I have been twisting for couple of years.I am also the only balloon twister in the city at this moment.The only 260 balloons I find in my city /country are of low quality..I buy 100 for 50 cents and make the basic stuff.if I order balloons online its gonna cost a lot.I don't think the pay is gonna cover it either.However I am really good with the kids and try to compensate my lack of skill through entertaining the kids.This helps a lot to get business.
I have several balloon twisting dvds.I also saw a lot of youtube videos. These balloons pop a lot.Specially in the open air in summer and Our weather is usually quite hot.Sometimes its so frustrating and other time it goes pretty well.Usually I end up doing things twice-once in the beginning of the party and then again at the end of the party.I do take precaution:full blow the balloon then blow again,make it soft,leave enough space. Please give some advice on what to do and some names of animals which I can make with it.

Cheap balloons are going to pop... I don't know what country you're in, but if you can get Qualatex or Betallic balloons you should do so.
You say you full blow the balloon, then blow it again. What do you mean? Are you inflating, letting the air out, then inflating again? If so, this is actually working against you as it's weakening the latex. You'll want to inflate the balloon once and then give it a good burp (letting some air out to make the balloon soft). You can also try squeezing the balloon as you go along, which moves the air down the balloon and makes the bubble you're currently twisting a lot softer. As the end of the day, though, really cheap balloons are going to pop a lot. Good luck

Are you looking for basic, one balloon animals? If so, some of the classics are Dog, Sword, Teddy Bear, Swan, Parrot, Flower (though that's two balloons). But you said you've seen a lot of YouTube videos, right? I would try to learn those and go from there. If you're looking for good channels to check out, I've put together a list of some of the most prolific YouTubers at http://balloon411.weebly.com/ .
But if you're specifically looking for the classic, one balloon animals, you will be best to find a book or DVD (which may be harder living where you are).
