Hay-YA Pinata

Ha! My lovely wife had some pictures of the pinata, moments before it was beaten to an absolute pulp. I have to say, Charlie and I only did one layer of paper for the pinata. So that, and a layer of black spray paint was the only thing that seperated the nerf bat from the 10 pounds of interier candy.

Some long pipe cleaner legs and a red hour glass and we had a nice Black Widow pinata.

The pinata was so heavy that the line I hung it on was taut and about 7 feet high. Once the pinata was on it dipped down to about 4 feet. I'm sure there's a physics way of figuring out the weight from that but this is not Nova Science Now so deal.

 To get the soft shell pinata onto the rope I had to wrap it a few times with wire. I'm guessing that's what kept it together, not my master pinata glue making skills.

 And take abuse it did. Each kid got three whacks. There were, what, like a dozen kids? I could go back and look at the pictures but that's too much work. Anyway, each kid got three solid whacks. I mean, bat to the body pops!

It held up BEAUTIFULLY.
