Hi welcome back.

On this video, you are going to learn one of my all time favorite balloons out of one balloon.

We are going to do the teddy bear. Teddy bear is very, very cute, very recognizable and creates smiles anywhere you use it. Really easy, really simple, what you need is inflating the balloon leaving a tail of about five or six inches. That depends on the size. By exercising and practicing, you will kind of know and figure out how much air to leave, but now, the tail to leave on at the end. Now, to do the teddy bear, we are going to start with a series of bubbles.
We will start off with a medium size bubble, followed by small bubble, followed by a medium size bubble. Now, I remind you have to hold on to the first bubble using your fingers. Small bubble, the small one is about half an inch. Medium ones are about inch and a half. It depends on what you like.
Medium size, small size, medium size, now, what you have is a series of seven bubbles. The bubbles are medium, small, medium, small, and medium, small, medium. Now, what we are going to do is take the last five and twist them, lock them together to form a circle. Now, you take the first bubble insert that into the loop that we created using the five bubbles and hold that into place.
Now, we are going to do the teddy bears ears. Now, remember the pinch twist we showed at that the key to basic techniques. We are going to use the same pinch twist to create the ears. The pinch twist is also called ear twist. Take your index finger, pull that behind the bubble, tag on it, squeeze it and turn it. Do those maybe two times to lock it into place. Now you could put up like this or like this, that depends on the shape you want to make.
We will do the same thing to the second ear. Index finger behind the bubble, pull it and twist it. That creates the teddy bear head, really cute, really simple. Now we are going to do the body and the arms. What I like to do is do all of that in one sequence of bubbles. Start off with a small bubble maybe half an inch followed by one inch, half inch, one inch, one inch, half inch, and one inch. That creates series of bubbles medium, small, medium, medium, small, medium. You lock, twist thee last six bubbles to form this kind of loop.
And then, what you are going to do is at the middle part, you twist three bubbles, and three bubbles like this. And that will create two arms for the teddy bear. You can also do that by creating a three-bubble sequence locking it and another three-bubble sequence and locking it.
I kind of like this. It makes a really stable, nice looking design. Now we are going to do the hands. The hands are again the pinch twist. We have small bubbles at each end. We are going to pull them and twist them. That creates the hands.
Now, what we have left is the belly and the feet. Belly is a small bubble. Now, to create the feet, I am going to show you a new trick how to create two bubbles at the same length without creating the second one. Now, we want to use all the balloons that we have left and split that into two bubbles in a tail. So, you do not split it exactly in half just slightly smaller. Try to make it a little bigger than the hands.
That is about a two inch bubble. Now, as you can see we have medium bubble and a slightly larger bubble. Now, instead of creating another bubble here, I just fold that and now, like we did in loop twist I am holding firmly to the point I want to twist it and I am twisting both balloons to create the equal feet legs of the teddy bear.
That is it, the teddy bear. Now if you want to add some details, you can use a sharpie to create the eyes or mouth or even belly button if you really want to make it super cute. And that is the teddy bear.
