Sorry this is a bit late this month but we've been away having a lot of fun at "The Millennium Jam"
So here is this months challenge, a hat parody of sponge bob;

Here's mine,

Oops forgot the arms, also the brown thing at the back is to go round someones head.

Here is my sponge bob;

Greetings to all  http://www.magicballon.it

Hi All. This is my attempt..












TwIsT On

So to make Bob;


Inflate a yellow 260 leaving approx 6 fingers un-inflated.
Twist a 4 finger bubble then a 1 finger pinch twist.
Twist another 4 finger bubble for the top of the side of the head & then another 1 finger pinch twist.

You need an 8 finger bubble for the top of head with a 1 finger pinch twist, another 4 finger bubble followed by a 1 finger pinch twist.
Now to come across the centre of the face twist two 4 finger bubbles & twist into the very first pinch twist. You then need to come back across the centre of the face with a 4 finger bubble & twist this around where the nose & eye will attach later.
Twist another 4 finger bubble into the side of the head pinch twist.
You will probably need to let some air out of the remainder of the balloon to get your last 4 finger bubble.

You may find it easier to use two balloons to make the head above, if so use the first balloon to make the outer head & the second to make the nose & centre of the head for the nose & eye attachment point.

With a white 260 inflate about half way & twist two 1 finger pinch twists & attach the yellow side of head to this.
Twist two more 4 finger bubbles & then two 1 finger pinch twists, discard the rest of the balloon for later to make the eyes & teeth. Attach the other side of the head to the second white pinch twists.

You can use either a 160 or 260 red for the tie. Twist a 1 finger pinch twist & then a 6 finger fold twist & attach to the centre twist of the white 260.

Re-inflate the rest of the white 260 making two 3 finger bubbles for the eyes & two 2 finger bubbles for his teeth then attach to the centre point of his head.

Using the end of another yellow 260 inflate with a 5 finger bubble for the nose with a 1 finger pinch twist, this is attached at the back of the eyes & teeth & helps everything to sit correctly. He should end up with a nose of about 4/5 fingers long.

The hat band is a chocolate brown 260 leaving 3 fingers un-inflated.
Twist a 1 finger bubble around the two white pinch twists, make sure to leave the knot end free to connect around the brown pinch twist that we will make next.
So make another 1 finger bubble & then a 1 finger pinch twist, attach the knot end of the brown balloon here. This is so there are two 1 finger bubbles supporting the head of Bob, making a firmer attachment point so that his head is more solid when worn.
Make an 8 finger bubble & lay behind the tie with a 1 finger pinch twist then a 1 finger bubble wrapped around the two white pinch twists followed by another 1 finger bubble twisted around the brown pinch twist. Measure around the persons head who is going to wear the hat & wrap around the first brown pinch twist made & discard the rest of the balloon.

Inflate a yellow 160 to approx 5 fingers un-inflated, do a 1 finger bubble followed by a 4 finger loop twist. The arms are approx 8 fingers long & wrap around the two white pinch twists. Make a 4 finger bubble & wrap around the pinch twist of the tie, twist another 4 finger bubble to wrap around the other two white pinch twists followed by the other 8 finger bubble for the arm a 4 finger loop twist & then the last 1 finger bubble, discard the rest of the 160.

The legs are just two white 260 with a puff of air inside & tied.
The feet are two 1 finger pinch twists with a 6 finger fold for the shoes, repeat for the other foot & attach to the legs.

Add artwork & hopefully voila!!!!

If you've been able to follow these instructions? well done  If not let me know & I'll try & help out some more for you.
