Once the pinata shape is all taped together, I went on to sewing my streamer. I didn’t like how flat the streamer was, so I decided to run it through my sewing machine with a basic stitch to pleat it. All you have to do is mess with your tension a little and run it through a straight stitch and the paper will pleat as loose or as tight as you’d like. After gluing on the paper it’s all a matter of cleaning up the edges. I just cut the edges with scissors. I ran out of crepe paper and covered a few discrete parts with basic craft paper. I also cut the eyes and beak out of basic craft paper and glued that on.

Then, following the grain of the cardboard (where you see the lines or ripples) cut out lots of strips in the width you’d like your pinata to be. I used my 3″ ruler and a box cutter for this. These strips are going to be taped all around the pinata, so you’ll need that much.

Note:I had to use 2 pieces to create the head and just taped them together. It’s okay if you have to do that. Once it’s covered, you can’t notice it. Just make sure the pieces overlap where you tape them.

This piñata was made just like the giant heart piñata, except I used tape instead of hot glue for putting it together. For more detailed instructions, head there.I taped the 3 inch strips all the way around the outside of my pattern and then placed the second piece on top and taped that up too. I made sure to leave a flap opening on top for the candy to go into, as well as an overlapping flap “door” on the bottom. Since my baby girl would not be hitting the pinata, I decided to make a door that would open with a ribbon when pulled. My last step was making the pull door thing on the bottom so for the candy to drop. I ran out of supplies and patience and will to live by this point and just painted the bottom of the pinata.
