Making a Cow Pinata

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Cow Pinata filled with cottage cheese, ketchup, BBQ sauce, spaghetti & meatballs and milk.

My friends Felicity Fenton and Mike Hensley had a pinata party a few weekends ago to celebrate their brand new marriage which was tons of fun. A lof of people made pinatas which included a mini guitar filled with candy rings, a creepy mime looking guy, a jellyfish, and the bride and groom naked.

For mine, I put together a cow pinata using mostly what I had around. Here’s how to make it:

You will need:

  • Small box (I used a double cereal box from Costco)
  • A few sheets of plain white paper and a black marker
  • Cottage cheese, 48oz
  • Plastic grocery bag
  • Ketchup, medium bottle
  • Barbeque sauce, medium bottle
  • Toilet paper rolls, 4
  • Empty ‘Chinese food’ box
  • Spaghetti and meatballs, about two cups
  • Wire
  • Tape
  • Latex glove
  • Half a pencil
  • Milk
