Today I'm going to show you how to make a bunny rabbit that's perfect for Easter
Hi balloon artists I'm Melanie from Balloon Artworks and I'mon full time balloon artist
here in Derbyshire in the East Midlands to begin with that take a lime 260 and make a flower so
I've made a six petal flower if you want to make five petals that's fine then take a quick link and
I've put about three and a half to four inches of air in here and just wrap back quick link into the
base now show you maybe times how to make the flower so I know you guys know how to do that
already if you don't check out one of my earlier big videos my penguin video or my reindeer video
and you'll see how to make the flower take a white 260 when you tie it leave quite a bit of
an inflated section that there at the nozzle end and I just got a one finger tip and I'm going to
tie those together and hold it together and we want to find the center of this 260 just pinch
hold of 8 and twist the top part of the balloon and that will split it okay and then bring these
two bits together and take that and wrap it round and also pull the loop through the other one and
that will hold it in place take a 5 inch white round and choose late and I actually overinflate
this quite a bit and then I let a lot of air out and I want to connect the ears to this 5 inch
using a marriage twist and because of that I want test the balloon before I tie it off so what I'm
doing I'm kind of squeezing here and I'm pushing the nozzle through into the balloon really to see
have I let enough area I'm going to let a bit more out and now I can feel that I can push that nozzle
deep into that balloon quite easily and I'm now going to tie that off okay I'm gonna tie high on
the neck so the knot is very close to that normal like your rabbits ears and get hold of that long
neck with the nozzle on the end keep hold of the nozzle and take your white 5 inch and with the
right 5 inch you want to squeeze it so that the air goes up into the neck and then you want to
place the nozzle from the ears on to the nozzle on the 5 inch and using your finger you want to push
those nozzles deep into the balloon until you can grab hold of them then take your fingering up and
twist those around keep hold of them and take a little piece of 160 wrap that around and tie
those two ends together but it is a little bit tricky holding onto everything but try to diss
the temptation to book the ends in your mouth and then tie second time and that's how we connect the
ears to our rabbits head and at this point I like to find the center of the ears just split those
bubbles but the balloon in half as we did before so just roll them together pinch them there and
then Swit that top one around I think that just splits the bit years and makes them a bit more
elongated take your rabbit's head and the body and tie the two together and trim off the ends and at
this point you'll see that the head is really quite wobbly don't worry about that we're going
to fix that take it to 60 in white with a pair of forefinger tail or so and take the nozzle and wrap
that nozzle into your flower petal base if you balloon a stretch and we want to make a bubble
that runs up the side of the body and wraps into the neck and then they want to come down on the
other side again give your balloon a nice squeeze wrap that into the base this is what you've got
everything's a bit Wiggly on top but don't worry and then we want to make a couple of little feet
so you just want to make a couple of loop twisters for about three fingers twist bows and then wrap
your two six get into the flower petal base and then make another one of these in same thing
three a three finger loop wrap that into the face we've got two little feet and then bring
the rest of that 260 around to the back and make another loop loop off three to four fingers and
this is going to be the rabbit's tail and you can break the rest off and wrap it into the base and
tie it off okay so we've got these the feet and the tail at the back and our head is still very
wobbly take a 160 and white and just wrap that into the flower petal base a few times okay and
then bring that strap out to one side and we want to just pull the ears down to the sides
hold on to them and bring that strap pull it taut and pull it through the ears and pull that back
down and then wrap it into the base and freak out on this at the side and then we do the same thing
on this side so keep the ears of the tension pull that strap through the bottom of the ears
pull it taut and then wrap the strap into the base a few times so first just draw two ovals
and then I like to edge the blue in black and then the nose I just do a little pink
triangle and then I just outline that triangle in black draw a little mouth and some whiskers
I just fill in a little bit of space going where the mouth is in red and then the final
thing is just the little white dots on the eyes to highlight and if you are looking for a bunny
design that is on a bigger scale perhaps for a gift table centerpiece a gift table
decoration and that sort of thing or something for a birthday child or an Easter Bunny themed
party or a Peter Rabbit themed party then I do have a premium rabbit tutorial available

popular storybook character I'm sure you can guess who he's he is intended to be so check
