It looks like it's made similar to how I make Christmas wreaths. I use fabric for the wreaths, but you could use pieces of plastic just as easy. Start with a stryrofoam base. Cut your plastic (flexible or stiff plastic) into squares. The size of the squares depends on the desired size of the finished project. I have found that 4 inch squares work well. Cutting with pinking shears also gives a nicer fluffier look. You will also need glue and a pointy stick (a pencil or old knitting needle work well). Place the pointy end of the stick in the middle of the square and wrap the square around the end. Dip the end in the glue and then shove it into the styrofoam. When you pull the stick out, the plastic square will stay. Put these "feathers" all over your styrofoam base. Once you have all the "feathers' on, use glue, toothpicks or whatever to add your other embellishments.
Ok that's the way I cover pinatas!
