12th August - Simple Aeroplane

I am often asked to make planes and this is a rather simple and very quick plane I make, it is made from 3 balloons (4 if you include the clear one that) and if your in a real rush you can leave off the propeller and make it even faster but I don't like to do that too often.

9th August - Water on the Brain

Here is a fishy on a hairband blowing bubbles (the fish is blowing bubbles, not the hairband), He is made from 5 balloons, I wanted the base to be 2 colours but I could have made that out of just 1 balloon if need. You can keep up to date with all the latest news and sculptures by heading over to Facebook -www.facebook.com/mydailyballoon and hitting the 'like' button, then feel free to share it with your friends.

31st July - Jet Plane

I am away for a few days in Wales and I saw one of these fly over head yesterday, it's a jet plane, made from 2 x 260s for the plane and another clear balloon for the base and cockpit.

29th June - Spongebob Squarepants

I didn't do a film Friday this week because it was Dom's birthday, so instead I am doing a celebrity Saturday, Its Spongebob Squarepants with his tennis racket for Wimbledon.

I recently learnt how to make an awesome Spongebob while on a balloon event this week, Robbie Furman had a brilliant and quick Spongebob, I wanted to change a few things and add a few bits so I changed the design a little and came up with this.

I think he is made from 16 balloons. You can keep up to date with all the latest news and sculptures by heading over to Facebook -www.facebook.com/mydailyballoon and hitting the 'like' button.

21st June - Gru - Despicable Me

Its film Friday again, I didnt have one last week as I was in Cornwall, however I did Captain Barnacles from the Octonauts the other day so he made up for it.

This week we have Gru from Despicable Me, as you can see he has his latest gun invention with him, lets call it the balloononitator. Gru and his gun are made from 18 balloons, mainly black 260s for the body, some 160s for parts of the gun and arms and legs, he has a round balloon for his head and there is a 350 in there somewhere too.

20th June - Pharmacist Joe

Its Joe's birthday today and I have made him into a balloon, he is a pharmacist and this is exactly what I think he looks like when he wanders the wards. He has his syringe of insulin and that is a pink handkerchief in his pocket, its most defiantly NOT his phone, I have also given him a bow tie because bow ties are cool and I think Joe should wear a bow tie.

Balloon Joe is made from about 15 balloons, mainly 260s but there is a 350 for his body and a 160 for his bow tie, his syringe is made from an orange balloon inside a clear balloon.

19th April - Whale

I make this whale quite often at various parties, he seems to be quite popular, he is made from 7 balloons, this includes the base which makes him self standing, when I make him at parties I usually only use 5 balloons.

I start with 2 x 350 balloons then add in the fins which are a 260, next I add the water spout which is made from 2 x white 260s and finally the base is added from a 260 and a 350. There is another secret ingredient which makes him self standing but I will let you work that out for yourselves.

"Thar she blows Captain"

7th April - Dragonfly

After making yesterdays scorpion I was in the mood for another insect, a dragonfly made from 8 balloons.

I started with his main body and added in the tail, then I added the eyes which are made from a heart shaped balloon, next come the black ridges down the body from a 160 and the wings from a 260, finally I added in the legs from 3 x 160s.
