The process involves constructing a festive container designed to be broken open, releasing treats and toys inside. A standard method utilizes an inflated latex sphere as a mold upon which layers of paper mache are applied. Once the adhesive has dried and hardened, the sphere is deflated and removed, leaving a hollow shell ready for decoration and filling.
This craft offers a cost-effective and customizable option for celebrations. Its construction promotes resourcefulness and creative expression. Historically, the creation and breaking of these festive containers have been a part of cultural celebrations worldwide, symbolizing overcoming challenges and reaping rewards.
