Hello everyone! After taking a few classes, I think I’m ready to start Balloon decor! I’m putting a star kit together. Any recommendations? Any advice appreciate it. I know to start at home and then offer free to build a portfolio and confidence. Thank you!

Storytime!📖 🤡When I first started balloon twisting in Los Angeles, I worked at an outdoor mall alongside at least six other balloon artists. Competition was intense. One dude was particularly mean. He’d set up right next to me, blast music to drown me out, tell families not to come to my line, and even yelled at me in front of kids a few times. I was only 20, and that experience shaped how I saw the industry for years. 🎈For a long time, I kept my distance from other balloon artists. I assumed everyone was territorial and cutthroat, so I avoided them. But as the years went on, I met more and more artists who were generous, collaborative, and genuinely supportive of each other (shout out to Kenny the Clown! Some of you know who I mean, he's a joy). It completely changed my perspective. Now, I see how powerful it can be when creatives share ideas, refer gigs, and grow together instead of competing in isolation. 🐒I’m curious: What has your experience been with other balloon artists, more competition, more collaboration, or a mix of both? Tell me your story in the comments 👇
