thanks, Luna! And good luck to you (bump a nose) this weekend! You are brave! I don't think I could ever do a birthday party. The sum of my talents (so far) is handing out stickers and lollipops! LOL
I know a few knock-knock jokes, but I don't think that would satisfy 25 kids hyper on sugar!

Hi Pinky,

I have Windows Vista, I don't know if that makes a difference- but I do know there are certain online video games that aren't compatible yet, so I'll tell you how I did it and if it doesn't work for you and you don't have Vista that could be the story...

I went to your weblink and hit left- click, then highlighted "copy"; then closed the link, returning me back to the clown forum. I opened up a reply box, hit paste, and there it was...

Good luck,
applegirl

Pinky you are precious! And I love the hat! Hats are my favorite because you can almost never mess them up. At the carnival we did we ended up putting everything on hats! We used 1 balloon for the base - fully inflated, burped to soften & tied. twist a small bubble, wrap it around the child's head, twist it together & leave the rest standing straight up. Then you can attach a dog, a flower, an airplane, a monkey... the list is endless. Or flip that extra piece over the head & attach it at the back to make a helmet. Then just start attaching other balloons to the top, sides, front or back (this is where rounds & hearts come in handy).

Thanks so much. I could only do it with the support of this caring online clown community (and prayers). I did bid on and won an auction on Ebay for a DVD called "hat attack". I can't wait until it comes...it's nothing but hats. I know all kids like them (the big ones and the small ones!). I never would have thought of adding the animals, that's a great idea! Hugs and Mugs,

Girl, yeah! You can put anything on a hat! Hey, if you have good internet connection, go to Videos on ExpertVillage.com | How to videos, free video clips & more & search "balloon twisting" - you don't have to be a member or log in - This search pulls up like 4 options. The 2nd & 3rd ones are ok, but the 1st & 4th are my favorites with "Malik Haddadi" or "Malik the Magic Guy". He even has a couple on there about making hats.

Again, you come thru as such a blessing! I will definitely be visiting that site. I can't wait to learn all that...just hope my addled brain can retain it. I think about those older puppies (like me) learning those new tricks (like puppy balloons!) LOL

Pinky, you look great!! You are an inspiration to me as I am just starting. I have a costume,name but no show. This forum is so great for us newbies, isn't it? Keep up the good work. Sunny

This forum is truly a Godsend, I agree. Good luck on your "career" and let me know how it goes. We newbies can even learn from each other!
