First How To of the Blog

My little brother has successfully created about sixteen or so balloon dogs, and they are everywhere. Some of them include: Mr. Niffy, Spotty, green ones with tiny bodies and huge tails, yellow ones with long limp noses, and a peach one with three sets of legs rather than two.

To make a Balloon Dog:
  1. Blow up one of those really long balloons and tie the end. It does not matter which end is the nose.
  2. Near the end of the balloon you wish to use as a nose, take a bit of the balloon and bend it in half, then twist the half. You should have something which looks somwhat like ears.
  3. About five inches down the balloon will be the front legs. Bend this in half and twist. The larger the section you bend, the larger the legs will be.
  4. Choose another section and bend and twist that. The further apart the legs, the longer the body.
  5. The bit after the back legs is the tail.
  6. With a Sharpie marker, draw eyes and mouth onto the head. You can also draw on other stuff, like a leash or a little shirt. Naturally, it is very unwise to pin anything to the dog.
  7. Write the dog's name on it's body if you want to, and if you made the body long enough.
  8. Once I have Broadband internet, I'll post a Vlog showing you how to make a balloon animal, since these instructions are very complicated.
