Loomigurumi Balloon Dog Tutorial (Rainbowloom)

Balloon Dog design by Giannas_Looms on Instagram. Thank you so much Gianna for letting me make the tutorial I just saw this design and thought it was so cute. It's fairly easy to make as well just a little time consuming and there's a lot of attaching. I am so tempted to make a smaller one of these. Wouldn't it be so cute? I give myself a few days before I cave and make a tiny one. I have been enjoying making a few bigger things they are just so fun because they are HUGE compared to my designs. Anyways I hope you guys like this tutorial and don't forget to tag us if you make one :D

Hold 2 long pieces next to each other then just slip knot the top and bottom parts together. Repeat this 2 more times. These will be the legs and the ears
Get a leg piece and the long bit (Make sure the leg is where you want it. You should be tying it to the end of the long bit) Now we are going to stitch these two pieces together by stitching around them 5 times. (we grab part of the leg and part of the long bit when we stitch) Tie off when you are done. Repeat on other side for other leg
for the ears we will tie them to the head doing the same thing.
For the rest of the parts we will tie together by doing the stitch around 5 times thing (I would Slip knot the head, neck and tail on. I thinks it just looks better because you can see when we do the stitch around thing. it looks fine for the legs and ears but I don't like how it looks dor the rest. It's just preference and the other way is studier.)
