Hi O, I am so glad your party went well – especially the pinata. It is surprising how strong they are! Hope you have a great year before you make the next one!!!

It turned out really well, too well! We ended up having to hook in the unbrella handle and rip it open… The littlies were getting impatient after they each had 2 goes.

Hi O, No it’s not too late!!! I have tried with flour glue but I didn’t have great success because it takes longer to dry. (And I always leave it too late!) But with a whole week and warmish weather you should be ok. It doesn’t take long to make: about fifteen minutes to add a layer but then you have to wait until its dry before adding the next one. Otherwise it looks dry on the outside but is still soggy on the inside and ruins your little surprises. I sometimes get wall paper glue in the hardware department at the larger local supermarkets… next to the paints they usually have a small wall paper section. The local hardware store also sometimes have it – but not always. The big homeware/homemakers stores that have everything from tiles to plants always have it – if I am desperate I drive a bit further and get it there. Meanwhile if it does get late and you run out of time then use a gift bag – it really works well and is a great alternative!

Oh no! Have I left this too late?

My first born turns 5 this week with a party on sunday and I thought I’d have all week to try out making the big pinatas to see which worked. I read I could use 2 cups flour with 3 cups water as a paste/glue, will this work? Where would I buy wall paper glue?

Thanks for a great post/ series anyways, lots of excellent tips. I assume it comes from experience. I have 3 (aged nearly5 ,2 and a half and 7 months) and need all the help I can get.

Keep it up

Hay dd… These little pinatas are a lot easier that they look and they dry really quickly because they are made of tissue paper. Also I love the challenge of finding sneaky little things to pop inside of them! You have a great weekend!
