Hi guys
Havn't been on here for ages !
Have been doing a bit of basic twisting with my pirate stilt walking, ( only swords and pirate hats - I did say basic )

Got a gig This Saturday as The Snow Queen on stilts and was hoping to do some more basic one balloon twists.
Was thinking of a snow related things, like a SNOWMAN or snow bear, or crown, with white or silver balloons.

Could any one point me in the right direction, or give me instuctions for a basic snowman ? Cant find anything simple on this site, or on youtube
:)

Check this. Hence not one balloon figure, but hope helps. Needs one heart balloon and two 160Q scraps, one for the hat and one for the scarf.

I know this post is old but I just thought I would add that I saw someone make a small but cute 1 balloon snowman with a white/blacked tipped b body, basically three bubbles and the black tip was the hat.

this one uses 2 balloons but is super simple can be done with a 5" round and 160 or a 9 or 11" round and a 260.

I reverse inflate the 260 (usually, that way there's no knot at the top of the hat) and start with the hat.
1- 3 finger bubble
2- pinch twist
3- 1 finger bubble
4- pinch twist
5- loop twist around the 1st pinch and the smaller bubble (this is the brim)
6- tie off and remove excess
7- inflate remaining balloon leaving just a small amount of room (this is the start of the scarf)
8- 6 finger bubble
9- pinch twist
10- underinflate the round (about 2/3 the specified size) and tie close to the nozzle but leave room to attach the hat
11- twist the round so that about 1/3 of the air is on the knot end
12- loop the scarf around the round balloon at the twist and fit snuggly connect at the pinch twist
13- with the remaining balloon make a 6 finger bubble
14- tie off and remove excess
15- some marker work and your done
