MARY AND JOSEPH

(You will need two 260's, the same color, white or flesh tone. Make sure they are the same color as the baby Jesus. Both Mary and Joseph will have the same basic balloon body. The facial features that you draw and the hairstyles will differentiate the two.)

Step 1:

Inflate 260, leaving a 6-inch tail and tie off.

Step 2:

Twist 3 one-inch bubbles. Ear-twist the 2nd and 3rd bubble and arrange them to form the neck.

Step 3:

Twist 2 three-inch bubbles and lock-twist together. Twist another three-inch bubble and do a rollover twist with the other two.

Step 4:

Twist 1 two-inch bubble, 2 one-inch bubbles, and 1 two-inch bubble. Lock-twist the two-inch bubbles together.

Step 5:

Twist 2 half-inch bubbles and ear-twist them. Arrange them on either side of the waist of the figure. Pop/tear off the remaining balloon.

This is the body of Mary and Joseph. The next section will describe how to put hair on Mary and facial features on both.

MARY AND JOSEPH (PART II)
