How to make a number piñata!

Materials needed:

-cardboard

-scissors

-marker

-pencil

-tape

-Hot glue gun

-flour

-warm h2o

-your choice of decorative paper

1. Making the structure. Stack two pieces of cardboard together. Draw your number and then cut through the two layers of cardboard at the same time. We made our piñata 3 ft tall.

2. Cut strips of cardboard for the edging. Our strips were about 5" wide.

3. Taking the strips, tape together the top and the bottom piece on the seam. Reinforce it on the top and on the inside.

4. When you get to an edge just make a crease in the cardboard so it bends easily. 

5. Add a layer of papier-mâché with newspaper and flour mixture. Allow 24hrs to harden:) 

6. Cut your paper into 1" squares. 

7. Using the eraser side of your pencil wrapping paper square and twist. Now add a dot of hot glue and stick to surface of piñata. (Try and work a little each day so that it's not overwhelming) 

8. Cut a section at the top to add candy in then cover with paper. To hang cut two holes at the top and thread string through. Enjoy:)
