What You’ll Need

Step 1: Build the Base
Start by shaping your piñata. you can use cardboard to form cubes, stars, or hearts, or blow up a balloon for a round shape. Tape everything securely so it’s sturdy enough to hold candy.

Cut strips of tissue paper and fringe them. Starting from the bottom, glue them layer by layer until your piñata looks full and colorful. Don’t worry about perfection, make it fun!
Step 3: Fill It Up
