Camper van wedding card box

This isn't technically a piñata as it has a slot for  envelopes at the top. Its made from a cardboard box and rather a lot of newspaper to add shape and detail.








Its also my 50th papier mache project. I figure I should have a big party when i get to 100, or at least do something special. 

From cardboard box to camper van - click on this text for pictures of how it was made!

Elephant pinata vs the robot

Our deadline for these two piñatas was today. The elephant is just over a meter long to give you an idea of size..To give you an idea of prices the elephant would cost around £60 and the robot £45 although it is possible to produce a cheaper less detailed version of either. For instance the robot didn't need to have moving arms and legs!

She says it’s not what it looks like but then they all do!

Cocktail glass pinata.

 We've turned the Martini glass into a cocktail glass with a slice and an umbrella. We've got a bit carried away and made the umbrella huge!

The weight of the contents has changed the shape of the glass.

This one is enormous and due to be bashed to pieces at the On the edge festival tonight.

How to make a camper van piñata!

We thought we'd take step by step pictures of how it was made. It’s going to be just over a meter long once it’s finished. This one is being used for envelopes at a wedding.

A piñata like this would cost around £95 as its incredibly strong and detailed.

Martini glass pinata

This is a Martini glass piñata. Its made mostly from newspaper, other than its cardboard base. We’ll put up another picture when it’s completed.

We've played around with the pieces to make a hat or a lamp. We wish we had more time to play with this one but its due to be delivered on Friday.
