Inflate a balloon leaving a six—inch flat tail (Pic 1).

The first three bubbles you twist to make one arm. Twist the first two—inch bubble (Pic 2).

Twist the second soft one—inch bubble (Pic 3).

Twist the third two—inch bubble (Pic 4).

Lock both ends of the chain of the three (the first through the third) bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 5). This step is marked with arrows between points A and B on the scheme. You have made one arm.

The next three bubbles you twist to make the second arm. Twist the fourth two—inch bubble (Pic 6).

Twist the fifth soft one—inch bubble (Pic 7).

Twist the sixth two—inch bubble (Pic 8).

Lock both ends of the chain of the last three (the fourth through the sixth) bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 9). This step is marked with arrows between points B and C on the scheme.

Twist the seventh three—inch bubble (Pic 10).

Twist the eighth two—inch bubble (Pic 11).

Twist the 9th soft one—inch bubble (Pic 12).

Twist the tenth two—inch bubble (Pic 13).

Lock both ends of the chain of the last three (the eighth through the tenth) bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 14). This step is marked with arrows between points D and E on the scheme.

Twist the 11th two—inch bubble (Pic 15).

Twist the 12th soft one—inch bubble (Pic 16).

Twist the thirteenth two—inch bubble (Pic 17).

Lock both ends of the chain of the last three (the eleventh through the twelfth) bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 18). This step is marked with arrows between points E and F on the scheme.

Twist the fourteenth three—inch bubble (Pic 19).

The rest of the balloon is the fifteenth bubble. Lock the free end of the fourteenth bubble between the first and the fourth bubbles (Pic 20). This step is marked with arrows between points G and B on the scheme.

You can cut off the fifteenth bubble or keep it and use as a neck or as a tail (Pic 21 through 24).




Congratulations, you have made the body 9. You can use the body to make four legs animals or cartoon characters as Mickey Mouse (Pic 25), Buzz lightyear (Pic 26) and etc. Have fun and happy twisting :)
