Materials Needed
NEWSPAPER, SHREDDED PAPER, SCISSORS, GLUE, PICTURE OF A FAIRY, DOLLAR STORE SKIRT & WINGS, PARTY STREAMERS, CANDY, FLOUR & WATER, ROPE, OR STRING, BALLOON, CONSTRUCTION PAPER,
Instructions
BLOW UP A LARGE BALLOON, CUT UP STRIPS OF NEWSPAPER, USE 1 CUP OF FLOUR TO 1 CUP OF WATER FOR YOUR GLUE. ADD PAPER STRIPS DOWN IN THE GLUE AND COVER THE BALLOON ALL OVER WITH THE PAPER. LET SET OVER NIGHT OR UNTIL IT FEELS DRY TO TOUCH. REPEAT THIS THREE TIMES AS ABOVE AND LET DRY. I CUT PURPLE CONSTRUCTION PAPER AND GLUED IT ALL AROUND THE DRIED BALLOON. I GATHERED UP THE STREAMER AND RAN IT ALL AROUND THE BALLOON UNTIL COVERED. ONCE EVERYTHING IS DRY, CUT A HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE BALLOON AND IT WILL COME OUT, THEN FILL YOUR PINATA WITH CANDY AND PUT THE STREAMERS AROUND THE HOLE TO COVER IT UP. PUT A STRING IN THE TOP TO TIE IT UP WITH. THEN PUT THE PICTURE OF THE FAIRY, THE SKIRT, AND THE WINGS ON.
Tips and Tricks
- LET EVERY LAYER DRY BEFORE GOING TO THE NEXT LAYER.
- ONLY PUT ONE LAYER ON AT A TIME.
- USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO DECORATE IT, THAT'S WHAT I DID. I MADE IT FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER'S 7TH BIRTHDAY PARTY THIS YEAR (2011)
