Hi Rebecca.. Welcome to the forum.. You'll find you get lots of help and advice here! I'm also a face painter first then I too added balloons due to the demand. It's a great package to offer. Just start with around 10-20 simple 1 balloon designs. As your confidence grows you.can add more. Most of my parties are 1st hour face painting then I pack up and then do the 2nd hour balloon twisting for up to 12 children. Have a look at my website to get an idea. Once you start you'll never (ok lots) pop!!
