I haven't much moneys right now, so I haven't done anything artsy. But a friend of mine celebrated her birthday by throwing a zombie themed party. In honor of her awesome ways, I made her a zombie unicorn pinata. I didn't make the actual pinata (toooo lazy to go through that), but I bought a horse from a party store and transformed it.
The unicorn part was easy. Last year, my best bud Gaby and I made a unicorn pinata (for this same friend. What? She likes unicorns!) and it was so simple. Just a horn, really. This year after the horn, I wasn't sure which direction to go.
This is a preliminary photo. I added blood, scarring, and green skin. I put black for the eyes, but wasn't sure what to add. I also added black paper to the left foot to try and create a "missing foot". It didn't quite work.
This is the finished product. More blood, and green skin. I also changed the colors in the tail, but you can't see it here. There were also pink heart on the front and sides. I left the front one, but changed the side ones to black and green then added more blood. I also added blood to the missing foot that you can kind of make out. I think my favorite part of all is the bloodied horn.
And here is the aftermath. She really enjoyed the pinata. She was actually the only gal to hit it since her second swing knocked the body clear off, leaving only the decapitated head dangling for all to see. Inside, I stuffed the pinata with mini lollipops, fizzy lollipops, whistles, bouncy balls, two normal sized candy bars (for two lucky drunkards), condoms (plain old rubber and festive colored ones!), and smoke bombs! The smoke bombs were a total hit.
Overall, the pinata was a hit. I had a good time making it. And it was SO cheap. I had leftover streamers for adding gore and got most of the favors from The Dollar Tree (my fave store since I became so broke). More than anything, I'm happy happy happy it was a hit with my friend and the party. I hope she keeps that severed zombie unicorn head forever.
