How to make Balloon Animals - the baby Octopus
 |
Steps to perform:
Blow up 4 short balloons. Twist the balloons in the middle and twist them together.
Blow up a Round balloon and tie to the others in the centre.
Draw a friendly face and bend the 8 'leg' balloons into position. |
The Eyes Have it !
Drawing features on balloon animals gives them real character. Sometimes it is essential to make certain features stand out in order to make the balloon animal look right.

Possibly the smallest balloon animals in the world:
Recently I have tried making minature versions of some of the popular animaloons (Cat/Rabbit/Bear/Turtles). You should be able to get 4 tiny animals out of just one long balloon or 2 tiny animals out of a short balloon. These have proven to be very economical and very cute!
