How to Make Bugs Bunny Balloon Animals

Video Transcript

"Yeah, what's up doc? Bugs Bunny, let's make him. He's such a character isn't he? Let's start by putting bugsy's nose on. Followed by a fold twist for a cheek, followed by another fold twist. And twist, then another fold twist. I've chosen to use this nice pale blue, baby blue. It's nice to give out to younger children. Now we're going to come up to the eye. Grab the little ears, which is just a round balloon folded in half to make a figure of eight shape. That goes at the base of the eye. Now we need eyes to be the same size so we're just going to mirror them. So we've got the two eyes and the bases at the same approximate measurement. And just twist them around. We can see already the shape of his face coming along. The work on the big, floppy ears at the end, and that just gives you a little bit of an idea. Next we need the neck, just like a one and a half inch bubble. We begin to take the arms that we've pre-made with a little fold twist there, which gives the neck some support. We're going to wrap it at the base of the arms. Once he's got his hands on, you might want to give him a little character hold, made from an orange balloon. Next, we're going to work on the body. It's a fairly short body, because our little bugsy's going to be sitting down. Just push the air down the balloon a little. Make a little fold twist. And then just feed the excess into that little space you left there. Then we're going to take his legs and just find the half. These hands and these feet have just been made by a simple fold twist. The bottom of his seat there, and just twist his legs on to it. Just straighten him all up. And put his little knee joints up, his elbow joints, his knee joint. And just finish off by working a little bit more on those ears, so they look nice and floppy. If you wanted to, you could always add a happy smile. I mean at the end of the day, Bugs Bunny is a very mischievous little character. Hey Bugs Bunny, how you doing there?"
