First off: You need this type of balloons and a pump
Then, you need to find your favorite way of learning. As a beginner mine was youtube. so you can search something like this: How to make balloon animals, balloons animals tutorial, how to make a dog out of balloons animals.
then you can move on to looking at images and figure it out
After that: you practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice
so you can do one in 30 seconds
Finally, just bring balloons where ever you go. I used to take them out at school with my friends to get the line started ;)
What happened to me was that a man came up to me and gave me his card (I knew him a little so i wasn't affraid, so we exchanged numbers and later he called me for a contact)
I prefer making balloons to kids when they don't expect it, like on a bus
And I did all of that in 1 year, I was 11 years old in elementary school, so I think you can do it too
As time goes, I got better so will you if you put a little effort in it
EDIT: Don't use this to abuse kids :/
