How to Make a Turtle Balloon Animal

By , About.com Guide

1 of 10

Here's a turtle balloon that you can make that's complete with its shell.

Before you attempt to twist a turtle balloon animal, I strongly suggest that you master basic balloons such as the dog balloon. The turtle balloon animal is a relatively advanced balloon animal and you’ll have to experiment to get the proportions just right as the sculpture is rather unforgiving when you don’t estimate the lengths correctly.

Necessary Skills:
basic twist
pinch twist

Materials:
One 260 Balloon
