Rudolph The Reindeer

By Magic George

 

 

Blow up a beige, brown or white 260 leaving a few inches deflated. Start by making a 4" lock twist. This is help in place by the nozzle.
Twist a 3 " bubble then a pinch twist.

Make another pinch twist then twist another 3" bubble back to the starting point.

The body of the reindeer is a standard dog's body made from a pair of lock twists.

The antlers are made from a 160 by following the bubble diagram above.
The antlers are twisted at the centre (x marks the spot on the bubble diagram) and are twisted in between the 2 pinch twists on the 260
A bubble is made from a scrap of a red 260. The 2 ends are tied together to give the nose a pinched shape.
The nose is placed at the front of the lock twist as so. Some of the excess deflated balloon is pulled through to form a tongue.

Draw on eyes, whiskers and a mouth.

Hopefully, a lot better than I can!
