paper mache part 2

well...i put on another layer today of the paper mache...then went to ac moore to see what i could find....here is what i came up with......three types of shredded paper some colorful, some wood pieces and sticks, some pom poms, and fake feathers.   i am stringing the stringed leather for hanging because i don't want to use something that could injure or wrap around their little bodies.  i bought crape paper for the outside and some non toxic elmers glue.  they may not be the prettiest when i'm done but the birds should love ripping and tearing. 
i spent a bit more on the stuff than i wanted to but still saved money by doing it this way.  mom just had to go over board yet again lmao.  i would have spent 65 to 100 dollars on premade pinata's and would have still had to fill them so i am figuring i got away cheap. 
was also thinking that making more around christmas time for all of them as gifts might be nice.  may enlist some help next time. 
hopefully pictures will be posted tomorrow.
