Shady, you just have to rub the balloon up and down a little firm to get it to straighten up and stay that way, most will, some wont, don't worry to much. The hats I do are Simple but the guys have listed some cool sites, I start with the basic ring around the head for size in add stuff, like parrot, heart balloon for girl, I can make a base ball cap, take one 260, do an s twist as close to end as you can this is the top the push another balloon through the two wholes in the s and pinch at the back this makes the brim and the body of the hat, big ball cap. Kid's helmet [you can call them anything one balloon around head twist place what's left over to other end and twist. simple hat, can add small balloons to make more special ie heart for girls crown, twist other balloons in different color to make a rainbow, just play around and see what you can come up with. I hope this helps, I really don't do much, I learned a lot to start off with, but in my area, kids want what ever the other kid want so the first few you make is what they all ask for, one night I litterally made only 3 types, dog on a leash, sword, flower, I was so busy I didn't have time to twist others they were asking for what they had seen others get.
