Possibly a little late for this year but I am adding it a little early in case anyone can use the design for this year.
It's the Grim Reaper.

This is what we would be putting into the complimentary packs on all orders for November.
Due to the "World Balloon Shortage" at the moment we will have to add some different colours that we do have in stock.

These are the colours that we have enough product to send out for people to experiment with the design this month.
Hopefully many will have the balloons in their set ups to make in original colours?

Inflate both the White and Black 350's to 6 fingers inflated and tie together.
Then Inflate the Black 260 leaving approx 4 fingers un-inflated and make two 2 finger pinch twists.

The bubble that goes around the head is approx 12 fingers, make this a softish bubble so it sits snugly.

I then centre up the 2 pinch twists underneath the 350's and then lay the 260 around the
head section and twist the 260 back into the two pinch twists

You then need two 5 finger bubbles for the arms that are twisted back into the two pinch twists.

Then make two 6 finger bubbles for part of the cloak section and twist the 260 back into the two pinch twists.

From the 260 you just need the last 6 finger bubble for the last section of the cloak.
Deflate the rest of the 260 and twist into the lower 6 finger bubble section.

Inflate the 160 Mocha about half way and tie this to the end of the 260 Black at the bottom of the cloak.
Push the 160 through the arms.

The handle on the scythe on mine is approx 10 fingers followed by two 1 finger pinch twists.

Inflate the Chrome Silver 260 to about a 6 finger bubble and attach to the pinch twists.
Make a shock twist to give the look of the curve for the blade.
Add artwork and there is your Grim Reaper, hope he is of use to a few.

If anyone would like to help out with the running costs to keep the forum online it would be appreciated.
I have set up a "Buy Me A Coffee" page for those who would like to buy me a coffee or two.
