How to make a dog from a ball?

A good mood is associated with the holiday, and a holiday - with a beautiful design of the room where it passes. And if the child has a birthday, then no balloons can not do. Of course, these multi-colored balls and in themselves can serve as an excellent decor, but if you include fantasy, they can easily be turned into any animal or whole composition.

A sweet little dog from a long balloon is a basic work, which one should learn to do to those who want to twist from the balls a variety of figures. For the modeling of figures you can use many kinds of balloons of elongated shape, but with 260 and 260-2 balls work most conveniently. They are elastic, strong, safe. It is these properties have a natural latex, which is used for the production of balloons. They do not burst when inflated by the mouth.

In our master class we will tell you how to make a dog from a ball. Ready?

We will need:

  1. If you do not have a pump at your fingertips, you can make a ball of your own with a rubber pear. However, before inflating the ball, stretch it slightly by pulling both ends. If you blow your mouth, make sure that your cheeks do not swell too much, as this can cause the rupture of the smallest capillaries, and a bluish "mesh" will appear on your face. Until the end of the balloon should not be inflated, you must leave a "tail" length of about 8-10 centimeters. This is necessary so that when twisting the air from each "sausage" (the constituent elements of our dog from the ball) could move into this part. Properly tie the tip. Now, on the side of the knot, retreat by 5 centimeters and make 5-6 turns to get a "sausage". In the same way make two more sausages, but a little smaller size (3-4 centimeters). The first will serve as the muzzle of the dog, and the other two will be the ears.
  2. Bend the ball as shown in the photo, and then fix the ears, which are indicated by the letters B and C, with the turns. You should get a head - a muzzle with ears.
  3. The next three "sausages", twisted in the same way, will serve as the neck and front paws of the dog. As you can see, the ball is already remotely like a dog.
  4. And the last four "sausages", where A is, in fact, the body of the dog. B and C are its hind legs, and D is the tail. The size of the calf and tail can be anything, but the hind legs not only have to be the same about the length relative to each other, but also coincide in size with the forelegs. That's all it takes to make a dog from a ball, how simple, is not it?

As mentioned above, the dog is the base piece made of marbles. If you have mastered the principle of its modeling, then you can experiment with the length of "sausages". So, with the extension of the "sausage", which serves as a calf, you will get an amusing dachshund. Do on the tail of an additional ball - that's ready poodle, and if you lengthen the neck and legs, then there will be a giraffe.

When modeling from balloons will become your hobby, then you can not do without a pump, because puffing them with your mouth is not an easy task. In addition, the beads are often sold without individual packaging, so contact with the oral mucosa may be unsafe. The most affordable option is a two-way hand pump. A few movements - and put the ball. If you have to inflate a large number of balls, you should buy a compressor. They are available in two variations: one-tip and two-tip.

From the ball you can twist and other shapes: flowers or sword .
