I was inspired to make mine after my son tragically lost a balloon pet (hey, it’s a tragedy when you’re six). It looks just as goofy as the original, Sharpie-drawn features and all.
It is a great idea. I am a professional balloon artist and people always ask me to make them last. Now, at least I know, someone attempted to solve the problem… LOL.. I still have to work on it… But my balloon art is usually more complex and it would take days of making it in fabric sculpture… but it is something to think about…

“Original” in that she came up with it independently, but she wasn’t the first:

Hilarious idea!
Sorry…That’s really ugly.

But true to balloon-animal looks.
