The first three bubbles you twist to make the head. 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 D on the scheme.

Lock both ends of the second bubble in one lock twist (Pic 6). This step is marked with arrows between points B and C on the scheme.

The next four bubbles you twist to make the arms. Twist the 4th five—inch bubble (Pic 7).

Twist the fifth one—inch bubble (Pic 8).

Twist the sixth one—inch bubble (Pic 9).

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

Lock both ends of the chain of the last four (the fourth through the seventh) bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 11). This step is marked with arrows between points D and E on the scheme.

Fix the arms above the head and force the head of the doll between the arms (Pic 12).

Twist the eighth three—inch bubble (Pic 13). It’s the body.

The next four bubbles you twist to make the legs. Twist the ninth four—inch bubble (Pic 14).

Twist the tenth one—inch bubble (Pic 15).

Twist the eleventh one—inch bubble (Pic 16).

Twist the twelfth four—inch bubble (Pic 17).

Lock both ends of the chain of the last four (the ninth through the twelfth) bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 18 and 19). This step is marked with arrows between points F and G on the scheme. The rest of the balloon is the thirteenth bubble. You may cut off the thirteenth bubble or keep it.


Use the second balloon to make the skirt/flower (Pic 20).

Attach the skirt by forcing it between the body and the legs of the doll (Pic 21 through 23).



Use the permanent marker to draw the face of the doll (Pic 24). Congratulations, you have made the doll 3 (ballerina). 
Have fun and happy twisting :)
