So.
Your bunny balloon animal begins with the
inflation.
Now normally when you inflate a balloon
you just take the nozzle and place it into
your balloon and begin to inflate.
This is different because you're going
to want an extra long balloon nozzle to work with.
So let me show you what you're doing.
You're going to take your
nozzle of your pump and insert it
further
into the balloon. And this will give you
an extra long balloon
nozzl when you tie it off. So let's do
that. Inflate the balloon...
inflate it to about four inches from the
end.
[Music]
Let's burp it to make it easier to work
with
and now, I've made the balloon's nozzle a little
longer than normal.
Now when I tie it, I want the knot to be
very close to the balloon as opposed to
the
end of the nozzle here. So let's tie it.
[Music]
And there, I have a balloon nozzle with a little
more length.
Now we're ready to begin our rabbit
balloon animal so let's make a
basic balloon twist of about an inch and
a half.
And remember to move your hand over and
grab.
Once again we're going to make another
basic balloon twist to match.
[Music]
Now we're going to take this twist and
the nozzle and bring them together. Remember
to
try and use the base of the nozzle here
so you re
you maintain a good length here.
[Music]
And something that helps with the
securing of this is to feed the nozzle
through
basic balloon twists.
[Music]
That's phase one. Now something we're
going to do next is a little tricky. We're
going to have to secure
some balloon here that will be
uninflated. And the way we do this
is to grab and then twist and squeeze.
So squeeze the air
out as we twist
there. You have a little extra length now.
We're ready to
make our balloon rabbit's ears, about three inches with
two basic balloon twists.
With a balloon lock twist.
You have something that looks like this.
Now we're ready to bring the ears in.
Don't worry, I have a little,
I do have a little extra bubble here
that i don't necessarily want but it
won't make any difference because this
will be hidden.
So don't worry if you get one of these.
It's probably good that I show this to
you because it
occasionally happens where I didn't
get all the air out. But it won't be a
problem.
We're going to secure the ears over
on the twist on this side.
That's where that extra length comes
into play.
Now in order to secure this, it's not
secure right now with the neck, so we're
going to have to use our
nozzle. That's the reason why we created
an extra long nozzle. Now we're going to wrap it
around
and bring the neck in.
Bring it as far as you can and then
[Music]
twist.
And tuck the nozzle in between.
[Music]
And you have a rabbit's head. Now for the
legs,
and I like to create a little pinch
twist for the paws. So let me show you
what that looks like.
So we're going to make a leg, just a
basic balloon twist about
two and a half inches.
A pinch twist.
[Music]
One more basic balloon twist just a tad longer
here, if you can.
Let's just repeat so we make this
even here.
[Music]
Bringing it back make a
pinch twist as we did here.
[Music]
This twist is going to go into here.
We're going to make a twist here that
goes into here.
[Music]
Now these are the legs. We have the face
and this here is going to form the
backbone. And the very end
will form our little bunny's tail.
So the easiest way to do this is just
create your
round bunny rabbit tail and
now, this gets twisted into here.
[Music]
As you can see you probably see the
balloon bunny. Now we do have one more detail,
we're going to
twist these paws together
to hold it together.
[Music]
And there you have a cute bunny rabbit balloon animal.
Get out your markers and draw a face on
there and you have a
cute bunny balloon that will be a crowd pleaser.
