I've been making piñatas for birthdays of my daughters for years and just thought I'd share what I do.
The first thing to do is buy one of those big bouncy balloons. I recommend using large inflatable balloons, because of its thickness and round shape, you can create any design with a round shape. I am an artist, so I just want to draw any character before you start. Recently, the inflatable balloons are harder to find so when you find to buy several.
Breaking a lot of newsprint, various sizes, grab a small brush, make sure it is smooth, if not have a paint brush that's fine you can use your hands.
Then you have to do a bit of glue, here's the recipe:
Boil some water and add flour to it until a consistency a bit thicker then sauce. Let cool to room temperature around.
Then, blow up the balloon (keeping the rubber band part of the balloon) and place into a large bowl, you can use a filter or a bowl. The bowl will keep the globe still for you. Put the rubber band up, will be the top of your piñata.
Begin implementation of mixed glue with a brush or hand. Do this in small sections of the application pieces of their shattered newspaper, make sure you are down well. Then repeat the same process, the overlap of ball completely covered. You should be as close as possible to the upper part of the rubber band as you can, with the covering. At the match what you see then just turn the balloon envelope in his bowl and make the bottom.
So this overnight dry. I hang mine by the rubber band from a hook in the ceiling of my. It takes about four days from start to finish to make a piñata.
Get some rope, thread will make and wrap the heck out of your piñata that meet at the top. After gaining greater chain wrapped ties or can double as your yarn and insert in all chains, shackles leave enough for your needs. Whether you are hanging from a tree, then you need a lot of ties. Then you can take the rubber band and use chain to hang after layer next.
Repeat this process, the implementation of its tail and the right role on the rope. Cover the entire thing again. Hang up the chain of the moment and let dry overnight again. Depending on how strong you want your piñata, you can choose to put another layer, more layers that have the strongest will. By usually put in three layers.
You can begin adding the strip now. Start with a tissue in what ever color you chose, cut into strips approximately two inches wide, it really depends on you. Apply the strips carefully with his tail. Usually go the piñata gradually making my way up. Then turn over and do the same.
When the piñata is covered with the strip then hang to dry again. Now your ready to cut a hole in your piñata. Cut a bit near the top on the side of what can be covered easily, and then enter your candy or whatever you decide to fill with some opening. Your done. Now is the time for their children to destroy all the hard work.
Have fun and let the children help. For pictures and videos of this witch instruction and more, visit my href = "http://yourhobbie.blogspot.com"> blog
