This happy looking fellow can be found in my favorite themepark, The Efteling.
Balloons needed:
2 × 260Q red | 2 × 260Q yellow | 1 × 260Q pink | 1 × 260Q black | 1 × 350Q red | 1 × 321Q pink | 1 × 5" round white
-
1 Inflate the tip of a yellow 260Q, and tie to an inflated red 260Q.
-
2 Using a balloon straw, make a deep hook twist so the yellow tip is marriage twisted to the red 260Q.
-
3 Repeat this and lock the 2 red 260Q's together, be sure to catch the knots from the hook twist in the lock.
-
4 Drop a little raisin inside a pink 321Q and inflate.
-
5 Inflate the tip of a red 350Q for the nose.
-
6 Grab the raisin and tie the nose to it.
-
7 Under inflate the white 5" round and split in half.
-
8 And attach at the nose.
-
9 From a black 260Q make 2 loop twists and a pinch twist for shoes.
-
10 Take the top of the pink 321Q and tie to the spot where the 2 red 260Q's are locked.
-
11 Take the tip of the 321Q and lock it together with the 2 red 260Q's.
-
12 Like this.
-
13 From the remainder of the red 260Q's make a 4 bubble body. Taking 2 bubbles from each red balloon.
-
14 And tie/lock together. If you got any red balloon remaining, deflate and tie off.
-
15 With the peace of red 350Q you got left, tie a loop around the hooktwists so that they are aligned together. Shape the hook twists like you see on the picture.
-
16 From the pink 260Q make these hands. They are a bubble, followed by a 2 bubble locktwist and a pinch twist. The peace between the 2 hands is about 4 inch wide. Jokie has no arms and no legs so the hands just have to stick just outside the body.
-
17 Insert the hands between the body and insert the feet at the bottom of the body.
-
18 Draw on features and there he is, ready to spread fun around the world!
