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

Twist the first soft one—inch bubble (Pic 2). This bubble keeps the neck of the swan in a fixed position.

Lock both ends of the first bubble in one lock twist (Pic 3). This step is marked with arrows between points A and B on the scheme.

Twist the second twelve—inch bubble (Pic 4).

Lock both ends of the second bubble in one lock twist (Pic 5). This step is marked with arrows between points B and C on the scheme.

Twist the third eight—inch bubble (Pic 6).

Lock both ends of the third bubble in one lock twist (Pic 7). This step is marked with arrows between points C and D on the scheme.

Push and fix the third bubble in the loop of the second bubble (Pic 8 and 9). The rest of the balloon is the fourth bubble. It’s the neck and the head of the swan. Bend the fourth bubble to shape the neck of the swan. The flat end of the balloon represents the beak. Use the permanent marker to draw the eyes.


Congratulations, you have made the swan (Pic 10). 
Have fun and happy twisting :)
