About this deal

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. WARNING:Not suitable for children under 3 years. Small parts - choking hazard. Lollipops are a potential choking hazard 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. INGREDIENTS:Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Dextrose, Vegetable Oils (Palm, Palm Kernel), Acidity Regulators: Malic Acid, Citric Acid; Stearic Acid, Modified Starch, Sodium Bicarbonate, Flavourings, Gelling Agent: Gelatine; Magnesium Stearate, Anti-Caking Agent: Magnesium Carbonate; Cornflour, Emulsifier: Glycerol Mono Stearate; Colours: Ammonia Caramel, Anthocyanin, Beetroot Red, Copper Chlorophyllin, Curcumin, Lutein, Paprika Extract.

Start by cutting out your cardboard shapes. You’ll need two flamingo shapes (I just freehanded them while looking at a flamingo pic online!), a few long pieces of 3″ wide cardboard (for the sides) and two skinny pieces for the legs. Then cut a bunch of strips of 1″ wide fringe. I did this for 3 rolls of streamer paper. I also decided to fold the streamer in half just so I could have lots of small ruffle layers. 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. Once the paper was done, it was just a matter of gluing it on. If I had to do it again, I would glue the sides first so that the edges would be better hidden, but I began on the main body, so I just followed that through. I used a glue gun for this. 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.

15. DIY Flamingo Pinata

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.

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. 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. 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.
