How to Make Balloon Animals Poodles

Video Transcript

" Hi everybody Malik the magic guy with expertvillage.com. Now for the poodle. This is the poodle I have been making forever. This is one of the first balloons I ever learn how to make out of a great book called Balloon Magic by Marvin Hardy it is a great book you should check it out Qualatex actually publishes it and most of the balloon suppliers have it. So here is the poodle. You want to start with a balloon with half way blown up. Again like we did earlier this is about half of the length of the balloon. We are going to make about a inch and half for a two inch bubble like this. We are going to do a lock twist with three bubbles. So you would want to make a small one. This is about a inch and the bigger one like a inch and half like this. Then you want to make another small one like a inch and that is what you have. We are going to take these two bubbles right here and lock twist them together. That is going to make the head of the poodle. Just like that. Now we are going to give it a neck. What you want to do is take your pinkie and stick it right here in the joint of the balloon that way you have the rest of your fingers to help you. You are going to make like a two inch bubble like this. A couple of small three quarter or one inch bubbles. That is kind of the port portion you want another two inch bubble like this. We are going to lock twist those together and that would make the head and the front legs of the poodle. That is about how long of the body you want that is maybe three fingers. Another set of legs just like the first set. So it is a long two shorts and a long or two small and a big that is the configuration you want. Lock twist those together and that gives you your basic poodle. Now if you want to add some detail earlier when we did on of the hats I made a bubble on the end and the way I'm going to do that is by squeezing this whole bubble. Blocking this with my fingers like this so I would just have a little bit of air expose and squeeze that and the air would come out. There is way to that in your mouth I do not advise it cause I never think you should be putting balloons in your mouth especially in front of kids but that is your basic poodle. You can put a little face on it and give it to a kid and they will love it."
