I do lots of different hats, but how about a hat for the birthday person only? Boy, girl and adult? I'd like to find something special so others would want one for their birthday, something special that you only get when it's your birthday. Any ideas?

A birthday cake hat, of course.
When you are booking the party, you can ask if there is a theme, or if there is something special the birthday child likes. Then make a super cool hat for that. |

Hats hats hats...I LOVE hats because you can just go crazy with them. Make the base then just whip up swirlies, bobbles, loops & connect them according to the bbc's wishes or whatever looks cool.

I normally just make a birthday cake with candles.
 However, if it's a guy over 40 then I go for my Old Fart Hat...

Hey Christopher are you using 321's to make your birthday cake?
I make the candles and icing the same way you do EXCEPT I have found that making the cake out of 6 350's by stretching the balloons a bit can make a base far quicker than the "321 Birthday cake hat" that takes up a ton of balloons and way more time than you have at a restuarant table. |

I am not using 321s...I know you can do it that way but that would take a TON of time and would cost way more to make. I just weave 350s together. The hat takes me about 7 minutes to crank out.

In the amount of time it would take me to inflate the needed 321s and tie them together, I'd be 2/3rds of the way finished with the entire hat...maybe if I were ever in a bind, I'd do it that way...

I sent a kid your way in Texas. I have done balloons for her every Monday for 5 years here in Colorado. They moved to Texas and said we can't find another balloon guy who makes large balloon sculptures like me. So I gave her your website.
