How to Twist a Balloon Frog

I will teach you how to make a balloon frog.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A quality 260 Latex Balloon (the cheapie wally world ones suck)
• Air Pump (or blow by mouth)
• Sharpie Marker

1. 
   Out of breath?

   This is the hard part. No, not really. Inflate balloon and leave about 2-3" at the end.

2. 

   At the knot end twist a 4" bubble.

3. 

   Bend the 4" bubble and twist the knot into the twist.

4. 

   Twist two 2" bubbles.

5. 

   Twist the two 2" bubbles together. Where my thumb and pinky are in picture above.

6. 

   Now twist a tiny bubble followed by two 2" bubbles.

7. 

   Twist the two 2" bubbles together.

8. 

   Twist a 3" bubble.

9. 

   Twist a small bubble at the end of the balloon.

10. 

    Twist the small bubble into the twist of the 3" bubble.

11. 

    Find the middle of the big loop, and bring it to where we twisted the small bubble. Twist both sides to make the hind legs.

12. 

    Take out your Sharpie and give that little guy a face. Sometimes I make the frog stick out his tongue. And sometimes I draw in a fly.
