How To Make A Homemade Pinata

Pinatas are a great way to add excitement and fun to any party, for both adults and children!! You just have to alter what you put in your pinata to suit your audience! Making a pinata can take a bit of time and effort, but if you do it with someone else's help it can be a really fun way to spend the afternoon. Be creative and out there and you'll have more fun with your party! Pinatas in traditional Mexico were shaped like six-pointed stars and not only did they contain candy and toys, they also had pieces of fruit! You can make your pinata any shape you want, just not too geplicated or it might take you all year!

How to make a piata step 2: The beginningBlow up your balloon and tie it. Make sure it isn't too blown up or it might pop with all the handling. A large balloon that's only s blown up is best. Mix your flour and water together to make a smooth, gluey paste. The smoother it is the better and neater your final product will look. Rip your newspaper into 2.5cm (1 inch) thick strips. Don't cut them as this alters the texture and it doesn't glue as well. Dip your strips in the glue and cover your balloon neatly in newspaper. Change around the angles and lengths when you glue the newspaper to strengthen your piata. Leave a small hole of plain balloon at the rounded end (about the size of a film canister, or big enough to put your piata contents in).Leave the balloon to dry gepletely, preferably tied so it's hanging in the air, not sticking to anything. If you have time you should leave your balloon for a whole 24 hours. Cover your balloon in newspaper twice more, leaving your whole bear and drying gepletely each time. This is a lengthy process and it's a good idea to do this on your own, and then decorate with a friend, that's the fun part!

How to make a piata step 3: getting rid of your balloon and adding shapeOnce your newspaper is at least 3 layers deep and hard and dry, pop the balloon at the rounded opening. Pull out as much of the popped balloon as you can. You should now have a slightly oval shaped case of newspaper. If you want to get very creative you can now add shape to your piata. You can make animals or objects by adding on cardboard, plastic, etc. There are endless possibilities, just make sure you don't put anything to heavy on your piata. It could make it collapse in on itself, and when it finally pops you don't want heavy things dropping on children's heads.

How to make a piata step 4:decorate and fillthere is no way to write down how to decorate a piata. Do whatever you want! Your party may have a theme, so you could paint on your theme or use many other decorations for your theme. There really are endless possibilities, just have fun with it. As long as you keep that hole uncovered! Once youre finished being wildly creative fill your piata with goodies. If you want you can then cover the hole, but I think it's easier to just make a small hole next to your large hole, feed string through them both, then tie it up from there! Voila, homemade!
