Making your first Pinata • Materials Needed • Glue • Starch • Newspaper • Scissors • Different Colored Tissue paper • Large Balloon
Starting from the Begining • Blow up a large balloon and tie the end • Cut the newspaper into long 1 inch thick strips and dip into the starch mixture • Carefully place the strips on the balloon until it is covered, leaving a hole at the top • Set aside and let the balloon dry • Place another layer of newspaper dipped in the mixture over the balloon and let dry • When dry, pop and remove the balloon
Let's Continue... • Cut strips of tissue paper (10 in. long/2.5 in. high) • Fold each strip of tissue paper in half and cut along the folded side vertically • Open it flat and fold it again but to the other side • Glue the colored tissue paper on the piñata and repeat until the balloon is completely covered • If desired, hang colored crepe paper from the sides and bottom • Punch 2 small holes in the top near the opening and string a large piece of string through the two holes • Fill your piñata with candy, toys, or any other fun surprises • Tie your piñata in the air with the string and have fun!
