Balloon figures for beginners. How to do it yourself, video, photo step by step

You can hardly find a girl who is not a passionate fan of LOL dolls. A stylish series of toys with huge eyes, stylish hairstyles and accessories - a real magnet for fashionistas! After watching both parts of the master class, you will be able to make your daughter such a wonderful doll out of balloons with your own hands. And not 5 cm, as he suggests about a meter tall.

The first part of the master class is devoted to making the head of a toy, taking into account all the nuances - huge eyes, hairstyle and other little things.

What can be made from balls, which ones are suitable for twisting?

Twisting is the art of twisting long balloons into various shapes. This skill is especially popular among circus performers and magicians.

Professionals, with deft movements of their hands, give a long ball the shape of a dog, sun, flower, or make some other figure in 1 minute, which causes admiration among the audience. Twisted balls are used to decorate halls for weddings, birthdays and other celebrations.

Balloon figures for beginners

Twisting is also considered a useful activity for children. Twisting balls develops their imagination, fine motor skills and finger grip. Twisting also has a beneficial effect on the mental recovery process of those who have suffered a stroke or suffered a severe traumatic brain injury.

Modeling balls are abbreviated as ShDM. They differ from each other in color, length and diameter.

The table shows the sizes of balls that are most convenient to work with:

Diameter	Length
2.5 cm	150 cm
5 cm	152 cm
7.5 cm	160 cm

Beginning craftsmen need to know that on packaging from foreign manufacturers, the sizes of balls for twisting figures are indicated in inches with a three-digit number. For example, you can take size 260, where the first number indicates the diameter of the ball when inflated - 2 inches, that is, 5 cm. The last 2 numbers indicate the length. 60 inches is 152 cm.

ShDM is made from soft latex. Before purchasing, you need to check the balls for elasticity by slightly stretching them to the sides. The material should stretch without much effort, be dense and pleasant to the touch.

Tight balloons are more difficult to fill with air, and thin ones cannot withstand repeated twisting and burst. Even soft balloons cannot be inflated by mouth, so a small hand pump is required.

Tools and materials

You can make a teddy bear in any color - gray, beige, white, and pink and blue are also suitable for children's compositions. The main thing is to choose all types in a single color scheme. You will need:

Two 12-inch balls for head and body;
Several ShDM 260 and 160 for paws, ears and muzzle;
Marker or ready-made stickers for eyes and mouth;
Hand pump.

An important factor in the work is the elasticity and density of the balls, so it is better to choose products from a well-known brand.

Rolling up with a lock

Ball shapes (for beginners it is important to practice several rolling techniques) can be rolled in different ways. One of the most reliable is called “lock” twisting. It is used to fasten 3 bubbles located one after another, as well as to secure any twists.

How to roll with a lock:

Inflate the balloon, leaving the tip 3 cm without air.
Retreat 5 cm from one edge and twist the ball 2 times clockwise. You will get a bubble.
Make 2 more bubbles next.
Holding the bubbles with your hands so that they do not unwind, fold 2 of them and bend the ball at the point of their connection.
Twist them clockwise 2-3 times.

This method is used to decorate the paws of animal figurines, their ears or tails.

There are other techniques for twisting balls:

a loop;
ear;
split;
split loop;
body;
apple.

A more detailed description of these twisting methods can be found later in the article.

Master class on making a bear

Let's start by forming the body with bindings for the paws. To do this, we first inflate the balloon and deflate it, again filling it with air to the required amount. This way it will gain elasticity, which will allow you to fix all the bindings without much effort:

On the ShDM we tie 4 knots in succession and cut them into separate parts;
We outline the location of the upper and lower paws;
We apply one of the knots at the attachment point, carefully screw it “under the skin” of the bear and tie it with a 160-inch ShDM. This is how we make bindings for all 4 paws.

The next step is making the bear's head. To do this, we take the ball again, inflate it, deflate it and fill it with air again. We try it on the body and evaluate the ratio of dimensions. If necessary, release excess air. We tie the tails of the two balls together.

On the head we make attachments for the ears - just as we did them for the paws on the body;
Next, take 260 ShDM, inflate and make a pinch;
We wrap the ball around the resulting bubble in a semicircle and twist it;
We bleed excess air from the ShDM and tie it off;
We connect the two tails of the ball together - we get a characteristic bear ear;
We tie it to the head, and cut off the excess parts of the ShDM.

