Pinata for Kimmie's Birthday

It was in February 2012. I was invited to my friend’s daughter’s birthday party in their house. Her name is Kimmie. Kimmie was turning into 5 years old. She really loved watching Angelina Balerina. So, I decided to make an Angelina Balerina piñata for her party.

First, I searched on the internet how Angelina looked like. 

(thanks for the picture http://angelinadancestudio.com)

The materials that I used are pink carton, pink shiny paper, glue and tape

I made and cut the pattern for Angelina’s body and face. I also made the cone for her nose to give a 3D look. Then, I filled the nose with sweets before I pasted it on the face.

For the dress, I divided it into two: the upper part or the tank top and the skirt.

I cut the tank top and pasted it on the body.

I joined the front and back patterns by using the tape. But I keep some parts open for putting in the sweets and used papers later.

I cut a long rectangle for her skirt and made it into rimple skirt.

I put the sweets and used papers in the piñata. Then, I closed the open parts by using the tape.

Then, I cut the ballerina shoes with pink shiny papers and paste them on her feet

For the final touch, I cut a long rectangle for her belt and put the flower in the middle.

And tadaaaaaa! The piñata was ready….

Since I didn't come to her party, I decided to give her an extra gift

Happy Birthday, Kimmie!
