Dance Teacher Gift

My daughter had her last dance class last night.  We put this together for her teacher.  Every week at the end of class her teacher hands out stickers to all the girls.  We thought that we would give her some stickers to start her out new year. 

                                      We also made this card with my Twinkle Toes Cartridge.

Birthday Cake: Baseball and Bat

These are the cakes that I made for my son's birthday party.  The bat was his smash cake and everyone else enjoyed the ball.  I covered them with fondant just like I have done previously here and here and here.

Pinatas!!! Part 2: The Decorating of

Here is a shot of one of the pinatas that we made as it is getting hit.  

Now that we have made the pinata forms it is time to decorate!!  It wasn't really hard just a little time consuming.

First I cut tissue paper into big wide strips.  I wanted to cover the newspaper a little bit so it didn't show through.  I found that painting the glue on was much easier and I could cover more space with less glue.

When I put a new piece of tissue paper on I over lapped it then put glue on it soaking it through so it would stick.  

Next I made tons of long strips of fringe.   This one was smaller then I quickly started making them long so I didn't have to glue as many on.

I then folded the fringe so then fringe part would stick out like the store bought ones.

I glued the strip to the pinata the same way at the covering layer.  Be careful that you don't get it too wet because it will start to make the form get soft then you have to be really careful putting the fringe on.

I continued the process until half of the form was covered.  I let this sit overnight and continued the same way on the other side.

Here is the completed pinata!!!!
