To make a poodle start by inflating a balloon about half way,
leaving a 5 inch
tail. 1) |
|||
| The head is first. There are 4
bubbles in the head all of them 2 inches long. The first
is the nose and the next three are the cheeks and forehead.
2) Fold them into a triangle and twist. This twist locks them together and they stay.
3) Hold the knot on the nose bubble between your thumb and first finger and roll the knot out to the nozzle lips. The purpose is not to tighten the knot but to move the knot closer the the nozzle, giving the bubble more rubber. The not actually rolls. Once your have rolled the knot, squeeze the center of the nose bubble and it should become peanut shaped and soft.
4) Poke the nose through the head triangle and settle it in the center of the triangle. Looks like a poodle head, right?
5) For the rest of the body start with a 1 inch neck bubble. Hold on to the neck bubble and twist the front legs. A 1 1/2 inch bubble, 2 - 1 inch bubbles, and another 1 1/2 inch bubble.
Fold the legs together and lock twist. Now you have a poodle head with front legs and feet ...don't you?
6) Make a 2 inch bubble for the torso and repeat the front leg sequence. You should be left with about a 2 inch tail bubble and then an inch of uninflated balloon.
7) For the fancy poodle tail, pinch the very end of the uninflated tail and stretch it so the rubber weakens. Hold the 2 inch tail bubble in your palm leaving the very end of the uninflated tail sticking out between your thumb and first finger.
8) Squeeze the 2 inch bubble forcing the air pat your fingers into the uninflated tail end.
