We are starting off with a two balloon bird for the
Model of the month for Jan 2019.
You could add white for the eyes and a 160 for a perch.
I went for simplicity for the beginning of the year
You can also add a base and the 350 blush is meant to be a work, needs
a little artwork but was using an older picture from a little while back.
The complimentary kit will be sent out with all orders for January.
Inflate the Caribbean blue and leave approx. 6 fingers un inflated.
Make two 2/2.5 finger bubbles that will be the eyes of the bird,
followed by a 1.5 finger pinch twist.
Then for the side of the body a 5 finger bubble followed by another 1.5 finger pinch twist.
The tail is a 2 finger bubble, a 4 finger bubble and another 2 finger bubble twisted around the pinch twist.
Then make another 5 finger bubble for other side of bird body and twist back into the top pinch twist.
Wrap the 260 snugly over the two bubbles for the eyes and twist into the pinch twist again.
The front body section is a 6 finger bubble twisted into the tail pinch twist.
Inflate the orange 160 for the beak just over half way,
make a 3 finger and 2 finger bubble and tie together.
Leave a little slack on the 160 before you make the two 2 finger pinch twists for the side of the beak.
Twist these around the head section.
Make a 2 finger bubble followed by a 1 finger pinch twist and then
a 2 finger fold twist for the first foot of the bird.
Make a 3 finger bubble for his leg and twist into the lower pinch twist.
Then make another 3 fingers bubble followed by a 1 finger pinch twist
and then the other 2 finger fold twist for his other foot.
Make another 2 finger bubble and twist into the first pinch twist.
Deflate the rest of the orange 160 and twist the first 2 finger bubble into the other pinch twist.
I prefer to have two spacer bubbles between the feet for safety.
I then have the pinch twist sitting between the legs for added stability.
Add artwork and a base or perch if you would like to.
Hope the instructions help and if you do make the design
then please post a picture..............................thanks.
