Hanna Montana Guitar Piñata

Monica’s latest party had a fun “super star” Hanna Montana theme, and I made her this electric guitar piñata. We had a lot of fun making it, because of the shape there was no need for balloons or any messes with flour. I basically just used a box from one of my RC airplanes, cut the shape with one face of the box and traced the bottom part with the other side. The corners were just slices from the same box folded to form the necessary shape. Lots of tape was needed for this.
Because I was using a box and no paper mache, I was afraid the kids were going to have a hard time breaking it but no, it stood its ground and then broke when the bigger kids started hitting it.
One fun little detail where the knobs and the cords made out of colorful threads. Also added a little Hanna Montana sticker to keep up with the theme of the party.

BTW one of the top searches I keep getting is for “transformer piñata”, which almost makes me try to do one (Starscream or Optimus I guess). Too bad my girls are not really into the Transformers, but maybe I could do just for fun or give it to a friend.

Man you are really getting good at this!!!
do you sell these?
Hi Trisha.
I make them for my kids for fun (and I've done quite a bit of them so far) but haven't been selling them yet. But if you are interested let me know and maybe we can talk about what you would want and if it can be worked out.
As it happens I'm doing an R2-D2 pinata project for our next party …
