For an inexperienced creator, the methods of modeling figures from a ball at first glance seem tricky, but it takes a couple of practice, and even a child will be able to model a dog or mouse after a while. Moreover, such frequent activities develop the child's perseverance, vivid imagination, the ability to invent and fantasize.
Instructions
Step 1
All we need is a little patience and lightness of hands.
We need a special ball in the form of a sausage, a hand pump (it makes it faster and easier to inflate the ball). When buying balloons, try not to sell too cheap: cheap balloons quickly break and become unable to keep their shape when inflating and twisting. For example, we will make a dog figurine - perhaps the simplest figurine for a beginner.
Step 2
Inflate the ball with a pump (but be sure to leave 15-17 cm space for air at the end of the ball, otherwise, when twisting, the ball will burst from a lot of pressure)
Step 3
Start with the dog's head. The ball knot will be our dog's nose. Twist 3 balls in a row, the first one is larger - the head, the second two of the same size are smaller - the ears of the dog. Twist the last two balls together. The balls are twisted around their axis 2-3 times, no more.
Step 4
Make a small ball next. This will be the dog's neck. Using the dog's ears as an example, make the first two legs in exactly the same way. Twist the neck and two legs together.
Step 5
Roll an oblong ball a good distance from your neck. This will be the body of the dog. At the end of the body, make two balls - the hind legs. Twist the hind legs and the end of the torso together. Place the dog on four legs to assess the proportions and symmetry of body parts. If everything is in order and the dog looks like a dog, then at the end the finishing touch is the dog's tail in the form of a ball. The size of the tail should be exactly such that our dog stands firmly on the plane, thus the ears in front and the tail in the back should balance each other.
