Spiderman-minion pinata!

Today I made the pinata for Madden's birthday party.  I decided to use the spidey-minion clip art from his invitation!  It turned out better than I pictured & it only took a couple of hours to make!  

Supplies:

2 16x20 poster prints                                                    
2 white foam boards

card board flaps from old boxes
hot glue
red tissue paper
red create paper
a bottle of Elmer's glue
scissors
exacto knife
pencil
ribbon





Directions:

Cut the poster leaving at least an inch around the minion.  

Trace the minion to the foam boards, turning the minion face down.

Use the exacto knife & cut the pieces out.

Using the flaps from old TV card board boxes, hot glue around the inside of the back of the pinata.  

Line up the front piece of the pinata and hot glue it down.

At the top of the pinata cut two slits about 2 inches apart, this is to add the ribbon for hanging.

Cut a slit in the side of the pinata.  Use the slit to string the ribbon through the cuts on top of the pinata and tie a knot.  Use this handle to hang your pinata.

Add candy & goodies.  Glue down the side slit & glue red tissue paper to cover the seams and side of the pinata.


Glue down both of the minions to the front and back of the pinata.

Use the Elmer's glue to add the streamer around the pinata.  I add one line of glue at a time a use my finger pushing the streamer to make ruffles & that's it!!