To prevent the head from dangling from side to side, we will fix its position using the ShDM. To do this, we inflate a 260-inch balloon, make 4 pinches on it, and deflate the rest. We thread the resulting structure of 4 bubbles between the head and body.

Let's start making the muzzle:

We take a round ball of the main color, inflate it and try it on the head - the more accurate the size matches, the more beautiful the bear will turn out;
We tie the ball, trying to place the knot as close to the edge as possible - it is important to maintain the softness and elasticity of the ball;
To make the spout, we inflate a brown 160-inch diameter balloon, make a small rectangular bubble out of it and tie its tails together, trim off the excess;
Next, we apply the brown ball to the muzzle, push it through and catch the knots on the opposite side, twist it and tie it with a 160-inch SDM;
We glue the face with silicone glue and draw the necessary facial features for the bear - eyes, mouth.

Balloon sword

To make a sword, you will need a ball of any color, 5 cm in diameter, 152 cm long.

Step-by-step instruction:

Inflate the balloon with a pump, leaving the tip 1 cm empty, without air.
Move the ball to your left hand. On the side where the start is tied, mark approximately 5 cm.
Using your left thumb, separate the bubble from the balloon by moving the air to the uninflated end.
Twist the bubble 2-3 times clockwise. Use the fingers of your left hand to hold the top of the ball.
The second bubble should be about 25 cm long. For convenience, you can bend the ball in your hand so that half of the 2nd bubble is on the bend.
The place where the previous bubble is twisted should be parallel to the place where the next one is twisted. Twist 2 bubbles.
The remaining part of the ball is considered the 3rd bubble.
Now you need to connect the places where the 1st and 2nd bubbles are twisted into a “lock”.
The twisted bubbles formed a loop into which you need to thread the 3rd bubble.
There is no need to push it all the way through. 3 the bubble should form an arc. Which will imitate the handle of a sword.

If the “blade” of a toy weapon turns out to be curved upward, then it should be carefully bent in the other direction and released. The long ball sword is ready.

Ball in a ball

An interesting idea to make a bunny with a belly containing many balls. If you give such a hare to a child, he will definitely be surprised.

For such a hare you will need not only long narrow balls, but also ordinary round ones. Choose the color scheme yourself, a boy will most likely like a blue bunny, but a girl will probably like a pink one.

In addition to the fact that he has a belly full of balls, multi-colored balls can also be added to his hands.

For greater stability, do not make lower legs for it, but inflate a tray from several balls. This way it will stand firmly on the surface.

To create a ball within a ball you will need a pump and several balls.

Balloon dog

Figures made from balls (for beginners, rolling a model from 1 ball is suitable) in the form of a dog can be of various shapes, imitating the silhouettes of animals of different breeds. Sometimes you can use several balls of various shades and sizes at once.

The most popular and easiest figure to perform is the poodle. It consists of 1 ball with a diameter of 5 cm and a length of 152 cm. The color of the material can be any.

Step-by-step instruction:

Fill the balloon with air, leaving an empty tip 15 cm long.
Twist 1 bubble measuring 5 cm. It will imitate the face of a poodle.
The next bubble should be 2 cm in size.
Roll 1 more ball 1 cm long.
Make 1 more bubble measuring 2 cm.
Secure bubble twists 1 and 4 with a “lock”. You will get the head of a dog with ears and a muzzle. The launch imitates a nose.
Now you need to twist the bubble for the neck. Its size is 2 cm.
The next bubble should be 5 cm long.
Twist a new 2 cm bubble.
Make a bubble 5 cm long.
Twists 6 and 8 of the bubble need to be connected into a “lock” to form the front paws of a poodle.
The dog's body will simulate an 8 cm bubble.
To form the hind legs, you need to repeat steps 8 to 11.

After twisting the hind legs, there should be a bubble on top with an uninflated end. To turn it into a fun poodle tail with a pompom at the end, this front bubble is inflated with your fingers so that some of the air goes up to the uninflated end.

Create a horse

And now instructions for creating a funny horse from balloons. The horses turn out to be very cute and evoke a lot of emotions in children.

