How To Make a Piñata
This page from familycrafts.about.com
gives instructions for making a piñata.
If doing papier mache I would suggest using
half white glue and half water with the
paper strips as it dries to a nice
hard finish much faster than flour and water.
Just be sure to cover the working surface
with a plastic tablecloth, or my favorite -
wax paper.
