How to Make Money Making Balloon Animals

Making balloon animals is not only fun, but it can also be financially rewarding. You don't have to be a professional clown or lifelong jokester to make large profits off of party balloon animals. In fact, all you need is a bit of creativity and the ability to relate to children and you're on your way. Practice making your creatures, donate a little of your time and network to start making money by creating balloon animals.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Pack of animal creation balloons
• Balloon air pump
• Business cards
• Telephone

1. Go to the library and check out books on creating balloon animals. It's as simple as that. Balloon animal creation is so easy, children can make most of them.

2. Purchase your supplies. All you need are some quality animal creation balloons and perhaps an air pump. There are special air pumps made for balloons. You can skip this product, but you might become lightheaded if you blow up too many balloons.

3. Practice on several hundred balloons before you offer your services for a fee and begin to make money. Perfect about 10 different animals. You will go through several packs of balloons, but it's no big deal because they are so cheap.

4. Volunteer your balloon creation services at the local library. Most libraries have a children's story hour. If you give the children a free demonstration, they might tell their teachers, parents and other friends. Let them know you are available for birthday parties and celebrations. This is when you really begin to make money.

5. Hand out your business card to teachers, librarians and parents. Parents want to have birthday parties at home, but most don't know what to do for entertainment. Making balloon animals provides the kids with entertainment while you make money.

6. Make a balloon flower bouquet and give it to your waitress when you go out to eat. This is great for advertisement and sales. The flower bouquets are so flashy and large, you will attract a lot of attention and could have the opportunity to sell more balloon bouquets to other restaurant guests. You might make up to $25 a piece. Now that's an easy way to make money.

Tips & Warnings

• Donate your practice balloon animals to a local children's hospital or women's shelter.
• Warn the children at the party that you will probably pop at least one balloon during your demonstration.
