Bat Piñata

This is the Bat Piñata I made for our Halloween party. I used a punching balloon for the base, then did 5 layers of paper-mache and one layer of black crape paper. The final layer is also crape paper, but I cut it half way to make a " Hairy" affect.

The wings ears and face are black poster board. I decided to make it a pull string piñata so that I could use it for next years party too. The trap door bottom was a little tricky, but it will be worth it not to make an other next year.

I made little pouches out of orange crape paper for the candy and tied it up with green ribbon to make them look like little pumpkins.
