Description:

This is a Tonya Harding-of-a-swap, I'm redoing this for more participation.

This swap is based on the idea I got from the SB Blog page. The directions are available on the site called---Not Martha---

linkhere

Each crafty person will make a small balloon pinata filled with small gifts and profile based goodies and send it to ONE partner, using the directions from the link above. @crescendo recommended using color napkins for added pattern instead of just plain tissue paper.

Please be sure to read your partner's profile and send something that will suit them. Check for craft and food preferences before sealing the pinata up with the nifty pull string as shown in the demo page. If you are regifting items, please make sure they were used gently.

Also, since this is not an envelope type swap, wrap and pack your pinata carefully in a box that won't get squished by the Post Office.

This is a USA swap only. I give authority to anyone to borrow this idea for their country, if desired.

It's a fiesta fit for a Crafting Queen!

Made the pinata and it came out wrinkly, but good. I made a cap from another balloon, so when I fill the first one that is bigger, I can adhere the cap to it. I also used ink to show the wrinkles as part of visual interest.

I'd have to practice this first so I don't send something ugly to my partner...I'll play next round if things turn out okay!

I am watching for now. My husband use to teach and every year at Christmas we made large balloon pinatas covered with Christmas wrap and filled with candy for his students Christmas party. The little kids absolutely loved breaking them open and getting all the candy. We just used a paste of flour and water and it worked great.

I made a cap for my pinata. I made the first med size pinata. Then, with another balloon, I just sculpted a cap size that will fit over my other one, to form a cap.

This sounds so fun, I have not made a pinata in some time. :D For me Easter theme, or Snowman, just nothing nasty. Keep it PG. Thanks
