Haha, my nephew turns 3 on Saturday, I told his mom I would make a Pinata, it is a Mickey theme party. This is my first Pinata, it is easy but time consuming. If you make one hang it under a ceiling fan to dry between layers, that'll speed things up. Now I have to figure out how to put a mickey face on his head, that'll be fun.

I've always thought a scrotum pinata would be kind of funny. But I guess Mickey Mouse works too.

SWMBO makes them for parties and picnics
don't use too many layers of newspaper or the thing will not break open

There is a way to use a grid when painting it, but someone else will have to tell you how. You can get a great likeness and no talent needed. Any artists out there?
ETA What's a punching balloon? Are you sure they are going to be able to bust it? It sounds like tough material. |

I broke the ballon, it was used for the shape only. The Pinata is 6 layers of the Sunday newspaper. It feels strong but i will not find out until Saturday. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Here is the finished product. I failed and these kids will probably be turned off to Mickey for the rest of their lives.

I made one as a child for a birthday party. Apparently I used a little bit TOO much paper mache and it had to be taken down from the string and cut open with a hatchet
 but did my little friends get a cardio workout taking whacks at it for quite awhile |

Looks good. If it's just paper mache it might not hold up well to the stick, re-enforce it with a wire mesh
Edit: OMG! Re-do the face |

Great Job BStone. My daughter turned 7 yesterday and she wanted a pinata that looked like spongebob. I cheated and bought one at wal-mart. She liked it but was disappointed because those are not meant to be hit/broken.
 They have several strings and one of them opens a trap door when pulled. Next year I'm gonna try to make it myself. |
