Can I Make a Better Ladybug Balloon? 🐞 | Designing a Balloon Animal From Scratch

Holly the Twister Sister Guide 1 months ago

Description

What happens when I decide I need a brand-new ladybug balloon design…and turn the camera on BEFORE I figure it out? 😂🐞

This week, you're coming along for the whole creative process as I design a new ladybug balloon animal from scratch!

My old ladybug design used a heart-shaped balloon, and while I loved the result, specialty shapes aren't always easy to find — and they're not necessarily something working balloon artists already have in their bags. So I gave myself a challenge: could I create an adorable ladybug using simple balloons that artists are much more likely to already carry?

The answer: YES! ❤️🖤

And even though this isn't one of my usual polished, practiced-a-million-times tutorials, the finished design is totally followable if you'd like to make one along with me.

You'll need:
🎈 3 black 360 balloons
🎈 1 red 360 balloon
🎈 1 white 5" round balloon
✂️ Scissors
🖊️ Black marker
💨 Balloon pump

There aren't any difficult techniques in this one, so it's approachable for newer balloon twisters — but the finished ladybug is cute and impressive enough for seasoned entertainers to add to their repertoire too!
