Happy Hannukah, Happy New Year, and happy "augh when will the days start getting longer again" also
So next week I am going to my friend's big holiday party (this is basically the only actual, like, real grown-up party, with alcohol and stuff, I go to most years) and the theme this year is that everybody needs to bring a pinata.
I think she was assuming everybody would just buy one and fill it with candy; I think she underestimates her friends.
Anyway, I plan to make one that looks like this, a pokemon go gift:
I have stardust (small glitter tubes), coins (chocolate coins), eggs, and some pompom pokemon and pokeballs, plus a few actual pokemon toys to go in it, and I'm planning to get some candies as well. I may throw in some origami stars as revives too, if I can find directions for something close enough.
Now I just need to make the pinata! I have cardboard, tissue paper in the right colors, clear cellophane, a ribbon and a tag; I'm not going to mess with the LEDs; lots of masking tape, newspaper, string and glue. Now I just need to figure out the dimensions, and how to fasten the pieces together so it comes apart when whacked but not before.
I'm thinking make the top part as one piece and the base part as a separate piece, which would also let me load it upside down, and don't wrap the cellophane around the base, so that probably the base will come off first and spill everything out? But I'm not sure. (I also need to figure out the dimensions...)
But first I need to fold my laundry!
