The art of making balloons is called twisting. There are many companies that are engaged in the manufacture of such decorations for the holidays. However, you can learn how to add compositions yourself. It is better to start with the simplest ones.
It is necessary
- - markers;
- - Balloons.
Instructions
Step 1
The figurines are made from long, narrow balls, which are then twisted. If you have never been involved in such creativity before, then you should look for pictures with ready-made figurines on the Internet and create your figurine according to a ready-made sample. To do this, take balloons that match in color and inflate them. It should be inflated so that there is a lot of free space in the ball, otherwise, if you inflate it tightly, it will simply burst when twisted.
Step 2
All balls in the composition should be twisted in the same direction so that they stick well together and so that the figure keeps its shape. For example, a dog is done like this: inflate the balloon, leave the tail 10 centimeters non-inflated. Then roll three sausages of equal length, leaving a significant portion of the ball free. Put the second and third sausages together and turn relative to the ball so that the first twisted segment looks like a muzzle, and the next two - like ears. Then roll three more sausages of the same size. Put the second and third together again and turn so that you get the paws.
Step 3
After that, twist a sausage equal in length to two. This is the torso. After it, you should twist three more small sausages, equal in size to the first three. The first and second are brought back together and rotated in relation to the body so that the hind legs are obtained. The last sausage is the tail. The dog is ready. All other figures are made according to the same principle. The ball is twisted into segments of different lengths, and then these segments are collected into a composition. When you get a feel for the material, you can create shapes from balls of different colors by combining them together.
Step 4
To make the figures more realistic, you can add eyes, buttons and other elements to them with felt-tip pens.
