Party Pinata

My cousin Sara is turning 1 and were having a party for her on Sunday, I made a Bunny Pinata for the occasion.

Dipping strips of newspaper in the flour and water glue.

Evenly placing sticky strips of newspaper to prepared balloon.

First layer drying. (Note: Bunny is upside down)

First layer drying. (Note: Bunny is now right side up, but ears are doing crazy things!) At this point, my family's encouraging words have been, "Is that a pig?", asked my brother, "No'' my mom replies, "It's a pig with rabbit ears!". Needless to say, it has been the end of more then just one joke.

The painting begins.

And continues.

Until it's done!

Now the filling! I crumpled up crepe paper and layered that with the candy so when it brakes it wont just 'plop' out, it will slowly fall. Maybe. Hopefully.

Putting candy in the rear of the bunny. (Hhmm... when ya think about it, that's kind of weird...)lol

Lastly, I put a fluffy tale of white crepe paper over the rear hole.

TADA!! Complete with wire hanger! :^)
Even has cute bunny paws.
