Finishing a Balloon Dog

Now in this section, we're going to complete the balloon dog. We're going to start again with that basic twist that we learned before. I'm going to hold it steady with my left hand, and do all the work with my right hand. One, two, three. Now we come to the legs. Now I want to make a little bit more of a longer balloon, so I'm just going to squeeze the air down, just a little bit. It's a little trick you can learn as you learn balloon twisting. To make a leg, pinching it and twisting. One, two, three. Now to make the legs the same size, bring it up and mirror it. Otherwise if you're just doing guesswork, you'll see the legs will end up completely the wrong size. So I'm mirroring it at the bottom, pinching the balloon and twisting. One, two, three. And lock twisting that together again. Lock twisting, one, two, three. Turn his head the right way round. I'm sure you'll be pleased when you get to that stage. Go to the end of the body, pinch it and twist it. One, two, three. Hold it steady with my left hand, bring the balloon down, mirror the bottom of the leg for the size of the front legs. If you want to you can really push them down, and mirror it. One, two, three. Bringing it to the bottom of the second leg, pinching the balloon and twisting. One, two, three. Lock twist those together. Pull them apart, see the little bit of rubber there? And very carefully just twist them together to be around. Most people when they are learning tend to push hard on the balloon. It's not necessary to do that. Just pull the balloon out a little bit, and it goes with ease. Straighten it up. There's our little balloon dog!