To create this animal, we take two balls of different colors, in this case the finished horse will look more interesting. The photo above shows a version made from one ball, and the part that consists of a large number and serves as a mane can be replaced with a ball of a different color.

An option on how this is done is described below.

Hare

To make a figure in the shape of a hare you will need 1 ball with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 150 cm.

Step-by-step instruction:

Inflate the balloon, leaving the tip 4 cm empty.
From the start, roll up a bubble 8 cm long.
The next 2 bubbles should be 16 cm each.
The twist of bubbles 2 and 3 must be secured by twisting them into a “lock”. You will get the face of a rabbit with ears.
For the neck you need a bubble measuring 3 cm.
The next 2 bubbles are the same size, about 10 cm.
Connect twists 5 and 6 of the bubble into a “lock”. Now we have the front legs of a rabbit.
To simulate a body, you need a bubble 8 cm long.
At the other end of the ball you need to make a bubble measuring 3 cm.
Both ends of the body must be screwed into a lock. You will get the hind legs and tail of a hare.

You can use a marker to draw eyes and whiskers on the rabbit.

Poodle dog

This is the most popular type of twisting. At one time, such a choice was called “losharik”.

After the ball is inflated, we make one twist on it - this will be the muzzle.
We fix the first bubble with our fingers; on average, its size is 3-4 cm.
Next we make 5 identical bubbles, which will be used to make the muzzle. As a result, in the initial part we will get a certain chain of 5 bubbles. Place them together and twist them separately, about 3 times. It turned out to be the face of an animal.
Next we need to make the legs. But don’t forget to leave 12-13 cm for the future neck.
Twist the ball so that a bubble emerges approximately in the center, in other words, a sausage.
Fold it in half vertically, press down both parts and twist them together.
The front paws are already there. Now there is only a place left from which we will make the hind limbs and tail.
Fold the ball in half, watch the proportions and twist the back part.

Swan

To create a figure in the form of a swan, you will need a white ball with a diameter of 5 cm and a length of 152 cm.

Step-by-step instruction:

Inflate the balloon, leaving a free end 8 cm long.
Start by rolling up a 2 cm bubble.
Secure the launch and twist into a “lock”.
The next bubble should be 30 cm long.
Connect the twist of 2 and 1 bubble into a “lock”.
Make a bubble 20 cm long. Twist the beginning and end into a “lock”.
You should get 2 loops. The arc of 3 bubbles needs to be inserted inside 2 loops.
The rest of the ball will be the swan's neck. It will need to be slightly bent in the desired direction.

The remaining tip without air imitates a beak. All that remains is to draw the bird’s eyes with a marker.

Birds

Balloon figures for beginners can be made from 2 balls of different colors. The most popular bird in twisting is the parrot. Other forms of birds are more difficult and require good preparation.

To model a parrot you will need:

Green ball with a diameter of 5 cm and a length of 152 cm.
A 5 cm scrap from a red ball with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 150 cm.
Black marker.

Step-by-step instruction:

Fill the green ball with air, leaving the tip 5 cm without air.
From the start, twist 2 identical bubbles of 3 cm each.
Place the bubbles together and twist 2 bubbles together. This will be the parrot's head.
Now we need to make the body. This method of twisting was mentioned earlier in the article. First you need to twist 2 bubbles 8 cm long. Twist 3 and 4 bubbles together. The next 8 cm bubble needs to be pushed between the previous 2.
Secure the connections with a “lock”.
On the back of the ball you need to twist a bubble measuring 8 cm.
The initial and final twist of the longest part of the ball must be connected into a lock so that a loop is formed. It will imitate a parrot's swing.
Correct the remaining end. So that he looks down. This will be the bird's tail.
The cut from the red ball will become the beak for the parrot. The tip must be tied in a knot and the balloon inflated.
The ends of the cut ball must be twisted between bubbles 1 and 2. Carefully insert the resulting red bubble between the green bubbles.

Use a marker to draw eyes and design the bird's beak.

Balloon cat

There are ways when you can make a cat out of a ball using two, three or even four balls. But it takes too long, and children don't like to wait. I suggest making an interesting toy from just one ball.

Take an ordinary rubber ball, but not round, but long. Check it for defects and fill it about 75 percent with helium. Tie well. Then twist the ball five centimeters and divide the resulting circle into two parts, securing them with the tip. This will be the cat's face.

