Oohh!! This is so much fun!!!! ❤❤❤
Hi! Thanks for watching. I really enjoy seeing my family's faces when I finish one. I make one just about every month for a family event so we (young and old) can all have some more entertainment. It's a real treat and yes it's so fun to watch everyone laugh and smile while breaking it.
Fantastic!
Thank you so much for watching! I will uploading another very soon.
Thanks to you I made it!
That's Awesome! I'm so glad that my little videos could help out. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns for future one. I'm be making a T rex dinosaur soon. Stay tuned.
Such a cool and thoughtful video. Hoping to try your method soon. Also your grace and patience in the comments is completely admirable. Thanks again!
Oh my. Thank you so much for your such kind words. It gives such joy to hear my little crafts can be seen as helpful and entertaining. Please let me know if you come across any questions you may have if you decide to try it as I would be happy assist.
@@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!
@@sophiehiii That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear such a great story where my little crafts help other make nice memories. I hope to hear more soon!
This gets me more motivated to make more content. I have been working so much that I had not really had time to but I will definitely make more time to get more videos done with the hopes of helping others in making similar crafts.
Thank you so much for the update!
nice !
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.
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! 😭
Hello, what are the measurements to make the glue/flour?
Hi there, Thanks for watching and for asking that question. I have another video where I actually do the paper mache mix to the consistancy I like to use for my paper mache crafts like pinatas.
Here is the link to my video "Paper Mache Mix" video.
czcams.com/video/5HtDAdpu8v8/video.htmlsi=eYmPm1JU0ddFx-UU
Just remember to add water as it thickens while making your project.
What paper Mache receipt did you use?
now that is a pinata
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
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.
@@the12makeit Thank you so much for answering my questions and being so helpful.
Awesome! Can you make a crescent moon shape?
Hi there, I will definitely try to make one very soon.
Thank you for your kind comment and for the suggestion of what to make next. I love to hear what people would like to see be done.
Next time use the Beachball as a regular pool toy another time
Sure thing! Just goes to show that its versatile.
Its a great idea for a birthday pool party. Make a piñata with the same beachball you can use at the pool party.
They have air pumps that remove air too!
Thank you for sharing that information. I'll need to look into that. Thanks for watching!
Hello! I noticed in a separate comment you mentioned you used copy paper. Can I use copy paper for the whole piñata? Or does it have to be layers of newspaper first?
Thanks!
Hi there!! Thanks for watching and for asking a question. You can use copy paper for the whole thing instead of the newspaper. Great question! Let me know if you have any others.
Probably putting an air mattress pump on it set to suck out the air would greatly speed up the balloon removal process.
That would be great! Unfortunately, I do not have one of those. Had to do it the old fashion way. I will look into getting one since I intend to make more.
Or just cutting the Ballon to get a big hole.
what mixture did you use for pape mache
Hi there. Thanks for watching! Here is the link to my video of how I make my paper mache recipe.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy crafting!
Next time use the beachball as a pool toys
😄 Well, then this video just proves that a beach ball is versatile.😁
Not sure if anyone else asked this but Can I just pop the ball while it’s inside instead of letting the air out?
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.
@@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
@@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:
czcams.com/video/e2D78s_B2Gk/video.htmlsi=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.
Tip:Gaming Section has more views😊👍
Oh yes in deed it is! Unfortunately, I do not have much time to much gaming as I would like. However, it will be on the back burner for future video projects. Thanks for the tip.
What's the dip recipe you made to dip the paper in ?
Hi there. Thanks for watching! I use a mixture of all purpose flour, school glue, and water. I have a video of how I make the mixture. Here is the link to that video...
czcams.com/video/5HtDAdpu8v8/video.html
Or you can look it up on my channel. It's called "Paper mache mix DIY for pinata projects."
Where did you find that ball?
Hi there, Thanks for watching. I purchased this at my local Walmart. During summer, they may have them easy to find, if not, you can also find them online at their website or on amazon. Its a 42 inch beach ball. Thanks for question as I'm sure others were thinking about it as well.
How durable is the ball? I need make a school Earth project. Also, how to make mache?
Hi there,
Thank you for watching and for asking that question. I always try to make at least 6 layers for a durable hold. However, my preferred number of layers is 9 if its for a party and people are going to hit and break it.
Here is the link to the video that shows my paper mache recipe as I like to make for my paper mache projects.

