Theres something particularly special about that first birthday, isnt there?
), and the step up to the 12-18 month wardrobe.
To celebrate this milestone we held a fun owl-themed birthday party.
With mainly girls in the family I was princessed-out and thought some woodland decorations would be a nice change.
And what kind of party would it be without a birthday pinata?
So I headed home, grabbed a cereal box and made our own yellow owl birthday pinata.
What youll need to Make an Owl Pinata
To Assemble the Owl Pinata
1.
Use a round plate to mark off the bottom corners of the cereal box to make them rounded.
With a knife, cut off the corners along the marked lines.
Tuck some tissue paper into the openings and close off with packing tape.
The tissue paper will keep the contents of the pinata from sticking to the tape.
The cereal boxes are actually pretty difficult to break through.
Fill the box with your favors of choice (e.g.
stickers, erasers, candies, small toys, coins, etc.)
and tape closed the top of the box.
This will make two triangle-shaped pieces.
Tape one to each of the top corners of the box as shown.
(Note that I had originally just poked a set of holes through the top of the box.
However, the yarn cut through the box after a few hits and fell ).
Tape the yarn to the box in a couple of places.
Wrap the entire box with the white sheet of paper and glue in place.
Wrap again with one sheet of yellow tissue paper.
Cut the strip into approximately 1.5 inch sections.
Cut fringes along one of the unfolded edges.
Open up the strips.
With each row, trim the excess when you get to the end.
Print the template onto a sheet of white paper.
Cut out the face piece and glue onto the box, about two inches below the top edge.
Add the eyelashes for a girl owl.
