To twist, hold balloon with one hand, pinch, and rotate the balloon with other hand using fingers (not wrist.)
Twist all bubbles in same direction. (Otherwise they will come undone.)
Basic twists – Lock twist, Loop (or fold) twist, pinch (or ear) twist.
Common balloon sizes – 260, 160, 350/360
 

Basic Dog One 260 Lock twists (or loop twists.) By varying shape and length of neck/legs/ears/tail, you can make other four-legged animals.
Sword One 260 Inflate to about 1 inch left (depending on number of twists in sword.) For a basic pirate’s sword, inflate to half an inch left, make small bubble, then a loop twist, and pull sword through.
