" Hi! I am Brandon Nowasky and on behalf of expertvillage.com, I am going to show you some more about balloon animals. This time we are going to make a dog. It is probably the most common balloon animal I ever made. I am going to fill the balloon up leaving about three and a half inches at the end. You are going to start at the knot end; this is going to be the nose of the dog. Next you want to do is get your twist; you can make the nose as long or short as you want. Then we are going to do is make the ears. To do that determines how long you want an ear, say an inch and a half, and fold over. Sometimes you lose it. Just hold on, redo it, fold over where you want the ears, you are going to lock and twist, just like that and get another ear, same thing, lock and twist. I want to make sure you are pulling because there is going to be a lot of friction out there, just like that. That is the head of the dog, two ears. The rest is pretty simple. Just move down toward the neck, how long you want the neck, twist and the legs, how we are going to do is, just like one of the ears maybe a little bit longer, fold and twist for the first set of legs, the body just got couple of inches. You can fold and twist the back and you got the tail at the end; that is your basic dog. And with this shape you can do a multiple things. You make a longer body for a weaner dog if you want it, a longer nose, bigger ears, whatever you want to do, that is the dog. In next clip, we will do another animal."
