Frog

This little frog looks like a tree frog if you do the colors right.  Or make it in brown for a toad.

Spiral Hat

People love when balloons are spiraled. Putting one on a hat gives the simple helmet instant excitement.

Basic Pig

A cute little piggy that uses a small tulip twist for the nose and a roll through for the head.  

Horse

This is a bigger horse than the basic one.  It takes a little longer and is maybe not the best choice for line work, but it's a great party balloon.  This one is a regular brown horse, but I think about half of the ones I make when working are pink and purple.  :-)

Cocker Spaniel

This cute dog is made using the blush hearts from Qualatex.  It's big cuddly balloon dog that takes a bit of practice to get fast at it, but can be done in less than 3 minutes with enough practice.  3 minutes being my standard for line work.

Teddy Bear

The basic and much loved Teddy Bear.  Make it on it's own, give it some flowers or maybe a heart - or put it in a heart.  It's a classic that never gets old.  One of the basics that everyone should know.

Basic Balloon Dog

Like the six petal flower, this dog is a little harder than the 3 fold dog, but the result more than makes up for it with cuteness!

3 Fold Dog

The simplest dog.  Not the most attractive, but good for when you're first getting a feel for twisting balloons.

Balloon Saber

A different sword with  more of a pirate look
