Question

I design balloon decorations as a hobby. May I make balloon decorations on Chol HaMoed (the laws of Chol HaMoed) for myself, without payment? In addition, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law had twins, and the brit will apparently be on the seventh day of Pesach. I want to prepare, before the festival, a balloon decoration for the brit, free of charge, or a simpler decoration also without payment. Is it permitted to prepare the balloon decoration before the festival for the brit on the seventh day of Pesach, and is it permitted to make balloon decorations on Chol HaMoed itself?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

It is forbidden. This is “ma'aseh uman” (skilled, professional work).
