Gender reveal stork pinata

Ashley is a very good friend to everyone around her. She volunteered to help a friend announce the gender of their baby with their friends and came up with a stork piñata to do so. Such a clever idea! Inside the stork they filled candy and decorations in pink to announce the girl they were having. I loved the idea so much I asked if they could document the process.

Materials:

• tissue paper
• cardboard
• masking tape
• glue gun
• pipe cleaners
• orange crepe paper
• fabric
• stuffing
• craft knife
• scissors
• white acrylic or house paint
• paint brush
• frige scissors

1. Cut out your stork shape on cardboard. Cut out two of these.
2. Cut the width of the stork about 6″ wide going against the grain.
3. Tape the sides together
4. Paint the cardboard white
5. Make feet out of pipe cleaners.
6. Wrap the feet in orange crepe paper with a piece of crepe 1″ wide going against the grain.
7. Cut tissue for the white stork with strips 2″ wide. Fringe the ends
8. Glue or tape the fringe onto the stork.
9. Create a beak by making a cone out of paper and gluing it onto the bird.
10. Wrap the beak in orange crepe paper.
11. Add features onto the bird like the black tips and facial features out of crepe paper
12. Create a candy hole at the top.
13. Add two holes to string the string at the top.
14. voila!
