Bunny Pinata


Who doesn’t love a pinata!? The best part is filling pinatas with candy and of course, eating it. This DIY Bunny Pinata that I'm sharing from (Lovely Indeed) is gonna keep you and your helper busy for a couple of hours.


Supplies

-Cardboard

-Scissors (Kid-friendly)

-Pencil

-Masking tape

-Crepe/tissue paper

-White Glue sticks

-Cardstock (Black, Pink and Tan)


Step by Step


1. You will need to cut out two bunny face shapes. Cut out one face first, then trace that one onto more cardboard and cut it out. Poke a hole through the top of each face piece so that you have a place to insert a rope for hanging the piñata.

2. Cut 4″ strips of cardboard for the edge of the piñata. Start by fitting them around one face piece, bending and molding them to the shape of the face. Then begin taping them together with strips of masking tape placed around the area where the edges meet.

3. Tape the other face piece in the same way so that you have a completed piñata shape. Leave a flap open on the top of one ear to be able to put candy and toys inside. Leave this flap untaped but able to tuck under the other side of the ear so that it looks closed.

4. Start to create fringe on your crepe paper or tissue paper. If you’re using tissue paper, you’ll need to cut it into strips first. Fold the strips accordion-style and use scissors to cut fringe on one side of the tissue paper, about halfway up the height of the paper. Then unfold and you should have a long strand of fringe.

5. Start covering your piñata! Start placing fringe at the bottom and work your way upward. Apply a line of glue stick down, place a row of fringe to it, and trim the ends so that they’re even with the edges of the piñata.

6. Add the face! Cut pink ears and glue them on the ear areas. Then two little black eyes. Use a tan oval for the mouth and cut a black nose, smile, and whiskers. Glue all these on with glue stick.

7. Fill with candy and toys through the flap in the ear and insert a rope through the holes in the upper head. Tie the rope at the top, toss one end over a tree limb, and let the kids go for it!
