I was wondering if any of you knew of a website that had a lot of balloon figures to look at. I've been searching and most of the sites that have a lot of figures is a "subscriber only" paid site. I really don't do juggling gigs too much, so I can't really invest in an online balloon site - and plus, the cost of the Qualatex balloons are really expensive in my area!
Thanks!

Balloonhq.com has some good instructional guides (though not enough photos of the finished products for my tastes)
i'm using qualatex 260 q's and a bag of 100 of those are umm hmm like 5 bucks in these parts,.. but i figure you could get them cheaper online,.. maybe from a different manufacturer.
but balloonhq.com has alot of instructional guides for free,..
(though i think they could do for more actual photos and not just illustrations,.. would help me a good deal more) but they can get yougoign well,..
k?

Hello
Try going to BalloonsAndClowns.com You can purchase balloons from them. OR try TMeyers.com If you buy balloons online you will find they cost less than in a local store. I pay at least half of the store cost when I buy online. you can also look at ballooncreations.com and Qualitex.com for pictures and ideas

I agree with Inky Bobo, Balloonhq.com is a good free site for all kinds of information. There are a lot of good books in the $10.00 range- check out Amazon.com. You must be careful where you buy your balloons. I made the mistake of picking up some 260's at a party store. I guess they must have been on the shelf a long time, because about every third on broke. I now only buy from reputable sources such as Balloons & Clowns in Goldsboro N.C. They sell Qualtex 260's for 3.95/100 plus reasonable shipping. Also Bubba Sikes in Florida and T. Meyers, are all online. Let your fingers do the shopping....Willy Nilly
