Celebrations of all kinds can be made extra special with a piñata. I made this one for our Annual 4th of July celebration.
It was a lot of fun seeing it come to life. Just a little newspaper,cardboard, a balloon and wallpaper paste was used to make the basic shape. I let it dry overnight and once it was dry I painted on the design and then used glue and tissue paper to complete it.
Here’s the link to the video I found helpful to walk me through the process: https://youtu.be/44JYARhkFe8
My husband was surprised with the outcome as the basic shape, made with just newspaper, wasn’t pretty.
I will definitely make more piñatas in the future. It was very simple to make and I think it turned out to look like a real piñata!
Now it’s time to fill it with candy and hang it up for the party. I hope you give it a try! If you do post a picture on Instagram please hashtag #bhlmcrafts