Here I would like to remind you about safety precautions. Despite the fact that the ball is a soft and safe thing, as they say, once a year the stick shoots. If a child squeezes the balloon too much, it may burst and scare the child. And if you inflate the ball more than necessary, then during a rupture it can cause unpleasant wounds to the child and those around him.

Let's return to the cat. Take the knot you made to secure the ball and wrap it around the last piece. The two pieces should now be connected. The knot will hold them and prevent them from falling apart.

Bow

This bow option is simple and suitable for beginners. The figure has a ring into which you can insert a bouquet of balloons or put it on your hand as a bracelet.

To work you will need a ball with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 15 cm. You can choose any color. Metallic shades look beautiful.

Step-by-step instruction:

Inflate the balloon, leaving the tip 5 cm without air.
From the start, twist 1 bubble 13 cm long.
The next bubble should be 23 cm in size.
Twists 2 bubbles need to be twisted into a “lock”.
To determine the approximate size of all other bubbles, the rest of the ball needs to be folded 3 times.
Twist the ball along the bend line, forming bubbles 3, 4 and 5.
Secure twists 3 and 4 bubbles with a “lock”.
Twist 2 bubbles, 2 cm each.
Secure twists 5 and 6 of the bubble with a “lock”.

The message bubble (7) should be the same size as the first one. All that remains is to correct all the details and you can use the bow as a decoration for an inflatable bouquet.

Chamomile

Balloon figures for beginners can be made from 1 or 2 balls. This master class presents 2 options at once. To form a daisy you will need: a white ball with a diameter of 7.5 cm, a length of 160 cm, and a yellow or green ball with a diameter of 5 cm, a length of 152 cm.

Step-by-step instruction:

Inflate a white balloon, leaving a 10 cm tip without air.
From the start, twist 6 identical bubbles 12 cm long. All twists are securely fastened.
Secure twists 1 and 6 of the bubble with a “lock” to make a ring.
Fold the ring in half so that all the twists are parallel to each other.
Twist all parallel connections into a “lock”.
Stack all the bubbles so that 3 are in your hand and the remaining 3 are on top.
The connections that are in your hand need to be twisted together using a “lock”.
The remainder of the ball can imitate a stem.

This is an option for beginners.

To assemble a chamomile from balls of 2 colors, you need to continue the step-by-step steps:

Trim the rest of the ball and tie the end with a strong knot.
Inject enough air into the green or yellow ball to form a 3 cm bubble. The rest should remain empty.
Twist the start and end of the bubble into a “lock”.
Pull the soft, uninflated tip through the center of the white ball flower.
Roll the other end of the ball into a ring and secure it with a “lock” between the top twist 1 and 2 of the white ball bubble.

Now this chamomile can be put on your hand as a bracelet.

Let's consider another option for weaving a basket

Let's look at another step-by-step instructions for making a basket of balloons. First you need to inflate 6 balloons with 3.5 pitches for each. Having measured 6 fingers on one of them, we twist them. We attach the second one to the place of twisting. We continue to add the remaining balls in the same way, closing the circle:

We make a pinch twist on any beam, then measure a little more than 8 fingers on it (to expand the basket in each new row, the bubbles should be a little longer) and do a twist. We make a pinch twist on the adjacent beam, connecting 2 beams together. We connect the remaining rays in the same way, finishing the weaving of the 2nd row.

We weave 3 more tiers of the basket in exactly the same way and make pinch twists at the tips of the balls. Now you need to make the bottom of the basket. In this version it will be semi-decorative and will not be suitable for all compositions.

Inflate the next balloon, measure 3 fingers and twist it. Then we perform a pinch twist, again measure 3 fingers and twist the first section with the third.

We repeat the element three times to get the center of the bottom. We attach it to the main structure using balls. We make the handle from two balls twisted together.

If you want to make a basket with a beautiful complex shape, it should be quite large, and you will also need quite a lot of balls (BDM).

To make a basket, you will need several balls, inflated equally (with the same length of bodies and tails). To do this, after inflating the first balloon, you need to use it as a sample.

When making the first row of the basket, on the first SDM we make a round bubble and fold it into an ear-type lock.

There are several rules to follow when rolling bubbles:

We slightly press the ball with our fingers before twisting, since in this place the ball mill should not be too sluggish or too tight. In the first case, the bubble will not turn out round, in the second, it may immediately burst or deflate.

