DOG The number one favorite among kids, the party won't get started without the dog. This is a very popular shape and one of the easiest to make. Once you get this shape right, a foundation for making the rest of the animals of the jungle is laid. You will just need a #260 balloon to create this fun piece of art.
Instructions 1.Take a #260 balloon and inflate it. At the tail end, leave 4 inches uninflated. 2. Now, from the nozzle end, twist the balloon for about six inches. 3. Now, squeeze the two parts of the folded balloon about 2 inches from the fold. 4.Twist the squeezed portion further; two or three twists should do the trick. These are the ears of the doggy, and the knot is its nose. 5.Now, for the front and back legs. They are made in the same way as the ears. 6.Fold the balloon an inch below the twist that formed the ears. Twist the balloon to form the front legs of the dog. 7.Last but not the least, fold the balloon 2 inches away from the twist that formed the front legs. Now, twist. Your happy helper doggy is ready. http://www.buzzle.com/articles/free-balloon-twisting-instructions.html
