air into it. So with my Qualatex pump, that's about 3 strokes of the
pump. Don't tie off but just hold onto it and inflate your next 6 inch Quick Link.
We'll put about 2 strokes of the pump in there and then we're just going
to tie them together.
Next take your mocha brown 5 inch round and put one stroke of the pump into each
balloon. We're going to tie these together into duplets, so hang on to
them. Just tie them together. Give them a squeeze to bring out the shine.
Make another one of these and wrap them together.
Then take your reindeer body and just wrap the tail of the Quick Link into
that balloon cluster. Next take your white 260. Give your balloon a squeeze
and we're just going to make two very tiny, two very
small flower petal twists about 3 fingers or so and then an even smaller
flower petal twist about 2 fingers.
Trim off the of your Quick Links and
then wrap this into the neck there. Before we break off this balloon,
we're just going to make a 3-finger pinch twist at the back of
the neck and then we can break this off and tie.
Then take your little scrap of red 260 with a 2 finger bubble.
Pull that into those cheeks and then trim off the excess.
Next take your 260 mocha brown and give it a squeeze. I've got perhaps 4
fingers of tail - it doesn't really matter. Wrap the nozzle into the base a few
times. Bring your 260 up the side and wrap into
the neck and then back down the other side of the reindeer's body and just
round into the cluster. I'm just arrange everything.
You can make a little loop, a little flower petal twist - perhaps about 4 fingers
for your reindeer's tail and just wrap that back into the cluster at the base.
So that's what you've got at the moment
Next take your mocha brown 160 and we're just going to make two 2-finger pinch
twists ... however you like to do your pinch twists. Then we're going to make
two small loops right here. Twist a bubble of about 4 fingers.
I do tend to tie the 160s - they're a little more temperamental than the 260s.
Take the ears and take the tip of your Quick Link and and pull that in from the back.
Okay, that's what we've got at the moment. Next, to make our reindeer's antlers we're
going to need a chocolate-brown 160 and we're just going to make two
very small one finger pinch twists. So make two one finger bubbles. Bring them
together and use the nozzle just to pinch twist those.
Make two loop twists of about three fingers each - they
don't have to be exact. Then we're going to make a little
three-finger bubble followed by two one to one-and-a-half finger pinch twists.
Then we're going to do another three finger bubble and we're
going to make 2 one finger pinch twists.
Don't worry if the middle one comes undone. Make another three finger
bubble followed by 2 one finger pinch twists.
We're going to make two three finger
loops and discard the rest. Reinstate that twist there. Grab your Rudolph and
just bring both antlers in behind those two pinch twists, then just bring them through
and you can arrange the antlers however you prefer. Then we'll draw the
face so take a black Sharpie and just draw a circle.
Try to get them as as close as possible to the same size and then some little
eyebrows and then we're finished with our black Sharpie. Take a white paint pen.
I always use an Edding - this is 750. Making sure that your Sharpie is dry,
make a small circle here
followed by little dot and then what I do with this sculpture ... I kind of like to
give him a ... I was going to say a doe-eyed look, but I don't know whether a male
deer can have a doe eyed look - it seems a bit of a contradiction. Anyway I think it
makes him look cuter so I'm just going to put this little semi circle
