Balloon Twister / Face Painter for Kid Party

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Balloon Update Ctrl+V'd from Facebook.

My husband is griping he has no place to sit & watch T.V. Nevermind the 800 balloons behind me. 4, 5, 6 & 8 petal flowers mastered.

Would you mind providing a link for the Hello Kitty video you liked?  I've yet to find one I liked.

In case you haven't already discovered him, this guy's pretty good:

Thanks for the link. Let me get back to you tomorrow with the Hello Kitty. I've been twisting all night. I can barely see straight right now.  :)
 
Nice job with the flowers!  In an effort to maybe get you even more hooked on your new found talent, here's a few I did for Xmas.  ;D

Haha. Two twisters who I had texted days ago just wrote back saying they can both work my party. After all of this... I'm thinking... No thanks! I think I've got it under control.

Oh, my gosh!!! I LOVE it! The candle piece is my favorite. Nice job.

Did you use 160s on all of those? I've been working with 260s and just started with 160s. They seem really handy for bows or pieces with lots of pinch twists.

Thanks!  Yeah, it's amazing what people have figured out to do with balloons nowadays.  The ones in the pic were all 260s.  I think I may've used 160's only once or twice for a couple more intricate designs (I think one of them was for a Snow White).  I also use heart balloons for ladybugs and fish.

Good idea! I am making a list of some special balloons to try next: Alien Heads, Geoblossoms, Eyes, Spider Eyes, Smiley Face, Marvel Comics, Hearts, Stars, and Bee Bodies.

Also, just some plain white rounds. I would have used that for the frog eyes above if I had them but I didn't so, I improved with a 260.

How long have you been twisting, Samuroo?

Princess is on my to-do list. There are some beautiful designs out there that I am determined to master. It will come right after Lightning McQueen. I'll have to see if I can make some to give your girls next time we see each other. There are good designs for all of the Disney princesses including the mermaid.

They will go home with you if they know you are making them :-) I did show everyone (other K-mommies included) the flowers..

Haha. Yes, most of the little people I cross paths with regularly have suddenly become my best friends since I began handing out balloon creations this week.  :)

 
I've probably been twisting for almost a year.  After learning one of the twisters at Rainforest Cafe was self-taught via YouTube, I decided to give it a try for the benefit of my two little girls.  But after a while, the novelty of it wore off for them so I haven't twisted for a couple of months now.  I'd like to get back into it and eventually get fast enough so I won't ever have to hire a twister. ;)
 
Holy cow! Samuroo - that is an awesome costume!! What a lucky little girl she is.  I hadn't thought of doing an entire costume for the kids but I see it is very possible. You're giving me ideas!