The length of the bubbles in one tier should be the same; for this you need to learn to aim accurately before twisting. We mark an imaginary twist line with our thumb, then twist in this place.

Bubbles should not rub against each other or creak loudly during twisting and wrapping. During such a squeak, the balls are damaged, as a result the craft will not be able to last long.

To complete the tier, the body of the ball is threaded between long bubbles and pulled out.

Tulip

To model a tulip you will need 1 green ball and 1 red ball with a diameter of 5 cm and a length of 152 cm.

Step-by-step instruction:

Inflate both balloons, leaving the ends 4 cm uninflated.
Link the ball launches together.
From the beginning of the red ball, twist a 10 cm bubble, then another 2 cm in size and again make a 10 cm bubble.
Twist all connections into a “lock”.
Repeating steps 3 and 4, make 4 more tulip petals.
Fold all the resulting bubbles together, placing the bottom twists parallel to each other.
Fix the 3 small upper bubbles and twist them together with a “lock”. The flower bud is ready.
From the beginning of the green ball, make a bubble measuring 10 cm, fold it in half and twist the beginning and end into a “lock”.
Repeat the previous step 2 times. The remainder of the ball is the stem of the flower.

For buds, you can use yellow, pink or blue balls. Having collected a bouquet of 5-6 different tulips, you can decorate them with a bow.

Mischievous tiger cub

Now let's look at the technique of creating a wonderful tiger from balloons with your own hands.

You need to get an average of eleven sausages. We inflate the balloon and mark thirteen or fourteen centimeters, then tie a knot and make seven small bubbles. We twist between the second and third bubbles, and then repeat between the fourth and sixth bubbles. This is followed by the details of the head, the tiger's forehead, cheeks, jaws, and ears.

We take the first bubble and push the head inside, while holding the other one from the outside of the head. After this, we wrap it between the eighth and ninth bubble, thus creating a mouth and nose.

The fourth and sixth bubbles will be the ears of the future tiger. After this, we make the body and legs according to the same pattern. The ends of the ball must be tied with a double knot and divided in half.

There should be two extra bubbles left at the end. These will be the hind legs of the tiger cub.

Mouse

A mouse-shaped figure can be twisted from 1 ball of any color with a diameter of 5 cm and a length of 152 cm.

Step-by-step instruction:

Fill the balloon only halfway with air.
From the start, roll up a bubble 25 cm long.
Bend the ball where it is twisted.
Focusing on the middle of the small bubble, you need to twist both balls to get 2 small bubbles on top. They will imitate ears.
To prevent air from moving around the uninflated part, you need to tie a knot at the end of the bubble.

The lowered end imitates the tail of a mouse. Use a marker to draw eyes, a mustache and paint over the starter.

Tools

Before you start making various models and figures, you need to choose high-quality and durable balls - this is one of the most important points in our business!

We do not recommend buying Chinese-made goods. They are not suitable for professional twisting, as they are made of artificial latex.

You will also need a two-way pump. Important additional tools that may also come in handy include scissors, a small tube tube and a marker.

Also, before you start working with the balloon (inflating, twisting, tying), you need to stretch it a little.

We inflate, as usual, through the neck. A tail remains so that air can pass through when twisted. The length of the main part depends on what kind of figure we are going to make.

Horse

To model a horse you will need 2 pink and blue balls with a diameter of 5 cm and a length of 152 cm.

Step-by-step instruction:

Fill the pink balloon with air, leaving an 8cm empty tip.
From the beginning of the ball, twist a bubble measuring 8 cm.
Twist another 3 cm bubble. Twist the beginning and end of the bubble into a “lock”.
For the neck you need a bubble 10 cm long.
Make 1 more bubble 3 cm in size. Twist the beginning and end of the bubble into a “lock”.
Twist 2 identical 12 cm bubbles.
Place the bubbles together and connect them to the previous “lock”. These are the horse's front legs.
For the body you need a bubble measuring 12 cm.
Repeat steps 5, 6 and 7. You will get the hind legs. They and the front legs need to be twisted in a spiral. The remaining part of the ball is the horse's tail.
Fill the blue ball with air to 25 cm.
From the start, twist 2 balls of 2 cm each, secure with a “lock”.
With a “lock” you need to connect 2 bubbles of a blue ball with a twist of 1 bubble of a pink one.
Place the blue ball on the horse's neck and form a bubble parallel to the bottom twist.
Twist the blue ball in a “lock” around the pink one. The result was a horse with a mane.

