Pterodactyl Pinata is almost finished

From left to right: T-Rex, Pterodactyl, pear.

Almost finished this pinata and I have to admit it is a little too big. To be fair it is going to be really cool.

Due to the weight in the head, this pinata will dip down when hung up and give the appearance that it is diving. Little teeth may be added to the beak, if I have the energy. 

I still have to finish the T-Rex in the background and trying to decide whether or not to add a tiny Jeff Goldblum in it's jaws.

The wings were actually easier to build that I thought, thanks to a trick I learned from a previous pinata.

DIY note: If making a pinata with wings, connect the wings with a cardboard bridge in the centre(several layers of recycled cardboard and pleanty of staples). Paper mache for several days to ensure that structure will hold before removing the bridge. Alternatively you can leave the bridge in for added stability, but less room for candy. 

 

More photos to come as I complete the first Dinosaur Series.

 

I will also get to a DIY section where I explain how to make a basic pinata.
