Step One: Draw a picture of a donkey (or any other design you'd like) on a cereal box and cut it out
with scissors. You need one for the front and one for the back of each
pinata. Then cut out long strips from the cereal box about 1.5″ thick.
Tape the front and the back together with the strip.
Step Two: Once your armature is built its time to decorate. Cut off the
end of the crepe paper fold and cut on one side to create the fringe.
Add lines of glue starting at the bottom. Then glue on the fringe,
wrapping it around the pinata until its all covered.
Step Three: If you would like you can now cut a trap door at the bottom to fill
with treats like small candies, gifts, party poppers, and confetti.
Guests can choose to use the little door or can take it apart anyway
they like to get the goods.
When we saw this DIY for mini pinatas on Jordan Ferney's blog oh happy day we couldn't help but share them with you all. They're perfect for a Saturday afternoon craft and a great way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Although pinatas may be a Mexican tradition, we think these are perfect to make for any occasion in any shape or size you want.
We also think it's better to just hand out candy so no one will smash up all your hard work! And who says you can't have a mini pinata hanging up in your house all year round?
So make yourself a batch of margaritas and have yourself a crafting fiesta!
