. Squeeze equal amounts into each end and tie a knot in the middle. Make a bubble then a pinch twist in each end to form feet.Cut up some brightly coloured 260's. Cut them roughly into threes and discard nozzles.Take another green 260 and blow up about two inches.
Hold the 'hair' in your hand so the ends are just behind the tips of your first finger and thumb.Rest your first finger on the knot of the 260 an push the hair into the balloon behind the nozzle. Grab the knot at the other side like a tulip twist.Wrap the 'legs' around the knot you have just grabbed.Push from the bottom about half-way into it. Careful, if you push too far the hair flies out the top. The twist will not be stable until you move unto the next stepTwist the head. This locks everything in place.Wrap the arms around the last twist and position in place.Draw a face on the little fellow. (As you may have noticed this isn't my strong point). The dude is place on the wrist the 260 goes around the wrist and is wrapped around the neck.

Hey Fitz,
Great post I'll have to try that one for a Hospic Walk we are doing in May.

Ps. Thanks for the instructions for the Bunny Hat it was a big hit at the Easter Egg Hunt.

I also used the bunny hat at Easter & the kids loved them! Twinkles made them for her whole class I think - at least she was talking about doing that.

I'm glad that these instructions are coming handy. I know I find this type of format easy to understand and replicate so when I find them hiding on the web I bring them home to the Forum.

Hello Fitzwilly,
I'm glad you like my instructions and are eager to share them with your friends.

I would, however, have appreciated it if you had asked me first. I'm only an e-mail away.

A link to where you got them from would be nice, too, as the reason they are "hiding on the web" is because I use my free site to promote my main site.

You're also using my bandwidth to display the photos here.

Anyhow.
Thank you for viewing my instructions, folks. This design is from the free section of my instructions site Custom Balloon Designs-Free balloon twisting,model,sculpture instructions.
Please visit to view my other free models and free routines.

Thank you,
George.

George,

I am glad to know that this is yours. I have been trying to give credit where it belongs but it looks like I slipped up on these and didn't add your site link. Sorry about that.

Glad you found the Forum. It looks like you have plenty of original ideas. I look forward to your posts.

Thanks for some excellent balloon designs, Magic George! I'm making sure your link is prominently displayed on the posts. How can we work out the bandwidth issue? Would you prefer I copied the images? Take them down entirely?

When I cut and pasted the directions did it only copy a link and not duplicate the photos? If so I didn't realize that was how it ws working.
