How to make Pinatas???

[wurlywurly]

Have just been to a party where they had a pinata. Ds1 thoroughly enjoyed it and wants one at his party, buy I refuse to pay £10 for a box that we will whack and break.

Anyone know how to make one (was thinking bout paper mache) in the shape of a spongebob squarepants. Any tips

TIA

Have just found this thread as also am not keen to spend £15 on a pinata.
I am thinking of making a donkey or nemo
Any more artistic ideas out there???

I could do a cricket ball [light bulb moment]
It is a cricket party btw
Or i could make light saber [always a winner}
