BUZZ BRACELET

A fantastic bracelet - instantly recognisable, fast and easy to make. It's nice to see a bracelet suitable for a boy. I love it!

SQUIRREL BRACELET

This is the most challenging balloon on the DVD especially creating an S Twist for the Squirrel's tail with a 350Q. Designed to sit on the wrist, this balloon doesn't look too good free standing. If I was to make this again I would try to get the sizing of the head balloons more accurate as Don's version is so much better than mine. But hopefully this gives you some idea of its potential.

CREEPY EYEBALL HAT

When I first made this balloon I was very surprised as it didn't seem to be up to the usual high standard of Don's creations. I took it to a birthday party today and it was very popular with the boys. So give it a try. Very easy to make.

CREEPY EYETOOTH HAT

A slight variation on the previous creation. A different hat base and the addition of two 321Q whites for teeth. I wouldn't bother with this. The first simpler version is good enough.

BALLERINA HAT

I really like this design. The ballerina is simple to make and very fast. This doesn't need to be a hat and can easily be a standalone model. I would see this suitable for line work and if you wanted to save money just use a regular round balloon and draw your own face.

GUMBALL BRACELET

This bracelet is a little tricky to make. I am not sure if I am using the correct technique but I made the individual balloon balls and then stuffed them inside an uninflated clear heart before inflating. The animation is nice but I am not sure if gumball machines are that well known in the UK.

CROWN BRACELET

A good colourful bracelet that is easy to make. My guess here is that girls would prefer a crown that they can wear on their head so I made a larger version of this bracelet which was so much better.

BELLE PRINCESS HAT

And still my review continues! This is a simple princess hat using the hard to obtain (at least in the UK) princess 5" rounds. I had to buy these from the USA which will limit me for professional gigs. Don suggests that you take time to color the face which I think is very effective. Quick and easy, if you can get a good supply of faces. The alternative is to use plain blush rounds and at the artwork yourself.

AERIAL PRINCESS HAT

Similar to the previous design. Although it is not clear from this photo, this hat has two fins at the back for the mermaid's tail. I like the use of well known aerial colours as whilst not a complicated design it is instantly recognisable.

MOUSTACHE

A comedy gag using two 321Qs which I can see as being great fun. Hard to take a photo of this myself so I used my son as a model (not a very good one). Very quick to make and I can see a use for this one.

PIXIE BRACELET

A cute little pixie that would be a whole lot better if I made the head in proportion and my artwork was better. Don uses a sempertex key lime as the colour is a better match but I used a standard lime green. Quick for line work but need to work on my drawing.

TEDDY BRACELET

This is a very quick and easy to make Teddy Bear wearable bracelet using just two balloons. Excellent for line work - easy made within a minute.

ROBOT BRACELET

Even easier than the Teddy bear and can be made very fast. I am no superhero expert but I am guessing this is supposed to be iron man.

PRINCESS HAT

A quick princess hat which in this example the feet should be attached to a hat base. I don't think the head print looks good on this one. I like the other princess hats already shown but this one is not great. Despite Roger's expert tuition at the last London jam I am still struggling to make a decent skirt!

Change the colours and artwork on that bear and you have a popular toy story character!
