Thanks for the complements guys my little sister loved it and It was fun jumping on my dads head and pretending to eat him. Tehe  Cheesy

@ Blue Sorry blue , but I can't teach you how to make this for 3 reasons.

1) I bought an online video on how to make this mask and many others from a top balloonist who gave explicate instructions not to share their work without consent. I could, but that would be stealing from the original artist of this design who does this for a living.  Undecided   You can buy the instructions here http://www.balloon-animals.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=26&osCsid=a775b157a3ef1bab2cdf63b0d40b40a7

2) Making this mask is fairly hard and trying to attempt this mask as a novice.... well things would turn messy real quick. Lot of popped balloons and alot of money down the drain.

3) The amount of money you have to spend on balloons to make this mask add up quick. The total amount I had to spend on balloons for this mask was at-least 35 bucks and that is if you don't pop a lot of them or all of them while making it. If you did it would be even more.  Shocked  So most people aren't really willing to spend that amount on a balloon.

So I understand your excitement, but lets start with baby steps. If you want to get started here's my recommendation.
1) Buy this basic balloon kit. http://www.birthdayinabox.com/party-supplies/crafts-and-games/crafts-and-activities/balloon-animals-kit-BB004233.html?code=googlepla&s_kwcid=PTC!pla!!!18283950120!g!!17222349323&utm_source=GoogleBase&source=productlistings&id=18283950120&CAWELAID=1503466750&catargetid=1798071330&%22cagpspn=pla%22&gclid=CJHQ1caCkbcCFYyi4Aod0Q8ALg
You should be able to get it at walmart in the party supply section or any local party supply store. The kit will come with instructions on how to make 6-8 basic balloon animals which will teach you the fundamental steps of ballooning. Use all the balloons in the kit so you get a feel for twisting  balloons.  

2) Go to this website, best price on quality twisting balloons.
https://www.bargainballoons.com/10browse.asp?Category=260Q+Latex+Balloons&Page=1&Display=High
Buy a pack of the 260Q Character Assorted Twisting Animal Balloons 100count and the 260Q Carnival Assorted Twisting Animal Balloons 100count and buy the green balloon pump at the bottom of the page.

3) when you receive you balloons practice the basic balloon animals that came with your old kit a few more times and then go to youtube and check out all the free balloon videos on youtube.
Here one of my favorites.  Smiley

4) Give your balloon creations to your daughter and watch the smiles pour right in.  Cheesy
