I've had a bit of demand recently for personalised football players using the basic Lootle design. I actually didn't think they were that good but so many people are asking for them for football awards, birthdays etc. I am charging £10 each for a wrapped up one. They take around 15mins each.

For the Arsenal one I printed off the club logo and stuck it on the shirt.

You should give them a try!

Should the lower leg be in red for Arsenal Darren to look like the sock? That is if they wear red socks?

Yes Graham you are right but when I added another balloon as a sock I found the model lost it's stability and didn't stand up very well. I tried to join with a double pinch twist and a tulip twist. Something to work on but the customer is over the moon and without a sock it increases my profit margin by 3p  :lol:

Just Googled it and they play in white so the shorts and legs would blend into one, maybe some artistic licence and do red socks?

These are so great. Wow.

Use the red for the lower leg but tie the nozles together and then use two pinch twists in blush for the knee caps.

Thank you, loved them and so good to know.  I am going to make them and see how they go.  Thank you for the advice!

They look fab Darren. I do a lot of football ones and I don't do socks either as they are less stable. No-ones ever complained love the cellophane wrap - looks good
