Step up to the plate! With a swing of the bat, this pinata will deliver a truly sweet home run. Fill the ball with candy, peanuts, and baseball cards and pitch it at a sports party, a summer picnic, or a family reunion. Special effect: slick red plastic tape stitches. Before you start creating this design, please see our favorite papier-mache recipe, and instructions for creating the core for your pinata.

Materials

• Pencil

• Red plastic tape

Instructions

1. Using a pencil, lightly draw a baseball seam pattern on the ball (you may wish to use a real baseball as a model).

2. Cut the tape into 1/4-inch by 1 1/2-inch strips and attach pairs of strips in a V-shaped pattern, as shown.
