How To
STEP 1: cut 2 inch strips of tissue paper
tip: you can cut 4 layers at a time if you have sharp scissors
STEP 2: "fringe" your tissue strips and set aside
STEP 3: starting at the bottom, squeeze tacky glue in a line around the lantern
STEP 4: place a strip of fringed tissue, turning lantern as you go
STEP 5: work your way to the top, overlapping your previous piece a bit
STEP 6: trace and cut out the face/details
STEP 7: hot glue the details to your pinata
STEP 8: place a cardboard circle inside the bottom of the lantern to create a barrier
STEP 9: fill with candy
STEP 10: tie rope through the loops at the top of the frame, leaving a long piece for installation

Super cute! Thanks for the idea. How did you do the ears??
ReplyDeleteLuli! I cut the ears out of the foam sheets and covered them just like the body. I added small ovals in a contrasting color to create the inner ear. Hot glue the ears onto the base, then cover in tissue paper to blend them in. . . hope this helps :) XOXO
