Twist the next about 5 cm bubble.
Or you can split the rest of the balloon on two bubbles of about the same (5-7 cm) size.

Lock both ends of the chain of the last four bubbles in one lock twist.
You have to force the last bubble through the loop of the six small bubbles by rolling small bubbles around the last bubble.


We have made the neck with mane.

Twist the next about 2 - 3 cm bubble.

Lock both ends of the last bubble in one lock twist. 
The rest of the balloon is the muzzle of the unicorn.
The flat tail of the balloon is going to be the horn.


Pinch and stretch the end of the muzzle bubble.

Lock the flat end of the balloon at the base of the muzzle bubble.

Fix all bubbles in proper positions.
Congratulations! We have made one balloon unicorn.

Use a permanent black marker to draw eyes.

Have fun and happy twisting :)
