Hello everyone!
My 17th Birthday was last month and it was wonderful :) I threw a cute little party in a park for some of my closest friends. I thought I would share some DIYs I did for my party with you. :) I am splitting this DIY party series into a few posts.
DIY PEONY PINATA
(Monique being super cute <3 )
You will need:
- Paper lantern (you can get a range of sizes from the $2 shop, I got a 16 inch diameter one)
- Crepe paper (from The Warehouse, I chose pink, white and gold)
- String (to tie the lantern onto the tree)
- Gluestick
- Piece of paper
- Tape
- Fillings of your choice
- Leave your crepe paper folded once you take it out of the packet and cut a bit off the end
- Cut the top part into a petal shape
- Unroll this so you have a long chain of crepe paper in the desired shape
- Form your lantern using the directions given
- Use tape to stick down a piece of paper at the bottom of the lantern to cover the hole where the light bulb is meant to sit
- Tear off 4 petal pieces and glue them in a cross shape on the piece of paper at the botom of the lantern
- With more pieces of crepe petals gather the bottom so the petals form a ruffle and glue that over the top of the cross
- For the middle, scrunch crepe paper into little balls and glue them in the middle
- Using the chains of crepe petals apply glue to the straight edge, wrap them around the lantern and stick them into place around the middle you created
- Keep adding crepe petal chain layers with your gluestick. You can alternate colours.
- Once the whole lantern has been covered in crepe paper strips and the glue has dried, fluff up the layers with your fingers to add volume to the petal layers.
- Lastly, fill it with lollies and/or crepe paper confetti :)
Top tips: Make sure you attach the pinata with the string to a branch securely! Also, don't fill it up too much otherwise you could risk the lollies breaking through the pinata from the weight.
I hope you enjoyed this DIY. Look forward to my upcoming party post.
Bye for now,
