How to Make Balloon Fairy Wings for Birthday Parties

HOW TO MAKE BALLOON FAIRY WINGS! 

Fairy wings are very popular with the girls at a party. The adults like them and some of the boys as well.


Using the balloon pump, inflate a balloon leaving about 4 inches un-inflated at the end. Remove the balloon from the pump carefully while pinching the end so no air escapes.


To tie off the balloon, use your other hand to pinch and then pull on the end to stretch it. Release the first hand and re-pinch the balloon a short distance away from the end. This action will give you enough room to tie off the balloon by making a loop and pushing the end through the loop and pulling it tight.


Put this balloon around the waist of the child and twist the ends together to hold it in place. Make sure the twisted ends are in back of the child.


Inflate another balloon and tie off the end. Now tie the ends of the balloon together to form a rough circle.


Now do the same with another balloon of the same color.


You now have two balloon circles of the same color. Tie them together tightly to form a figure eight.


Now form each balloon into a heart. To do this, take the middle of the side opposite the tie and form a fold that just fits into your hand. Squeeze your hand into a fist and hold it briefly. When you release your hand the circle will now be heart shaped. Do the same to the other balloon.


Take the completed wings and attach them to the balloon around the waist of the child. Do this by twisting the free ends of the waist balloon around the center of the wings.


Now you are done. Now tell them to fly away!

Say No To Balloon Strangers

Say No To Balloon Strangers

Some  children are afraid of full whiteface clowns. Not only that, but a full whiteface hides a person’s true identity. A softer looking face and a more gentle approach help to calm a child. It also allows a parent to better see the person’s face.

When you are hiring a children’s Entertainer, call and ask them what they do at the party and how many kids they cover. Most entertainers say the packages are based on 12 kids to get the job. Tell them exactly how many kids you expect you can get a true quote from them.

If you are calling off of the Internet, ask them what city they are located in. See if it meets your needs. They may be hundreds of miles away and will subcontract the job to someone more local to you that may not be qualified.

Do not give out your credit card information to the companies off the net. If you must pay a deposit pay it through PayPal. It is better if you can pay in full at the door when the entertainer arrives. A deposit refund sometimes requires 4 months to get back.

When the Entertainer arrives, ask for ID at the door. Do a written contract at the door. Avoid third party invalid contracts. Use the entertainers Business License or Drivers License for proof of identity. No balloon strangers in the house with the children.

Do not hire an Entertainer without proof of Liability Insurance of 3 Million Dollars or more. Professional entertainers have liability insurance and this check separates the  non-profession from the professional. The entertainer should show you a certificate of insurance at the door with their name on it since few companies have blanket policies covering their entertainers. This helps protect you from personal liability if a child chokes on a balloon.

All of this is to keep your children safe from strangers and to hire a professional. Many companies subcontract out jobs illegally to others and your contract with that company could be invalid. Worse yet, you could have no clue who can in and handled your children. It could have been anyone. The goal is to work together to educate parents and to keep the children safe.
