Decorating!!!

I finished the base for my pinata! So now, I can start on decorating the cab!  Instead of using the paper mache strips and paste, I am using a different method to decorate my pinata.  I am using tissue paper and glue.  What you do is, you crumple up the tissue paper into little balls and then you glue them onto your pinata.  This gives the pinata a textured look.

Anyways, the cab is going to be white, but I am going to put construction paper, or grey tissue paper, where the windows would be.  The wheel (yes I made wheel) are going to be fully black.  The hitch part of the cab is also going to be grey.  I am going to make the trailer a light greenish blue as that is the color of my dad's old trailer he had.  

Overall, this project is going easier than I expected.  I am really enjoying working on my pinata because it is something I made, without any help from my parents or others.

Run the Bases

I have made my base!  Surprisingly, it actually looks really good!  The base is the cab and trailer of a semi truck; proportional, I might add.  I have secured the cardboard that I used to make the base with masking tape.  I am currently adding wheels to the base to hold it up.  After I finish adding the wheels, I am going to start adding the tissue paper to make it look somewhat festive.  I want the cab to be white or grey, and the trailer to be blue or grey.  The tires will be black. The tissue paper will be secured with a wet glue, and they will be small, crumpled bits of tissue paper.

Gearing Up

Well, this weekend I am going to get the materials needed to construct a Semi Truck Pinata.  My friend decided that he needs to be difficult, and give me a  hard project from the get go.
Now, I really don't need that much to make this pinata, as most of it I have at home.  I need some cardboard boxes, maybe two or three; tissue paper in whatever color I decide to use (it will probably be grey); masking tape; wire to make the hooks; and glue to hold it all together.
The cardboard boxes, or scraps, will make up the base of the truck.  I can put two together, and add a little more cardboard to the front end to make it look like the cab of a Semi.  The tissue paper will obviously be the outside of the truck.  The masking tape will be used to hold the boxes together, while the glue will be for the tissue paper.  The wire has to be put in when I make the base, otherwise, there will be no way to hold the pinata come party time!
Hopefully, this will all work together smoothly, and I am able to give my friend a decent looking pinata.
