Subject: Monkey Hat

I just got an idea (if nobody else has already come up with it, and I'm just remembering it from the lost clutter of my mind) for a monkey hat!

I haven't made it yet, so I'm just imagining it right now.

The basic hat has a tail at the end of it. Imagine that as the head of the monkey.

1) Make your favorite monkey head. Wrap the rest of the balloon around your victims head, with a twist in the middle. The middle twist makes it look like two arms instead of one long one.

2) And a second balloon connected to the hat at the base of the head. This balloon will be the body and tail. Curve the end up for the tail.

3) Add a third balloon (at its center) a few inches down the body to make the legs allow them go wherever you want. Maybe as if the monkey was sitting on your shoulders and hanging on to your head. Or maybe going back as if the monkey were hanging on for dear life.

This hat could be easily be adapted to other characters also. Have fun!!


As a side note: that gospel book was probably from Ralph Dewey.
