I came across some 'twisting balloons' while shopping for party decorations. The animals were really easy to make with the help of Youtube tutorials.
Here are some pics of the ones we made at home, complete with links to some excellent videos I found.
All you need are a bag of balloons... plus a pump (unless you have the lungs of a professional trombone player).
Enjoy!
Butterfly and Swan
These are two easy, basic shapes. Check out Bernie's Balloon Modelling video. Don't let the fast beginning or his mad English accent throw you, he slows down when he starts the tutorial. These two animals are really easy to make.
Dog
This one's a classic. What could be cuter than a balloon pooch? Try Michael Floyd The Balloon Twister's excellent video.
Flower
I was quite impressed with myself when I made this one… but actually it was really easy. Let your balloon man, Mr. Fudge, show you how.
Hope you enjoyed this post. For more balloon animals and shapes, try these Youtube channels for some amazing balloon artists:
