Balloon Chit Chat / Balloon show
December 19, 2014, 07:39:36 PM
Hi guys. i am doing my first ever balloon show tomorrow. it was a last minute change due to venue problems.
My plan is to get a Victim from the Audience and build a balloon around them.

so the theme s frozen so i will get a little girl that is already dresses as else and add a balloon wand,cape and wig with long plated hair. then maybe take a boy and add a sword shield helmet ect.  i may even add a wearable Rudolph. depending on the time of the show as they are having a sing along frozen event.  

Any last minute hint and tips from you guys

It was hard to Decide what to make so though i would go for something, i would use as a delivery piece or for the birthday boy or girl. Hopefully this one might get the Deco-twister's involved. Good luck and Happy Twisting

Here is my Pepper Pig. it uses 3 balloons 1 red 260 1 pink 260 and a pink heart. you could also use purple if its peppers bed time  or use blue or green and don't but the ears/bow on top and then call him George. so enjoy the side wall bubbles  and remember not to over inflate the heart

thanks I hope you all enjoy making her

Hi all, Sorry for the delay, busy bank holiday weekend.

I Have done a 1 balloon dog with it being a short week and hopefully more people will add a picture. It does not matter what colour you use. I used red as funny enough its one of the most popular colours asked for at the restaurant that I twist at.

Looking forward to see all your designs and will pick a winner on Sunday

Part 2

Funny Story:
I was making balloons at a festival and it was getting late on and some lads were a bit worse for wear and for a laugh one lad asked me for a balloon wand with a double heart on top.
My last 20 balloons had been wands and i thought i would have a bit fun.  I took out a 5" round and heart and blew op the round and made it very obvious that i was rolling this around my hands and pitching the side. i said something like it needs a bit more air.
I went to add more air but instead let the air out of the round and blow up the heart.  I will never forget the reaction by one of the lads it was like a reaction you would see from dynamo.
I did not have the heart to tell him i switched the round.

Sad Story
I pr-made a balloon Zoo for a friend of a friend and they came to collect with their 2 or 3 year old and though nothing of it 2 hours later the dad was knocking on the door the kid was sobbing his little heart out.  The dad was putting him to bed and stood on the monkeys tail and bang went the balloon. I quickly made a replacement and the dad was the hero again as he had got a new balloon.

Marketing Tip
I don't Really have any tips as i am just starting out, what i have done is just do as many jobs as possible regardless of what they were paying or i had to pay to trade just to get some reputation built up.  Also to try and make anything the customer wanted.

Joke
I don't tell jokes but just talk to kids and be a bit silly when the balloon farts then blame them or try and get the boys to have a pink balloon or pretend i miss heard what they asked for.
