pinata advice needed

[strollingbones]

i am helping make two pinatas....one a set of boobs that will be filled with candy...we need to make it strong...since it will be adults going after it....any advice? we are going to use wheat paste (fancy name for water and flour mixture)...crepe paper the normal stuff...
does anyone have hints for making it stronger?

we are also doing a cock and balls...maybe...and filling that one with sexual things....i.e. individual packets of wet....condoms....but we are concerned about the cost....

Use a 50/50 wash of white glue and water for a stronger hold.


Try planned parent hood or the health department and they will give you BAGS of condoms and lube. Look online for "sex parts" candy. Panties would be funny too (walmart is your friend) Blue dot candy and call it viagra.

I guess the only thing I can think of to make it stronger would be to alternate the type of paper used when applying the different layers. Switch between newspaper and something like comic book paper that has a slight lamination to it. The more layers the better.

..or you could just use duct tape as one of the layers.

Don't mess around---reinforce it with chicken wire.
And--yes--it will still break open.

Stucco and chicken wire.

That damn thing will take the mutha of all beatings.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Instead of stucco though, use this:

QUIKRETE® - QUIKWALL® Surface Bonding Cement

Lay everything out as per normal, paper, glues, mache, etc over a chicken wire frame. Use the above as the final layer.

They'll never get to the candy inside with chicken wire and Quikrete!

Materials: Large balloon; measuring tape; jute twine; masking tape; large mixing bowl or bucket; flour; water; mixing spoon; salt; scissors; newsprint paper; orange spray paint; craft knife; assorted wrapped candies; hot-glue gun; small black hat; green leafy garland; black construction paper; large branch.




Directions:

1. Blow up balloon and knot end.

2. Cut 3-foot length of twine; fold in half and knot about 10 inches below fold. Tape ends to sides of balloon (knotted loop will form hanging loop for finished piñata; hang piñata if desired when applying paper layers).

3. In mixing bowl, mix equal parts flour and water, stirring to remove lumps. Add about a spoonful of salt and continue stirring.

4. Cut newsprint into 1-inch-wide strips. Dip a strip into flour mixture, then smooth onto balloon, wrapping it vertically around center. Continue dipping and wrapping strips vertically, covering balloon with overlapping layers.

5. Apply next layer of strips in same manner, but work horizontally.

6. Apply a total of about six or seven layers of paper in this way. Let dry.

7. Pop balloon and remove through top of piñata, leaving twine in place.

8. Apply several light coats of spray paint to all surfaces; let dry.

9. Using craft knife, cut a 3-inch circle at top of piñata to remove top. Fill with candy; glue top back in place.

10. Glue hat over top of piñata. Wrap and glue garland around hat.

11. Cut eyes, nose and mouth as desired from construction paper; glue to form face.

12. To play, have children take turns using branch to hit piñata until it breaks.

It's not really cement. It's a fiber-resin bonding compound.

Great for building a retaining wall too. You don't even have to mortar the joints. Simply "dry-stack" the cinder blocks and spread that stuff over the outside. Penetrates into the cement and bonds them all together.

Hold it together with "obama 2012 yes we didnt" bumperstickers
Make it stronger with strawman arguments and personal invective .

blow up a balloon, then with liquid glue paste newspaper in the shape you want. Then use tissue papper to create the look. Let it dry for afew days, then pop the balloon and pull it out.

NO, you need a brush of some kind. Paint it over the newspaper that you put on it. The trick is to let it set for a few days.

hmmm i was talking about a hole in the ground..to set a post....with quicrete...it absorbs moisture from the ground...you dont have to mix concrete....

the pinata and concrete is a joke....brushing it on however would be a good idea....
