Angry Birds Pinata

MR – I’ve never actually played the game, but I’ve heard that it is very popular, and my 6-year old really wanted something with “Angry Birds” for his party.  We decided to try to make a piñata.  Now, it’s been years since I’ve made anything with paper mache, and I kind of forgot how messy it was (especially with four young “helpers”).

We started with a balloon blown up as big as possible.  We followed the instructions from The Copycat Crafter here, and it turned out pretty well.  I’m glad we started a week early, because it takes that long for each of the layers to dry.

The kids loved it for the party, but next time I need to use stronger rope – the rope was the only thing that broke after the first few whacks!

As cute as it is, I can’t see doing this every year for every child – very time-consuming.  Maybe one piñata each, and that’s it…

I live in Hamilton, Ontario, and love my city. I'm a Netflixer, choral music geek, bookworm, inventor of recipes (I take Artistic Licence on EVERYTHING that I make), wife of one, mother of two, and owner of a neurotic Schnauzer. I respect people who respect others. I love good food that's well done, but my favourite lunch is KD & hotdogs. With ketchup. I'm addicted to Clearance Shopping. I will ALWAYS get the product that I want at the price that I want, eventually.
