So, i am making a Pinata or Eric Cartman and so far i have the two ballons but i dont know what is a good resistant way to attached them.
Answer from Piñata Boy
If you plan to hang the piñata from a hook that is placed inside the top of Cartman’s head, then the head has to be firmly attached to the body. The head-to-body attachment has to be strong enough to support the weight of the filled piñata and the force of all the whacking. Normally the way to do this is just to apply layer after layer of papier mâché — apply some strips vertically (like stitches over a cut) and some horizontally. The “neck” then becomes the toughest part of the piñata — almost unbreakable, because you don’t want the candy compartment to break off from the hanging hook or the game is over.
Another option is to place the hanging hook inside the top of Cartman’s body, and have a line running up through a small hole in the top of his head. If you do this then the hanging hook is supporting the weight of the body, and the head is simply resting on top. This is normally the way I do it. This gives me two candy compartments, one in the head and the other in the body, and if the head is destroyed first, the body is still supported by the hook and won’t fall to the ground still filled with candy. I did this on the Princess Ducky, for example, and if you look at the party photos you can see that the head got broken open first, but the candy-filled body was still hanging in there because the hanging hook was anchored in the body instead of in the head.
When I made the Green Dragon I put the hook in the dragon’s head, but all the candy was in his belly. One well-placed blow to the neck separated the candy compartment from the hanging hook, and the body fell to the ground, still filled with loot. I was able to reattach the head and body using wire and keep going, but I have never made that mistake again.
One other note is that the head and body are both basically spherical, and Cartman has no neck, so how do you bring those two pieces together? I find it easiest to simply cut away part of the bottom of the head so that it rests on the rounded body. You can see how this creates a similarly no-necked piñata on the Feepit. There’s a photo of two pieces being attached like this on the Pirates of the Carribean page. In that case I was making two sections of a head rather than a head and a body, but if I were making a Cartman piñata I would do it the same way.
Good luck!