How long did it last? I want to make one for my sons birthday
Great question! This particular one was used for a group of teacher's event. I was told that around 15-20 adults took hits at it before it was completely broken. Of course, I had to keep in mind that some of those adults were blindfolded. I hope this helps answer your question. Thanks for watching!
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 :( !!!!!
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.
Hi what size ball do I get?
Hi there, Thanks for watching! The ball in the this video was a 42 inch inflatable ball.
I’m trying to make a paper machet like this but a disco ball. How could I do this without the big hole?
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.
Se podrá hacer con una pelota más gruesa
Lo siento, no estoy segura de si estás diciendo eso o preguntando eso. Creo que puedes usar una peltoa más gruesa, sin embargo, no he encontrado que pueda quitar tan fácilmente.
I'm sorry as I'm not sure if you are say that or asking that. I would think you can use a thicker ball however I have not found would that I can remove as easily.
looks like getting out the ball will take hours
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.
Gostaria de saber oq ela passa no balão, ante de colar os papéis?
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:
czcams.com/video/5HtDAdpu8v8/video.html
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.
Joint compound mix.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Oil? Like baby oil?
Hi there. Thanks for watching and for your question. I use olive oil (cooking oil). I haven't tried baby oil but think I would probably get the same results with baby oil. I'll have to try it sometime.
How many days did this take to make?
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.
@@the12makeit Can I use fans to allow for faster dry time?
@@the12makeit Also, where is your video where you show how to add the string?
@@supersly420 I have not yet completed that part of the video however, I do have another video for another ball but smaller where I add the rope. Its basically the same steps just longer pieces of rope to accomodate the size of the ball. Here is the link to that video and the rope part starts on 6:07 of the video.
czcams.com/video/8a7l3KE6SqI/video.html
How many newspapers did you use?
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.
Hello, is it use water to apply paper on ball?
Hi there. Thank you for watching! I do use water in my paper mache mix. I did make a video of how I make my own. Here is the link to that video I made.

Hi there. Here is the link to that video. czcams.com/video/e2D78s_B2Gk/video.html
I also included it in the video description. Thank you for that suggestion! Happy crafting!
@@the12makeit Thank you!
Can I use clear Elmer's glue?
Hi there. Yes I have used it myself for my pinata projects.
@@the12makeit thank god..lol I'm currently working on mine but my supply store ran out of regular glue..lol thank you for the quick response
@@ilianaibarra No problem. Glad to help. Yes, you can pretty much use any brand school glue. I have used Elmer's glue and it works just as good. I just say school glue (no particular brand) as others might find themselves in the same situation as yourself. Good look. Let me know how it turns out for you.
I wanted to use the minimal of paper as possible, cuz i dont have enough paper
For my solar system thing
Hi there, I understand that. When I make a pinata balloon or ball, I make it at least 6 layers to give a decent amount of strength. I normally do 9 layers for the main part of a pinata. For example, if I made a teddy bear, I would make the belly 9 layers and the head 6 layers.
You can use different kinds of paper, copy paper, news paper, or even grocery ad papers that come in the mail. Ask your family or friend if they have any newspaper they do want or need. I buy my copy paper of 500 sheets for about $4. I use newspaper at times to when I am able to find some.
I hope this helps.
Use a vacuum and suck the air out of the ball
That's a great idea for those that have one. Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I don't have a vacuum. My whole house has tile floors. I only have a steamer mop.
What is the mixture of your liquid?
Hi there, thank you for watching. I have a video of how I make my paper mache mix. It is made of flour, water, & glue. Salt is optional to add to avoid the mixture from getting mold if you intend to make a lot of the mixture and use it for several days. I only make enough for the amount I need for each balloon or project.
Here is the link to that video.

@@the12makeit when will you post the how to add the rope to the end of it?
@@tinagary3775 I will do my best to finish the video this weekend as I work pretty much everyday and only have time to do videos on my spare time. Thank you for your interest and watching!
@@the12makeit okay no rush. I was just wondering. 😁
@@tinagary3775 Hi there, I'm sorry for not being able to get the video up yet. I have been working like crazy. Gotta pay those bills. lol . However, I wanted to let you know that I do have another video of a disco ball pinata where I show how I added the rope to it. I used the same process as for the large ball as the small ball. Here is the link to that video and you can skip to 6.06 on the video to go start to that part of adding the rope. czcams.com/video/8a7l3KE6SqI/video.html
😊😢
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
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to try that sometime. I try my best to remove my inflatable beach balls safely for the same reason. Thankfully I have done so successfully and have reused it several times.

One hit and that pinata is destroyed 🙄
Actually, I've made this several times and all took lots of hits before it completely broke to get all the goodies out. Even several teachers took turns at a school function. If you make with at least 9 layers (I normally makes these 9 to 11 layers for the same reason, it will take several good hits. I'm sure many think the same thing so thanks for the comment.
@@the12makeit ok i guess it is worth the try
@@chrisiwissy3872 Let me know if you have any questions. I don't play with all the work that goes into making these to just have it break so easily or fast so also use a certain type of rope. That rope is listed in the description in case you wish to use the same. Happy crafting!
