Default Clown Balloons

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.

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.
