Put an stick inside an 11" round
(hair colour) and ease this
round inside an 11" blush.
Remove the stick and put four
raisins (or alternative) inside
the inner balloon. Inflate the
inner balloon and clamp shut.
Make a small blush bubble and
tie the ends together. Remove
any surplus balloon. Put this
bubble and a raisin knot inside
the blush 11" balloon.
Catch hold of the raisin
knots through the balloon
at regular intervals and tie
into place with a scrap.
Insert the end of a 260 into the
neck of the blush 11" round and
inflate it to make a neck.
I am using brown balloons for
the hair, so.....
Tie a brown scrap around
the raisin knot at the back
of the head.
Bring one of the brown 160
bubbles back up to the front
and then back down again to
form three hair bubbles.
Repeat on the opposite side
with the other balloon.
Now you need to use the 160
balloon that you inserted into
the round balloon. Bring it
down between the two sets of
three bubbles. I have used a
darker brown so you can see it.
Twist it in with the others.
Bring the two joined balloons
down on either side of the head
to the back. Twist them
together wrapping the scrap in
to secure the hair into place
without stressing the round
balloon.
Braid the hair. Take the outer left
balloon over the middle balloon and
then the right out balloon over the
middle. Continue on, left over
middle and then right over middle
till you run out of balloon.
Tie the neck onto the top of
the body.
If you want longer hair:
I have looped the braided hair
here and also added a balloon
with water inside to help her to
stand up.
The hair on this lady in red has
been done in the same way but
this time I just too one balloon
down the back.
