We are going to make a friend of Curious George - the hot dog Hundley out of one balloon.
Inflate a balloon leaving about 13 cm flat tail.


Twist the first about 8-10 cm bubble.

Twist the next soft about 8 cm bubble.

Lock both ends of the last bubble in one lock twist.

It is the side view.

It is the front view.

Twist a chain of the next two about 8-10 cm bubbles.


Lock both ends of the chain of the last two bubbles in one lock twist.
We have made the head with ears.


Twist the next about 3 cm bubble.
It is the neck.

We twist the next four bubbles to make the front legs.
Twist the next about 8 cm bubble.
 Twist the next two soft about 2-3 cm bubbles.
Twist the next about 8 cm bubble.

Lock both ends of the chain of the last four bubbles in one lock twist.
We have made the front legs.


We twist the next bubble to make a body.
You can make it shorter or longer - it is up to you. 
I have made it about 25 cm long in this example.

We twist the next four bubbles to make the rear legs.
And the rest of the balloon is going to be a tail - plan it accordingly.
Twist the next about 8 cm bubble.
Twist a chain of the next two soft about 2-3 cm bubbles.
Twist the next about 8 cm bubble.

Lock both ends of the chain of the last four bubbles in one lock twist.
The rest of the balloon is the tail.
It is about 6 cm long in this example.
Basically, we have made the dog.
You can keep it as it is.


Or we can lock all ends of the small (2-3 cm) front legs bubbles in one lock twist.





Also, we can lock all small (2-3 cm) rear legs bubbles in one lock twist. 



Now, let's force the base of the first bubble between the two ear bubbles.


Also, we can force the neck bubble between the two ear bubbles.
Congratulations! We have made one balloon hot dog.



We can use a permanent black marker to draw the face.


Congratulations again! We have made the Curious George friend - the dachshund dog Hundley!

Have fun and happy twisting :)

  1. You need to be skillful to make such stuff from balloons, I tried it myself in the past but always failed to make any creature from balloons. Thank you for sharing video with us
