DIY Pinatas www.ohcreativeday.comA few weeks ago, I wrote this post for Red Ted Art on how to make your own heart piñata.
It’s a great craft for some Valentine’s fun.
I have since been possessed by this insane belief that I can pretty much piñata ALL OF THE THINGS.

My sister celebrated the big 3-0 recently.
So, using WordArt in Microsoft Word,  I created a 30 outline and made a piñata.
I wrote 30 notes and stuffed them into the piñata.
The notes were IOU vouchers of sorts.
Things like…
IOU a milkshake at Daisy’s Milkbar.
IOU a session at No Lights, No Lycra.
IOU a meal at the Hello Kitty diner. (It’s a thing, people!)
Just lots of fun, random activities we can do together.

www.ohcreativeday.comIt happened to be an excessively windy day on my sister’s birthday which made piñata-smashing difficult.
So the piñata was taken down from the clothesline and whacked upon the grass.
Same same but different.

I now have this theory that if you can create a stencil using the shapes or fonts in Word’s ClipArt or WordArt, then you can make a piñata out of it.
Simply follow the steps in my tutorial for Red Ted Art.
