Summer is here & everybody loves a Garden Party or Family BBQ.
Do you want to be creative & show off your craft talents to your family & friends? Follow this simple steps to make your very own Mini Balloon Pinatas!
What you will need:
-
- 10″ Latex Balloons
- Laundry Starch Spray
- Thin Strips of Coloured Tissue Paper
- Scissors
- String
- Sweets
Follow our simple instructions to make your own:
-
- * Gently inflate your 10″ latex balloons with air until they are the size required – You can order your 10″ latex balloons from the Balloons Galore Online Party Shop
-
- * Rest you balloon in a glass or bowl with the tied knot facing upwards
-
- * Spray the balloon with laundry starch spray
-
- * Layer the thin pieces of the coloured tissue paper onto the balloon so that it is covered leaving only a gap at the top where the tied knot is
-
- * Leave the balloon to set until the thin tissue paper has hardened
-
- * Once it has set, carefully pop the balloon
-
- * Now the tricky bit! … Carefully cut away the tissue paper at the opening to make a long thin opening rather than the rounded one
-
- * You can now carefully add your sweets inside your Mini Balloon Pinata!
-
- * Using your string, tie a loop large enough for it to hang down the side of the balloon
-
- * Slide the top part of the string loop into the balloon and across the hole
-
- * Spray the remaining tissue pieces with laundry starch spray and cover over the hole so that the string is embedded
-
- * Leave to harden and set
-
- * Once set – your Mini Balloon Pinata is ready! These make ideal favours for table settings!
Top Tips – Use coloured tissue paper to suit your table/scheme
Why not add name tags or gift tags on to your string before you make your loop?
