i've posted this before, is there a way to store it in the archives

my monkey in a coconut tree

it takes 3 balloons
blue/monkey
orange/trunk, coconuts
green/ tree top

start by inflating the orange all but 3"

then inflate the blue all but 2"?

the monkey is a one inch bubble / mouth
followed by a small teddy bear ear twist / one ear
one inch bubble / head
small teddy bear ear twist / second ear
twist the join between the mouth and first ear with the joint between the 
second ear and remainder of balloon
cleanup by also wrapping the nozzle around last twist as well
one inch bubble for neck
make the front legs like a french poodle and wrap them around the orange 
balloon/tree trunk  this should be attached 6"? up from the nozzle end

finish the monkey with a 2" bubble and two 3" bubbles for back legs
curl the tail

inflate the green balloon all but 3"
make four fold twists in various sizes

place the tree top about 6" down the orange balloon (end opposite the 
nozzle)

the orange balloon left over between the tree top and balloon end twist into 
1.5" bubbles
then wrap them around under the leaves and secure

hope this helps
