Okay so I'm revisiting
this post from last year's Yo Gabba Gabba party because it's been getting a lot of page views and I wanted to try and share how I made the pinata from a paper bag. It was really simple but tons of fun.
 |
| Supplies: 2 paper bags, crepe paper streamers, sticky foam sheets, glue, tape and string for hanging | |
 |
| I filled the bottom of one of the bags with candy and toys and then
filled the rest of the bag with newspaper so it would keep it's shape.
Next I cut the other bag in half and fit it over top of the opening of the
first bag and then taped it so I had one big square.
|
 |
| I had cut up the streamers into smaller pieces that were all about the same size and then cut a little slit up the middle of each. Then I began the laborious task of gluing them all over the bag. I would just make a bead of glue all the way across the bag and then stick on the streamers, overlapping them a little as I went. It actually went really quick (especially since I wasn't trying to be perfect). |
 |
| I cut the mouth and eyes out of the sticky foam sheets and just slapped them on. So easy! My husband actually attached the string to the top and I didn't watch, so I'm not sure how he did it...sorry! |
