Plex Pinata (With Tutorial)
http://gabbafriends.com/carolina
When asked how Carolina made this great Plex pinata that stores candy within the door on his body, Carolina tells us:
"I don't have any step by step instructions, I really just winged it :)
"I used one large box for the body, a smaller one for the head, two small dvd mailing boxes for the side of his head and 4 small square boxes for his feet and hands.
"I used tissue paper to wrap all the boxes except the largest one. The big box I took strips of yellow tissue, snipped one side and glue gunned it all around except for the trap door part(which I cut out ahead of time). That part I just covered in tissue.
"For the arms and legs I used this foam pipe covering I got at the hardware store and I covered it with silver duct tape. I just cut holes in the boxes and stuck the foam in. It fit pretty snuggly in the boxes so I didn't need to use any glue. I cut all of the details for the face and body out of poster board and cut a dowel and painted a wooden bead for the top of his head.
"The part of attaching his head to his body is the part I really winged, I used a lot of wire and duct tape :)
"I also cut a piece of cardboard and attached it to the inside of his body to make a ramp so that when the kids open his door all the candy would fall out.
"I hope this helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask."
