How To Make a Balloon Paper Mache Ghost PiñataThis ghost pinata is a perfect size—not too big, not too small, and you can adjust the size based on how big you blow your balloon. Paper mache piñatas are the most traditional (and the messiest) but make for a great pre-party craft activity.
Paper mache is pretty easy plus, you probably already have most of the supplies! A paper mache piñata can be completed in five easy steps.
Step 1 – Mix one part water with one part flour to create a paste.
Step 2 – Blow up a balloon and cut newspaper into strips.
Step 3 – Dip a newspaper strip into paste, squeezing off excess paste. Apply to balloon.
Step 4 – Repeat Step 3, layering newspaper on until the balloon is covered three to four layers deep. Leave an opening at the top for candy.
Step 5 – Let dry for at least 24 hours. Then pop the balloon and decorate! Use white crepe paper to cover the balloon and leave ends trailing off to create the ghost look. Add googly eyes and a spooky mouth and fill with treats!
