Twist the ninth one—inch bubble (Pic 12).

Twist the eleventh three—inch bubble (Pic 15).

Force and lock the free end of the eleventh bubble between the eighth and ninth bubbles (Pic 16 and 17). This step is marked with red arrows between points D and F on the scheme.

Congratulations, you have made the body. You may cut off the sixteenth bubble or use it as a tail. You may use this body to make different animals and cartoon characters (Pic 25 and 26). Have fun and happy twisting :)
