Here's a little quick and easy basket of flowers I make in restaurants. You need four or five 260s and one 321 "Bee body". Inflate one 260, leaving about a 1in. tail. Make a very small bubble (about 1/2 in.) and two bubbles about 8in. each. Bend the second 8 in. bubble back beside the first, then connect the two by twisting the small bubble between the 2nd 8 in.bubble and the rest of the balloon. Make another 1/2 in. balloon at the very end of the balloon and tie it between the two 8 in. bubbles opposite the first small bubble. Take the remaining 260s, inflate each about 1-11/2 in. and using a tulip/apple twist, make one bubble on each balloon. Inflate the 321 not quite to the black tip, then wrap the knot of the 321 around all the flower stems about half way. Push the knot into the 321 with one finger till you can grasp it with the other hand and twist it several times. Now push the tail of the 321 into the body. Finally, place the 321 construction between the two 8 in. sections of the first 260. Ta Da!
Good luck.
