(1) Purchase an undecorated
tramp-shaped piņata form
(if
these aren't readily available in your neighbourhood you
can:
(a)(i) tie together
four long balloons and one round one to approximate the tramp-shaped
pinãta form as seen in Diagram 1.
(ii) Cover this with
several layers of papier mache (strips of newspaper and white glue or
flour-and-water paste work well)
(iii) allow to dry for
24 to 48 hours, or until a solid crust has formed around the
balloons.
(iv) Using a long, thin needle to
penetrate the papier mache, pop each
balloon.
Or
(b) no tramp-shaped piņata forms?
Move
to a more interesting neighbourhood.
(2) Drill a hole approx. 3" in diameter in
the back body section.
Fill the
pinãta with small candies, nuts, and toys, or for that authentic Marita
feel, lies, deceit, and a
Do it Yourself Oilien. |

(3) Seal the opening with duct
tape
(a substance the real Marita is, no doubt, more than
familiar with)
(4) Decorate the piņata using
poster paint or old designer clothing.
Knotted yellow yarn gives a nice bottle-blonde hair effect.
Don't forget the oilien-fog in the eyes!
(5) Using strong string, rope,
or for that authentic touch, piano wire, hang your Marita Piņata by the
head (or neck, which ever is more satisfying) in an area away from
breakable articles.
(6) Slap your Marita Piņata with a large stick.
Or a baseball
bat.
Or both.
Repeatedly. |
