I have decided to put up the instructions for the bunny rabbit, this is a little different from the one on the DVD.

Inflate two grey 260's leaving 3 fingers un-inflated, squeeze the air along so you have 2 fingers un-inflated.
Tie both balloons together, you then measure around the person who will be wearing the hat,
I twisted a 16 finger, 4 hands and then made a 2 finger pinch twist in both balloons.

Make a 2 finger bubble in both balloons and twist together.

Now inflate the white 260 leaving approx. 6 fingers un-inflated.
Tie the white balloon around the last twist you made in the grey balloons.
I then twist the knot from the white balloon around the two pinch twists to secure it tightly.

Make a 4 finger fold twist (an 8 finger bubble) and twist into the same section of the grey balloon.

Then make another 4 finger fold twist and attach into the same section.

Make a 4 finger bubble in both of the grey balloons and twist together,
pull one of the grey balloons through the twist you have just made to lock it in place.

Generally you will have one of the grey 260 longer than the other, you need one to be 3/4 fingers longer.
If it is not then stretch the longer balloon of the two, pull the balloon through your hand to do this,
the warmth from your hand will stretch the balloon.

Twist the longer grey at the end with a 4 finger bubble, I put a knot in mine only for taking the picture.

Put a 1 finger bubble in the other grey balloon and push this bubble between the two
grey 4 finger bubbles at the top of the head section. This will form one of the ears.

The longer grey 260 balloon, where you have the 4 finger bubble at the end,
wrap this twist also between the two 4 finger grey bubbles you made.

Then twist a 1 finger bubble in the remainder of the grey 260.

The 3 finger bubble sits in between the two 4 finger bubbles to make the face little rounder.

The 1 finger end bubble twists into where the two fold twists in white are.

Make a 3 finger bubble in the white 260 for one of the eyes, wrap this around the top of the head and ears.
As the eyes are a 3 finger bubble and the grey for the back of the head a 4 finger bubble this helps to pull
the face down to make it look a little rounder.

Make another 3 finger bubble in the white balloon and wrap around the two fold twists.

Now make the teeth for the rabbit, two 3 finger bubbles and twist back into the same centre point.

Make a 2.5 finger nose bubble, I have done black but rose would be nice as well.
Make a loose knot so it looks roundish, if you tie too tight it will look like a pinch twist.

Attach around the centre point securely.

Hopefully your rabbit is looking a little like this one.

I use the same white balloon for the tail but you might want to use another balloon.
Leave a 12 finger bubble in the white balloon and have 3 fingers un-inflated.

Make two 2 finger pinch twists and then two 2 finger bubbles and wrap the balloon around the two pinch twists.

Shape the ears by shock twisting. Perhaps one ear can go up a little and the other down.

I then make a small 1 finger bubble in the end of the balloon and wrap the rest of the 260 around the two 2 finger bubbles.

Attach the tail to the join in the two grey 260's.
If you have not used the end of the balloon then do not worry about the last 1 finger bubble.
Attach the two pinch twists to the back of the rabbit.

I changed to a burgundy background as the picture looks a little clearer.
