psst...try either a 5" round (small bubble turned into 2) or 2-350 pinch twists and attach them from the back of the head to the front then lock twist them  ;)

Improvise with possibly a 350/360 triangle for the head section and a five sided 350/360 for the body, just a thought!

Well.

I did think of using 2, 6" hearts for the head and mouth, a 360 for the body etc..

But I thought that would be taking it away from the point of using geo's.

But if it's alright with the "latex godess Tonya" then I will have a go. :D

Kenny!!

I would LOVE to see your design you come up with substituting other balloons for the geo!  that way if I happen to not have geos handy...I'll know another way to make it  ;)  :lol:

Ok. Here is my attempt. The back of the head was a bigger fuller heart shape, But the time I got round taking the picture it had deflated slightly :( .. one of those slient deflations :D

But I suppose for a first attempt it turned out ok in the end. :D

Yes very nice, I must try and make one with the 350/360 triangle shape that I said about.

Here is my version without geos.  I used hearts for the head, and a 350 for the body.  Had to do the eyes slightly different.  Next time I would probably use just a poof of air in the eyebrows instead of inflating them.  It's not as nice/clean from the back either.  The back of the head is the 4 lobe bubbles.

Will try and add the instructions that Tonya has kindly sent me later on tonight. I need to resize/cut them etc as they are in a pdf document.

Tonya Kindly sent over the instructions in word but I'm none the wiser, I've printed out the pdf files and then taken pictures of each step, then cut to size in photo shop and then re-sized the pictures in Irfanview. Probably long winded but I do eventually get there.
