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