How to Make Monkey Balloon Animals

Video Transcript

"And now it's time to make some cute little animals again. Well in my last series I made a little animal climbing up a flower. But this time I'm going to make a little mischievous monkey climbing up a palm tree. So I'm going to start with the leaves of the palm tree. You'll see I've left a little space on the nozzle there, now just to tie it together to make a basic circle shape. I'll find the top of the circle and make a figure of eight again. Twist a couple of times, fold it up and press down; and twist it a couple of times. Just squeeze on each side. That makes the effect of the palm tree leaves. Then I'm going to take the actual trunk of the tree and make a little bubble; and just feed that top bubble into the center of the leaves like that. And just straighten it up. If you want to you can go around one time; just for extra security. So, I've already made our little monkeys face. Now we're just going to add it to climbing up that palm tree by giving him a neck, and then just wrapping; wrapping his legs around. And at the base at the bottom leg I'm just going to twist a couple of times. Now I'll bring the rest of the balloon upwards and then down. Straighten him up. He he, there he is. We're going to bring his body down the trunk a little and just do the exactly the same thing. I'm just going to stretch the balloon a little bit, to get the monkeys long tail effect. And wrap it around the trunk one more time. Make a little twist at the base of the body. And carefully we'll feed the tail right the way threw and pull. There's the little monkey. Now let's create that little tail effect that the monkeys have, nice long rounded tail. I've done that by just curling the balloon up, press a little; a little bit. A little bit of pressure on, a little bit of heat. There he is. A little monkey climbing up the palm tree."
