Before you begin, blow up a balloon and then cut a bunch of 2-inch wide strips of newspaper. Put them to the side for later use.
Step One Mix 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of water together in a mixing bowl. Stir it well until the mixture is thin. Step Two Have an adult stir in 4 cups of boiling water. Step Three Stir the mixture for about 3 minutes, then leave it to cool. This will be your glue. Step Four Using the strips of newspaper you’ve cut, dip each in the flour glue and wrap them around the balloon. Step Five Cover the balloon with about two to three layers of newspaper. Allow each layer to dry well before adding another one. Step Six After you’ve completely covered the balloon with a few layers of papier-mache, let it dry for a day or two. Step Seven When it’s completely dry, make a tiny opening and pop and remove the balloon from the inside. Now, it time to decorate! Step One Take a paintbrush and cover the entire giant peach with the paint. Step Two Allow the first layer of paint to dry and depending on how it looks, you may want to add another coat of paint. Step Three Let it dry completely for several hours. Step Four Now it’s time to make the stem of your peach pinata. Make a small hole at the top center of the peach. Step Five Insert the pipe cleaner(s) into the hole. Step Six Make a tiny opening in the pinata where you can pour candy into it. Step Seven After you have filled it, glue a few newspaper strips (like you had done before) over the hole and then paint them. Step Eight When the paint’s dry, your pinata is ready!
