@@the12makeit I forgot to update you! I make two piñatas Pokéballs. One with tissue decorations that was super strong everyone had two turns trying to break it 😂 and the other I accidentally made the paste thicker and ended up painting it & coating it with an acrylic sealer. They ended up using that one as a Halloween decoration but they kept it up for weeks w/ all the different weather conditions 😅 Nothing happened to it in the end the neighbors kid begged for it for his room. I told him I’d make him a new smaller one but nope he wanted that one. So thank you so much for the directions!

This is just perfect, I need to do this for a BB8 Costume for a kid. Hope mine will be as sturdy as this too.

[@the12makeit]

Hi there. Thanks for watching! I would consider making it at least 7-9 layers of news paper for a pretty sturdy costume. I have made some pinatas (11-12 layers) that were so hard to break that my family had to use their hands to rip it apart. Even punching at times. Mind you, they were adults that got the last throws and got the candy out. lol. Let me know how it goes for you. I would really like to get an update on your project.

Be sure not to use flour! Years ago I made an amazing BB8 for my son. Halloween & Fan Expo passed & I put it in our storage unit. Next time I went there, mice had chewed through the whole thing! 😭

[@ajay-yp]

Hey..Can I try it with balloon and with 2 layers it will be hard or not? Please tell me...and thanks you made it very great❤️

[@the12makeit]

I honestly feel that it will not be strong enough with only 2 layers if you wish to use it as a hang and hit piñata. I think it would be to not be sturdy enough to hold treats. If it being used for a different project like a centerpiece then it may hold a bit however, once its painted the paper will begin to wrinkle or warp and more than likely collapse. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you for the question. I do have a video of different layers and having a 5 pound weight land on them to show how sturdy each layer will be. Here is the link to that video in my channel or you can go to my videos and look for "Pinata balloon strength test". kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYawmJ5_bLeXqtUsi=vsFupe0oAL3lTMtv That video has 1 to 6 layers balloon tests.

nice !

[@veronicalouise22]

Not sure if anyone else asked this but Can I just pop the ball while it’s inside instead of letting the air out?

[@the12makeit]

Hi there. Thanks for watching. Sure you can pop the ball instead of waiting for the air to come out. However, if you want to reuse the ball for other pinatas or for using at the beach at a later time, then I would suggest to let the air out through the air hole. You can place a straw in the air hole to allow the air to come faster. Best of luck to you in your project if you make one. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@veronicalouise22]

@@the12makeit ok great thanks! I have watched you do the rope part but apparently I’m still having trouble doing it… is there another way? I’ve tried looking up other videos but haven’t really found any

[@the12makeit]

@@veronicalouise22 I not sure if you have watched my rope video for pinatas. Its a how to make the rope and add to the ball pinata video. Here is the link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2OnaGuplKdlfc0si=ni0KdELB9ZN9MBXp I use the rope this way as it I believe gives a better hold than other pinata makers that just add the rope by making 2 holes around the top. My thoughts are that the weight of the pinata and candy will not hold well if you add the rope like other do. I like it to be around the whole ball.

[@mariaazucenagalvanroblero6674]

Hi, I know you have another video with a ball and rope but I was curious what do you do to close that hole, and how much candy can it carry so it can hang without breaking. I know you can fill up a piñata but if it’s to much candy the heaviness with break it before we do, so I’m very curious. Please let me know. Thank you for your time and amazing job/ videos

[@the12makeit]

Hi there! Thank you for watching and for your kind comments! You can close the hole by adding a piece of cardstock paper as small "hid" to open and close. I usually leave it as is. As far as candy, it depends on how many layers you make the piñata ball. I normally make the main balloon at least 9 layers. I had parties where a 9 layer piñata took about 15 people (no blindfold). If I want lots of people to hit it, I make it with 10-12 layers. For the size of this piñata, I added about 5-7 fun size bags of candy or 2-3 bags of big bulk party candy bags. Keep in mind that the rope I use is not just any rope. I only use "Red Heart" nylon crochet thread. Trust me, it makes a big difference in holding the piñata. You don't want all that work to just use a simple twin only to have the string rip and the piñata fall to the ground only after a few hits. I'm currently uploading a new piñata video and should be available shortly so stay tuned.

What paper Mache receipt did you use?

[@josiesheets9611]

I’m trying to make a paper machet like this but a disco ball. How could I do this without the big hole?

[@the12makeit]

Hi there. Great Question. You could add a circle cut out of card stock or poster board to cover the hole and then apply paper mache over it to seal it. Tip: I would glue the circle cut out on the inside of the hole to make the surface area as smooth as possible instead of gluing it over the hole. I'll be sure to make a video soon doing the very thing.

Probably putting an air mattress pump on it set to suck out the air would greatly speed up the balloon removal process.

Gostaria de saber oq ela passa no balão, ante de colar os papéis?

[@the12makeit]

Hi there. Thank you for watching. I'm not sure if you mean the paper mache mix or the joint compound. Paper mache mix is what I use with the paper over the ball or balloon. Paper mache mix video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3nXdXSapdprrJo Joint Compound. I mixed it with water. It is not necessary to do that step but you will use less paint if you do. It also hides imperfections. If you decide to use tissue paper (the ones that you use for gift bags) to decorate the ball instead of paint, then you do not need the joint compound.

[@astridmeza4744]

How many newspapers did you use?

[@the12makeit]

Hi there! Thanks for watching. Great question! The newspaper I used for this particular piñata had about 10 sheets per pack, of course they were folded in half to make it like a folded newspaper. So I used around 10-15 packs of newspaper but I also used white copy paper as seen in the video. I used about 25-50 sheets of copy paper. I hope this help to answer your question.

How many days did this take to make?

[@the12makeit]

Hi there, Thanks for watching. It actually took about 3 days to allow the drying time properly. I would do the bottom and allow that to dry then the top and allow that to dry, and the last few layers cover it completely for a stronger pinata and allowed that to dry.

[@sallycowan3109]

Do you think this could be complete in 4 days?? Allowing for drying time? Do you double layer in one day to make it go by faster? I need this project completed in 4 days :( !!!!!

[@the12makeit]

Hi there, Thanks for watching! Depending on the area, if its cold, it might be done in four days. I have a room in my home that gets warm and that's where I leave my piñatas to dry faster. You can also place it out the in sun if its warm outside. You can also use a hair dryer to make the process a bit faster but be careful and watch for the balloon to expand as the balloon can pop or the paper mache can tear if expanded to much when using the hair dryer. If you use the hair dryer, do it for a few minutes then let it cool for a bit and repeat. I do several layers in one sitting when applying the paper. Keep in mind, double layer just means 2 layers. So sometimes do 3 "double layers" for a total of 6 layers, then I let it dry. I normally do a average of a total of 9 layers (5-6 layers the first day then let that dry then another 3-4 layers on the second day) for a stronger pinata. Sorry for the long message but I hope this helps.

looks like getting out the ball will take hours

[@the12makeit]

Thanks for watching and for your comment. It may appear that it does but it really only took me about 5-10 minutes using my hands. I usually place a pencil or something thin enough for some of the air to come out on its own for a few minutes. Once the ball has less air, I then start to work out of the pinata, which again that would take about 5 - 10 minutes. Thank for that comment. I'm sure other think the same as some have suggested other possible method without damaging the ball. I may just use a vacuum next time.

it would be smart to get a large cheap plastic 3inch or so diameter container, cut the bottom out, and insert it in the fill hole to pull out the inflatable more easily without damaging the rim, note, th cut side of the container should be facing outwards to prevent catching or even cutting/damaging of reusable balloons
