Owl made of balls: how to assemble a figurine, where to start and how many balls you need

Many holiday organizing agencies offer to decorate the event with balloon toys. This decoration really looks original. Each ball is firmly connected to neighboring elements, so the decorations do not fall apart. Masters have learned to create real masterpieces from balloons. One of these are owls. There are many ways to make an owl out of balloons. But in any case, you will need special modeling balls or balls, as the professionals call them.

Ball weaving techniques

There are three main methods of weaving from SDM:

1. BASIC. The ball is scrolled, focusing on the conditional axis, dividing it into separate elements. Each of them should not exceed the diameter of the ball in length. Then the product is bent, and the small part goes to the opposite side in relation to the rest. It is pulled back a little and twisted again. The result is a bubble resembling a loop.
2. Tulip. The knot is pressed into the middle of the ball, twisted, and remains inside.The result is a figure similar to a tulip, which explains its name.
3. Pinch. The technique allows you to fix the bubbles on one ball. Their position relative to each other is preserved, forming a specific figure.

How to make an owl from balloons

To work we will need modeling balls:

1. 3 pieces of coffee color 260. The 260 indicator is used to determine the parameters of the ball. 2 inches is the diameter, 60 inches is the length.
2. 1 white 360.
3. 1 yellow 160.
4. 1 black 160.
5. 2 yellow 260.

And one white ball with a diameter of five inches or 13 centimeters. The BASIC method is used for work. Basic manufacturing principles: how to make an owl from balloons:

• All modeling balloons must not be fully inflated. Depending on what part of the toy is being made, it is necessary to leave a certain number of centimeters.
• When forming parts, a certain length of each element is set aside. To fix this length, you just need to twist the ball several times. There is no need to tie a knot.
• Modeling balls are made of latex, so you should not be afraid that they will burst during operation.

• The owl made from balls will turn out to be more voluminous if, after completing work on the body, you straighten all its parts from the inside. In total, you will need three modeling balls for the body.
• The ends of the balls from the remaining parts can also be hidden in the middle of the body so that they are not conspicuous.
• After the body, a yellow nose is attached to the toy, then we make eyes and also attach it to the body with a tail.
• The next detail is the eyebrows. They are made from one ball and are wrapped around already attached eyes.
• The owl made from balloons will have yellow paws.We twist the yellow ball several times and attach the paws to the product.
• All that remains is to insert a black ball into the toy’s paws and you get a beautiful owl with a ball.

To make the owl even more realistic, draw pupils on the yellow balls of the eyes with a black marker. We get an excellent carnival, holiday accessory that will surely delight both adults and children.
