Crafts made from balloons are not just an original decoration for a celebration, but a nice little gift for both children and adults. Still, there is something magical about when from balloons we get different animals, flowers and even elements of clothing. That's why now we will talk about how to make figures from balloons.
How to make a figure of balloons?
In order to learn how to make figures from balloons, you need very little. First of all, these are long balls of "sausage". And also a pump for inflating balloons. Of course, you can use your own lungs, but then your balloon will never rise into the air. In order to understand how to make this or that decoration from balls, first we'll try to make the simplest shape, and then go to the tasks more complicated.

In order to make such a figure, we need to take the balls of two colors: green and the color that your petals will be. For example, blue. First you need to inflate the green ball. Remember that five centimeters of the ball should not be inflated. Then twist the ball just below the middle in the form of an eight. So we need to make the sheets for our ball. At the top end of the ball it is necessary to make a core for the flower. For this, we step back a little from the beginning and twist the piece of the ball so that we can make a middle. After that, we start to make petals. To do this, take our blue ball and tie it in a ring. Then we twist the ring in half. Now we have two inseparable rings. We also twist them in half. As a result, we have six petals. We fix the flower on the stem. That's all, now you have to do the simplest handicraft of balloons. So it's time to make a balloon shape more difficult. For example, a bear cub.

Such a nice bear is sure to please every child. So if you have a children's holiday planned, you can wind up these kind of bears and make all the kids happy. So, for the production of a bear, we only need one ball of "sausage". Although you can use two balls. The second will be the heart-ball, which our bear will hold in its paws. To make such a figure you need a ball with a length of ten to twelve centimeters. We inflate it, but we do not forget that the end must not be inflated. Then we twist seven bubbles of the following sizes from a ball: three centimeters-three centimeters-five centimeters-three centimeters-four centimeters-three centimeters-five centimeters. It will be the nose-back of the head-cheek-ear-forehead-ear-cheek. Remember that you need to turn all the bubbles only one way and hold the first and last bubble with your left hand. If you do not do this, they can unwind.
After that, our bubbles, which have a size of five centimeters, are twisted by a lock, and then we shove the bear's nose into the resulting loop. Just make sure that your head does not slip past the back of your head. He must stay behind.
Now we need to make ears for our bears. To do this, we take the bubble "forehead" and the bubble "cheek" and press them against each other. In the meantime, with the other hand, draw our thumb and index finger with our "eyelet" and twist it twice so that it does not untwist. So do with the second eye.
Now, when our cub has a muzzle, it remains only to make paws and torso. To do this, retreat three centimeters to the neck, twist and retreat no less than twenty centimeters to the front legs, fold it in half and make a loop, which we twist the lock. Then we retreat about six centimeters so that our bear has a "body" vial. Now it only remains to make two six-centimeter bubbles, which will play the role of hind legs and twist them into the lock. And the rest of our ball is turned into a pretty ponytail. That's all, now only it became to insert a heart in his paws and carefully fix it with a thread. Your lovely bear from a bright ball is ready to please children and adults.
