A girlfriend of mine found this idea and to save time, had a pomander party. The girls got together and cranked out all she needed in a matter of a few hours.

These look great and I am planing on making these for my wedding! When you say that it took a total of 18 hours to make them, I really do hope you mean all 10! And sheets of paper sounds like a lot! How much did these end up costing you? These are beautiful! I just bought a huge pack of goldenrod tissue paper to make these for my upcoming wedding in May. Is there some trick to pulling apart the folded tissue to make it look nice?

Absolutely love the dramatic sunburnt orange of the pomanders that you made for your own wedding, simply stunning. The pinata I made for my daughter's Cornish Fairy birthday party would be spectacular for any number of events. Bridal shower? Baby shower? What fun! Making a papier mache pinata is simple, but does take several days including drying time. This provides a weight and stabilizes the pinata as you're making it.

Don't worry about the hole--that's where you'll fill the pinata when it's done. Smooth on the balloon, covering the entire visible surface. Pay extra attention to covering near the base, where the glass meets the balloon. That's where you'll end up drilling holes and threading ribbon to hang the pinata, so you want it to have some extra strength. Criss-cross the strips of paper to make the pinata stronger. I did four, and it held up very well through two rounds of fairies whacking it with a stick.

If you're doing a painted surface to your pinata, use white paper or paper towels for your final layer of paper. You'll have to use far less paint to get good coverage that way.
