Christmas pinata craft
A homemade pinata, shaped like a gift box or a round ornament, turns a party into an activity everyone remembers.
You'll need
- A balloon or box form
- Newspaper strips and flour-water paste (for papier-mâché)
- Tissue paper or paint, for decorating
- Candy and small treats to fill
How to make it
- Layer papier-mâché strips over your form, leaving a small flap unpapered for filling later.
- Let dry fully, ideally overnight or longer, between layers.
- Fill through the flap, then seal and decorate with tissue paper or paint.
- Hang securely before the party — and stand well clear once the swinging starts.
