Make a garland by stringing a few Mini Skull Piñata’s together along some twine!

1.Print the templates on pages 9-10 onto cardboard. Gently run the pointy end of a skewer over the dotted lines on the template. This will help the tabs to fold easily after cutting. 2.Cut out the templates and skull face features. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. Mountain fold each tab on the template pieces as shown. 3.Cut a 15cm length of curling ribbon. Fold in half and place the ends on the inside of the back template piece as shown. Secure with tape.

4.Place the front template piece over the back and use sticky tape to secure both sides together to create a skull. Make sure to leave the flap at the bottom open so you can fill your Piñata!

7. Continue to glue then wrap and overlap the remaining streamer pieces until the entire head is covered with fringed streamers. Trim any excess fringe as you complete the top of the skull. Allow to dry. 5.Cut 1 x 22cm and 6 x 18cm lengths of streamer. Fold each strip in half horizontally. Cut each strip along the fold giving you 14 strips in total. Fringe each strip by snipping 1cm cuts evenly along the long edge of each streamer.

8.Use glue to attach the eyes, nose and mouth template pieces to the front of the skull. Attach a piece of curling ribbon with sticky tape to the flap on the base of the skull. 6.Apply glue to the base of the skull, then wrap one of the longer streamer pieces around to secure. Apply glue again just above this streamer, then wrap the other longer streamer around, partially covering the one below.

9.Your Piñata is now ready to be filled with small treats and displayed!
