   Tie the nozzles together.
   twist the white balloon in half.
3. Inflate red 260, leave 1" uninflated.
    Two large loops.
4. 3" down from the loops, twist. Twist the knots of the round balloons in here.
5. thread the end of the red balloon through the loops.
6. artwork. two black dots.

* for this model. Use a:
   Blue balloon and no nose - cookie monster (draw the dots for the eyes one high, one low)
   Green balloon with no nose, Kermit.
   Orange balloon, pink nose - Elmo's friend Zoey.
   White balloon, red nose, white eyes - clown.

Switch them around and no one will know.  Or give them to a blind kid... Well, it would work.

Very cool, I realy like the cookie monster.  That little puppet would also make a realy cool line work head.

Sean you do great work I hope I can equal you some day.

The kermit head can be used to make Gary the snail from Sponge Bob.

I bow before your generosity and genius
