What You'll Need:
- Latex balloons in various sizes (white, black, brown, and yellow are ideal)
- Double-sided tape
- Scissors
- Black permanent marker
- Dog-shaped nose template (downloadable from our website)
- Optional: Small pom-poms, glitter, or any other decorative items
Step 1: Create the Dog's Body
Start by inflating a large balloon until it's about the size of your dog's chest. Tie a knot at the end of the balloon to secure its shape. Next, cut the balloon in half, leaving about 1.5 inches of the base attached to create the head.
For the dog's body, stretch the remaining half of the balloon down to create a long, slender shape. Secure the base with double-sided tape to prevent it from popping. Adjust the length as needed to fit your dog's body.
Step 2: Shape the Dog's Head
Take a second balloon and inflate it until it's about the size of your dog's head. Tie a knot at the end and cut the balloon in half, leaving the base attached. Flatten the balloon by pressing it against a flat surface, creating a round shape.
To create the ears, cut two small triangles from the flat balloon. Attach the triangles to the top of the head with double-sided tape. Add a small piece of double-sided tape to the inside of the ears to secure them in place.
For the eyes, draw two black circles on the flat balloon with a permanent marker. Cut out the circles and attach them to the head with double-sided tape. Now, you have a cute, cartoonish dog head!
Step 3: Assemble the Dog
To attach the head to the body, place the head where you want it on the body and secure it with a piece of double-sided tape. Make sure the head is positioned so that the ears are on the sides and the eyes are facing forward.
Next, cut a small piece of balloon and stretch it to create a neck. Attach the neck to the head with double-sided tape and then attach the neck to the body.
Step 4: Add Decorative Touches
Now it's time to make your balloon dog extra special! Add a dog-shaped nose using our downloadable template or create your own. Attach the nose to the face with double-sided tape. For extra flair, add small pom-poms for the paws, glitter, or any other decorations you like.
Step 5: Present Your Balloon Dog
