How to Make a Watermelon Piñata
For my sister's 24th birthday, I needed to make something youthful for the final year before she turns a quarter century. We grew up in Texas, so a piñata made sense though we've never had a piñata for our birthdays, we just wished we did. I had my first piñata for my 24th birthday in college. It was Dora the Explorer and it even talked. We took the excitement of the piñata a little too far by lopping Dora's head off and setting it on fire. Regardless of the disturbing behaviors piñatas seem to invoke in half-baked adults, I was determined to make one. Unfortunately, all my internet searches came up with lame how-to's on how to make a piñata out of a inflated balloon. I'm not trying to run arts and crafts hour at a mental institution.
So, I started from scratch. Figuring out how to make anything without the Internet may seem daunting, but I went to college so this was easy.
