The main thing is to master a few simple rules, and then gifts from balloons, bouquets of flowers and animal figures will be obtained from you in a couple of seconds.

Secrets of twisting

Balls for modeling

Balls, designed for twisting, are made of latex. It is a natural natural material that does not cause allergies. And one more important quality is elasticity. Work with quality latex balls - a real pleasure, because they are durable and pleasant to the touch.

We inflate the ball

To create a figurine of balls, they do not need to be inflated to the end. The size of the tail left will be determined by the number of twists and the future product itself. Typically, the instructions for twisting a particular figure indicate how long it is necessary to leave the tail. When you have inflated the ball, you need to release some air. This will make it softer.

Twisting

When creating a figurine from balls, the tail left is of great importance, because it is the air that moves during the twisting. Before each twisting it is necessary several times to squeeze the hand where the loop will be made to move the air. If you forget to do this or there is not enough room for air in the tail, the ball will simply burst. You have to start the figure from the side of the knot.

Make a dog from a ball

The dog is one of the simplest, but very beautiful figurines, which can be created by twisting technique. Determine the size of each section: 8 cm will go to the nose, 17 cm to the ears, 4 cm - neck, 20 cm - front legs, 11 cm - trunk, another 20 cm - hind legs, and the remaining space will go to the tail of the dog. Pulling the ball, you need to leave the tail about 5 cm.

The first twist at a distance of 8 cm from the nodule will become a spout of the dog. Then the ears curl. They need to be folded in half and twisted around themselves two or three times. The muzzle is ready. We also twist the remaining parts with the same actions. Depending on your wishes, the sizes can be adjusted, for example, if the neck is made long, you will have a wonderful giraffe, and a long spout turns the dog into a charming elephant.

Flowers from balls

You probably have seen a lot of flowers or a bouquet of balloons. In fact, it is very easy to make such figures. We inflate the ball, leaving a small tail, then we bind the bundle and the tail together to form a vicious circle. After that, we connect the opposite sides and twist them several times so that the result is a figure eight. Now we also connect the centers of the obtained petals and twist them. The first flower is ready. Similarly we make other flowers for the bouquet. Stems are made from a simple green long ball, which is twisted with the head of the flower. If desired, you can twist the simple leaves.
