I have gone with the new two balloon Dinosaur that I came
up with I think possibly 3 months back now.

I will post the instructions up over the weekend.

A complimentary pack of balloons is sent out with every order so you can try
the design if you would like. Please post if you do have a go at making it,
thanks.

That looks adorable...can't wait for the instructions. (Feel free to delete this if you wish)

Here we go then with the step by step instructions.

Inflate the first 260 lime leaving 4/5 fingers un-inflated.

Make a 4 finger bubble followed by a 2 finger pinch twist and then another 4 finger bubble.

I pull the knot of the balloon up around the top pinch twist to help secure it all in place.

Make another 2 finger bubble and a 4 finger fold twist for the mouth section.

I then have a 10 finger bubble for the neck followed by a 2 finger pinch twist for the front body.

Then make two 4 finger leg bubbles and secure back into the front body pinch twist.
Deflate the rest of the balloon.

Inflate the next lime 260 leaving approx 3/4 fingers un-inflated.
Attach this to the front body pinch twist and make a 5 finger bubble
followed by a 2 finger pinch twist.

Make another 4 finger bubble and secure to the back pinch twist.

You then have to wrap very tightly the 260 balloon around the body/neck
and back to the rear body pinch twist. Make this as tight as possible.

As the top body bubble is 5 fingers this will pull up and to help shape
the body section as the two 4 finger bubbles sit underneath.

Shape the neck and tail with shock twists.

Inflate a white or possibly Ivory 260 for the eyes.

Attach to the back of mouth pinch twist, make a 3 finger
bubble and attach around the top pinch twist.

Make another 3 finger bubble into the back of the mouth pinch twist.

Discard rest of this balloon.

Then just add artwork,
I do rather like the look of this dinosaur and one to make in the real world.
