pinatas

so ive been putting off this project for a while because 1.  i couldnt collect any cardboard and 2.  i was afraid of storing these pinatas because of size and lack of space.  but last week i got several packages and so i got my cardboard!  i have one finished so far but am planning to make other shapes and colors (gold and silver)  im loving the copper though.

i basically cut 6 of the same triangles and then tape them together with masking tape.  then i started at the bottom and started taping strips of the metallic paper on.  then i would cut them.  i think taping them on then cutting them probably make the process a bit less speedy than cutting the fringes then taping the piece on.  also i made the mistake of lining the whole strip with double sided tape instead of just a bit here and there.  at some of the corners you can see the masking tape and cardboard so i decided to wrap the end pieces around a bit to cover them.
