Wiener Dog Balloon

You can be top dog among your friends once you master the wiener dog balloon.

You can make the wiener dog balloon's body as short or as long as you'd like.

Step 1: Inflate a balloon, leaving a four-inch tail. Pinch and twist a four-inch bubble and two 2-inch bubbles.

Step 2: Hold the two 2-inch bubbles together and twist-lock.

Gently squeeze the four-inch bubble to make it squishy.

Step 3: Give the knot a slight tug while gently squeezing the four-inch bubble (as shown) just enough to lengthen that bubble and make it squishy.

Bring up the squishy bubble over the twist-locked bubbles.

Step 4: Bring the squishy bubble up and over the twist-locked bubbles while gently pulling them open, as shown.

Step 5: Pull the tip of the squishy balloon down so it will pinch in between the twist-locked bubbles when released. If the nose pops up, keep at it. This is a difficult procedure.

Step 6: Pinch and twist three round bubbles. Hold the second and third bubbles together and twist-lock.

Step 7: Decide on the length of your wiener dog. Pinch and twist three round bubbles.

Step 8: Hold the second and third bubbles together and twist-lock.
