A side note...two small balloons, tied together side by side at the knot, make heart shaped pinatas. :D Just bridge the gap with a small amount of tissue. Allow it to dry and then continue on with the rest of the directions. I love these!!

However, I must say that these are very time consuming for a busy mom like me; and I think I glued on too many layers (thinking that they might be too thin) and were too thick at the end. Will make more soon though! I just made these for our party with kids; it was great to see them pleasantly surprised!

(I only wish there was an art store in walking distance. Sigh.) Hope they'll turn out! Going to try a minor variation of these tonight, more due to lack of resources than creativity.

My sister is re-newing her vows with her husband in August and was looking for something really unique to use for place settings. We're going to put a couple of those after dinner mints inside. I am also going to use them for my baby shower in December. We're were originally going to put stars on the bottom of the chairs to denote who gets the "good stuff", we've now decided to make these to fill with kisses and a few pink stars. Thank you sooo sooo much for thise awesome ideas, the applications are endless. I absolutely am in love with these!

I made all different sizes (small for the adults, with dark chocolate, medium for my sister's friends and giant for the kids, with lots of different candy-- all with Easter grass to keep them from being too rattle-y) and used "Stiffy" the fabric stiffener instead of plain starch, which worked great. I'm curious: did you do all the layers at once, or wait to let each layer dry? I tried doing a few layers at once, which seemed to work fine, but I didn't want to risk it so for the most part I waited a few days between layers. I also tried using Mod Podge, which was extremely sticky and difficult to work with, but it made a really flexible shiny egg. I think it would probably work great as the last coat, to make it glossy, but I liked the matte finish of the fabric stiffener.

We'll make them out of iridescent white and beige papers and call them "Magic Pearls". Not ure what we'll put in them, but I'm sure we'll figure it out.
