Balloon Twisting Pluto the Pup

Video Transcript

"Woof woof, hey Pluto. It's Micky Mouse's dog. He'd be really fun to make wouldn't he? I'm going to show you just how he is made. We're going to start with his nose. Most balloon animals do start with their nose. And we're going to make a bubble about two inches, and the next one about two and half inches, followed by another two and half inches. All three bubbles are all part of his muzzle. Now the smaller one is actually the bottom part of his muzzle. It just fits slightly underneath the other two, it's marginally larger. Now we come up to his eye. We're going to make a little bubble, which is what we fix the ears on to. Another eye, mirroring it, side for side so they are the same size and twist them at the base. Stretch it all up, and we're beginning to get the face of all our little Pluto dog. I'm going to do a little ear twist on that. This is where we fit his ears. We'll do the second eye, mirroring the size of the first one. We're getting them the same size, all nice and in proportion. Now he's not looking much like a dog yet, but he will when we pick his ears up. This is just a basic black balloon. I haven't used the whole length of it, it's your choice how long you want your puppies ears to be. I quite like mid-sized ears, and find the halfway point, and just fit it around that little ear twist, and we're going to give them a little bit of a shape, just bend them about a bit. There we go. We're going to take his nose, and just wrap it, take it underneath. We don't want to be seeing this excess, it's just to secure it in place. Take this little knot, make sure it's hidden away, there you go. Straighten everything up. Now, coming down the puppy, we're going to make a neck and add his legs on. These are the same legs as we had for the rabbit and the pink panther. Just fold twists at the base. Cross them over, make sure they're very secure, make some little knee joints. Come back to the tail, you choose how long you want your dog's tail to be. I like a nice little waggy tail. He's a funny little dog at the end of the day. Find the halfway point, fit his back legs. Straighten it up, and let's put his knee joints on. Straighten everything up. He's definitely big. Woof, and he's noisy. Woof!"
