My daughter made this when she was 11 years old after reading the tips and instructions on this web site (and after having seen me make lots of other piñatas).

She called it a Vampire Smiley, but after she added horns it started looking more like a Demon Smiley.  It's made from a single balloon.  The mouth and teeth are made of felt. The eyes and eyebrows are made using the floral technique for decorating with crepe paper.

The horns had her stumped, and that's when she came to Piñata Boy for help.  It's nice to be needed once in a while.

To make the horns, we made two cones out of white paper, stuffed them with cotton, crunched them into shape, and wrapped them in white yarn to smooth them out and give them texture.

Still smiling!
