This is Buster's design from an issue of Balloon Magic (which issue escapes me now). It's a super easy mask to make...I'm sure many of you can figure it out just by looking at it.

4 - Lime Green 646s
2 - Lime Green 350s
2 - Pink 350s
3 - Yellow Hearts
2 - Yellow 321s
2 - Eyeball Bubbles

This hat is super easy to make and takes about 5-7 minutes to create. Using about $7 in balloons to create (the majority of that cost is the eyeball bubbles) a visual show piece, you will easily increase your revenue. I cranked out 6 of these bad boys tonight and the smallest tip I got was a $20.00. Easily made my money back and a ton more.

Worth it to learn if you don't already use it...

:)

That does look like a lot of work!

Well worth learning,I'm on my way this week to stock up on supplies I'll pick up some eyeball balloons to make this. Let you know how it went after the weekend.

This one's great. I love the Qualatex "Bubble" balloons. They're more like a beach ball than a latex balloon. They're also remarkable affordable - I think I pay about two bucks and change for each eyeball you see in the sculpture. Not something you can give away to everyone, but a nice sculpture for that special birthday guest of honor or in a show - plus unlike latex balloons, these Bubbles are practically indestructible and last a very long time.

Cost $7 each you made $13 Everyone gave you $20 bucks for that?

Holy cow!

Wish they would all do that here.

Actually, I said that $20 was the least I got...so my profit was higher...

Does it sit on the face, or do you have to hold it there?

It sits on the face. You don't need to hold it.

Did a last minute Birthday Party this evening. It was a Magic Show, but they paid for one large sculpture for the birthday boy! Guess what he got?

Are you using your new electric pump to inflate these? Or do you mouth-inflate all of them?

It's a Don Caldwell design published in Balloon Magic Magazine Issue #66. I was going to make some of these for Halloween, or maybe wear one while I twisted a Halloween event just to draw people in, but the visibility looks so poor that I'm not sure that it will work. Still, a very cool design.
