Below you can watch the steps taken as I was working with Papier-mâché, to create a custom "Bob & Larry" party piñata for my daughter’s Kindergarten Graduation class party. The entire process took a little over ten days (so much drying time), but I managed to fit it into two detailed videos outlining the entire process. These (2) videos are more for viewing enjoyment as opposed to my more usual instructional how to, so sit back, enjoy…oh, and don’t blink (you may miss something LOL! :o)
Part 1 of 2
Part 2 of 2
For creating these pinata forms I used a Punch Balloon
Wow, this is awesome. Love your pinatas. They are super cute. Your video was extremely helpful and love the speeded up pace. :)

Thanks-A-Bunch! I really appreciate your kind words. Be sure to stop back soon I have many more custom pinata themes to share.

If you don't mind me asking - Where do you buy the large balloons for the pinatas? I'm sick I just found this! Our party is the 21st so I will have to try it myself instead of ordering one. It is absolutely adorable!

The large balloons are just regular punch balloons, that you can purchase from any party store. If you have trouble finding them, I have a link posted under the category "Party Pinatas " the post called "How to Create A Papier-Mache Mario Pinata 1 of 3". Hope this helps.

Thank you so much - did you use a round punch ball for Larry too?

Oops, I should of told you that too. :o~ I went ahead and included it in the bottom of this post which types of balloons were used to form the body shapes of both veggies.