You can make a bridle from a scrap of blue ball. To do this, you need to thread the ball between the neck and mane and tie the loose ring in a knot. Trim off the excess and tighten the bridle over the horse's face.

Frequently asked questions and answers

You can make all sorts of flowers and animals from sausage balls.

1. The ball is twisted several times, creating separate compartments. 2. A long balloon is twisted 4 times in a simple way. The two middle compartments are twisted three times, first moving them away from the outer bubbles. 3. The ball folded in half is twisted at the ends. This makes three compartments. One with a loop and one on each edge.

There is no need to inflate the balloon all the way. To prevent it from bursting when twisting, you should always leave an uninflated tail 9-12 cm long - air will be squeezed out there. After the balloon is inflated, you need to firmly hold the neck with your fingers and, removing it from the pear, tie it in a knot.

You need to use the method described above: “What can be made from long balls.”

1. Inflate the “sausage” balloon, leaving 15-20 cm uninflated, and tie a knot. 2. Start from the dog's head with a knot. Twist three bubbles. Twist the last two together - these will be the ears. 3. Make a 2.5-centimeter neck and, following it, following the example of the head with ears, twist the front legs. 4. Make about a 10cm body, followed by the hind legs. 5. Leave a small ball of air at the base of the tail and drive the rest of the air to the end of the tail.

Giraffe

You can make a giraffe from a yellow or orange ball 2.5 cm in diameter, 150 cm long.

Step-by-step instruction:

Inflate the balloon, leaving the tip 10 cm without air.
Start by rolling up a 5 cm bubble.
Make 2 identical bubbles of 5 cm each and twist them into a “lock”.
The next bubble should be 25 cm long.
Now you need to twist 4 bubbles to form the front legs. 1 bubble is 8 cm, the next 2 are 2 cm each and the last one is 8 cm.
Twist the beginning and end of this chain into a “lock”.
A giraffe's body requires a bladder measuring 8 cm.
To make the hind legs, you need to repeat steps 5 and 6.
The remaining part of the ball will imitate the tail of a giraffe.

Use a marker to draw eyes, nose, mouth and spots.

Final stage

Next you need to make the legs. Measure ten centimeters on the ball and twist it ten times, as in previous times, for strength. The cat's legs are ready. Next you need to make the paws. To do this, twist and secure the third part of the leg. Carry out these manipulations to create a second leg. Then put both paws down where they belong. We made the front legs.

Next, measure ten centimeters for the body, secure it, as I already said, and start working on the hind legs. The essence is the same as for making the front legs. Twist to the desired length, measure the paws with claws, and fasten. The remaining part of the ball - correctly - is used as a tail. All. The ball cat is ready. If you filled it with helium, then feel free to tie it to a thread or ribbon and hand it to your child.

If you are making this craft with children, warn them that the balloon must be handled very carefully. Most often, children do not yet manage their strength at the proper level and can ruin the whole thing at the initial stage and become very upset. And we don’t need extra tears at the holiday. Therefore, constantly remind your children to be careful and careful, and everyone will be happy. And at this time adults can go about their business and talk calmly without children's noise.

Letters

Rolling simple balloon letters is very easy, so there's no need for step-by-step tutorials here. Typically, the balloons are filled with air, leaving the end 5-10 cm uninflated. The folds are marked with a marker. For beauty, you can decorate these places with small 3 cm bubbles.

Balloon figures are easy to make with your own hands. Beginners need a little practice to master this skill. Then step-by-step instructions will not be needed, because experienced craftsmen rely only on their own imagination, inventing all kinds of new forms.

Important to consider

Before studying the master class, read the advice of experienced masters.

When preparing balloons for work, buy twice as many of them, because no one is immune from the fact that they can easily burst; be sure to have spare ones. Do not tie the inflated balloon with thread, just do it using the stretched tip of the balloon, tying it into a knot. When inflating with a pump, do not pump it to the limit, because when twisting, the air will not be able to be properly distributed throughout the entire space.
