| To create the
cat's head:
Create a 5-balloon cluster using 5" white balloons inflated
to 3" (cluster 1).
Create a 5-balloon cluster, 2 x 6" Hearts inflated to 5.5",
2 x 6" Hearts inflated to 4", and 1 x 5" white to
4.5", this is an unusual cluster and you need to position the
balloons carefully, see picture (cluster 2).
Create a 5-balloon cluster using 5" Animal printed latex inflated
to 3" or smaller (cluster 3). Starting with cluster 1, add
cluster 2, then cluster 3, these can be secured together using Dacron
line. Inflate the last 5" black but only make a very small
bubble, tie the balloon on the twist of the bubble so that it remains
tight. This is the cat's nose and can be added to the center of
the last cluster. Using the 2 remaining 5" white balloons,
once again make small bubbles with these, approx. 1" and tie
these together at the very end of the neck so that there's a good
stretch between the balloons. Slide this duplet from the base of
the last cluster so it hooks in and position the eyes as in the
photo. Use a black pen to draw on the eyeballs.
