2. Draw the circle base of your Kirby Piñata on a piece of cardboard with a radius of at least 10.4cm. Then just draw his arms and legs to look in proportion which his main body. If you don’t have enough room on your cardboard, you could just tape 2 pieces of cardboard together from the back. You might want to draw in pencil first, and then out line it in sharpie. The part you made in this step will be the front of the piñata.

Step 3: Step #3

3. Then cut out the front base and trace it out on another piece of cardboard. And cut it out, this will be the back of the piñata.

Step 6: Step #6

6. Take one of the thin strips of cardboard and line it up on the edge of the back base and tape it on from the outside and inside. Bend the cardboard strip around the curves of the back base. Doing this will make the side walls of the piñata. Make a folded flap at the top of the cardboard strip and don’t tape it down, this is where the candy will be placed in (the opening).

Step 7: Step #7

Step 16: Step #16

16. Now take the red streamers and do cut as shown to cover Kirby’s foot. Cover the foot in two layers and glue them down using white liquid glue as shown in this picture.
