Balloons that professional clowns and party entertainers use are made of Qualatex, which is 100 percent natural latex. Pencil balloons, which are 2 inches wide and 60 inches long, are the most commonly used type to make animals and other shapes. If you are new to making balloon shapes, there are several kits available to help.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Go to your local party supply store, which often has clown supplies. Or ask party entertainers or clowns where they purchase their balloons.

  2. Step 2

    Go to the Clown Forum website to ask other people where they purchase inexpensive balloons. The site also has tips for using the balloons and creating specific shapes.

  3. Step 3

    Compare prices and balloon packages from online clown specialty stores. For example, go to the Clowning Around website and click on the "Balloons" option. At this website you have many options, including round, novelty and water balloons.

  4. Step 4

    Purchase all balloon accessories from the same website or store where you purchase your balloons. Such accessories include a beginner's kit and balloon tools, sticks and markers. You may get a discount on shipping for buying all of your items from one website.

  5. Step 5

    Write down the costs and make sure you receive an electronic receipt if you purchase your balloons online. Print and store your receipt for tax purposes if you are using the balloons as part of your profession.

  6. Step 6

    Buy clowning balloons wholesale to save money in the long run. For example, go to the MSR Wholesale Balloons website, where a minimum order is $50.
