Pinata De Los Muertos
What a beauty, eh? I'm very happy with how the pinata turned out, although I did learn some lessons along the way:
1. If you have to mail it somewhere, consider filling it with lightweight candy like smarties and pixy stix rather than gynormous quantities of peanut butter cups and dark chocolate.
2. If you have to mail it somewhere, consider how well (or not) the decorations will hold up in transit. She's going to need some serious fluffing when she shows up on the other side of this swap!
3. However long you think it will take for each layer to dry, double it.
All in all, though, I had a lot of fun making this little lovely and I hope my swap partner kateyb enjoys it!
PS: The day before I packed up my girl to mail to kateyb, I got a pinata in the mail from chappykat, and it amused me to see what a handsome couple they make. I love the yellow guy's smarmy mustache and obvious toupee!
Awesome! It's totally beautiful! I've never tried this before, but I might, seeing how cool this looks!
