Nancy,
Place a clothes hanger bent and added at the top inside of the bag then fill and wrap around the top of the bag to seal it shut. Leave the hanger part out of the top when sealing shut. That way you will have something to tie the rope to that is going to hang it in the air.
Instead of using candy. We use to use this recipe when I had my kids in the Headstart program. This is a Mexican recipe.
Confetti Popcorn
Popcorn that has been popped, about six quarts popped. Set aside in a large deep kettle.
Mix the following in a 2 quart pan to cook;
2 Cups white sugar
1/2 Cup of water
2 Tablespoons of Butter
Food coloring
Cook and stir with a wooden spoon, until softball stage; about 4 minutes. Remove from heat add food coloring. Stir really good and pour over popcorn that was set aside and stir with the wooden spoon until all popcorn is well coated.
Make 4 batches and use a different color each time then mix all batches together after it has cooled.
We use to add a few pieces of candy corn to about !/2 cup of candied popcorn in a sandwich bag and tie off the top of bag with yarn.
This way the pinata is a lighter weight.
We always made one bag for each child. That way no one was disappointed and they each had their own bag.
