Quick Find

	Material: one Robin’s Egg 260 one (scrap) White Inflate the 260, leaving about 4.5" - 5" of uninflated tail. 01. Snout – (big pinchtwist) Make a soft 2" bubble and pinchtwist it. This is probably the biggest pinchtwist you can make without it becoming a looptwist. 02. Head – (unequal birdbody) Start by making a 3" bubble and a 5" bubble and locktwist them. Push through another 3" bubble to complete the head. Position the bigger curved bubble on top, creating the round shape of the dolphin’s head.
	03. Sidefins - (two unequal locktwists) Make a 1" and a 2" bubble and locktwist them for the first sidefin. Make another similar locktwist for the other sidefin. (picture Step3 & Step4)
	04. Backfin - (unequal locktwist) Make a 4.5" and a 3" bubble. Locktwist them for the backfin. Position all the three fins: two smaller towards the side, the single bigger fin upwards.
	05. Tail – (curved bubble) Make a 5.5" - 6" bubble for the tail. Curve it into shape. (picture Step6a)
	06. Tailfin - (axle twist) From the nipple end twist off a 1" bubble. The previous bubble should be about 5.5". Make a looptwist of this larger bubble and push in the final 1" bubble to fill it up. Squeeze a bit for the right shape.
	07. Eyes - Use a scrap white 160, make two soft 2" bubbles and looptwist both.(Like an 8).
	Tuck them inbetween the head. Draw on eyes with 3 lightflares for extra cuteness. Using a 160 makes for more round friendly eyes, compared to using 260 which gives a bit mean look. You could also split up a waterballoon. Make the mouth slightly smiling.. Enjoy!
