646 Rosebud
The 646 rosebud is an easy enough shape, but working with the big balloons is trick if you don't do it very often. Just takes a little practice and the result really makes people say "Wow!"

Basic Mermaid
The basic mermaid is fun to customize. I always ask what color hair and swimsuit. Kids can get creative and I've made more than one mermaid with blue or green skin and a pink tail. This one is a little more traditional.

A little turtle with a golden shell. Of course you could use other colors of link o loons, but I like the gold ones.

Peacock Hat
I love the peacock hat because it's big, showy and dances when you walk. It's a very fun hat to make and even more fun to wear.

Basic Helicopter
The helicopter is always a favorite. I like to add sound effect when I'm handing it over. It's one of those things that people often don't see until you're almost finished. I like that, because the look of happy surprise they get when the finally see the sculpture coming together is pretty sweet.

What's better than a balloon dog? A bigger balloon dog! This one is made with 350s or 360s depending on the brand you choose.

Big Cat
This cat makes a big impression, but still goes together quickly. It used 350s or 360s - depending on the brand you choose - for the body along with a bit of scrap for the nose and a round for the muzzle & a 260 for the eyes.

Simple Butterfly
Butterflies are bright, colorful and very popular. Like all butterflies this one starts with caterpillar. The head is tulip tisted, but you can use a pinch twist if you're not comfortable with tulip twists.

Simple Tulip
Tulips are handy shapes to know. I often add one to my bunny or bear. Just a little extra color that makes people smile.
