Yeah, pinatas are easy to make this way, but they don’t always turn out how you expect them too. Don’t be disappointed, they just get smashed to pieces

Thank you for sharing, looks great!

This does sound wonderfully easy to create and fabulous fun; thanks for sharing!.

I never let my kids have one….the number of kids ive seen get hit with the pinata so i figured they were a bad idea.
Anyone who is using one at a party please watch the other children and make sure they are well out of the way of the person swinging the bat.

  yes just make sure they take turns with one/three swings each then next person’s turn.

Right, bookmarking this for party season.

Sounds fun and easy – and you know what you have put inside. Bought ones need an adult to break it open they are so hard.
Thanks for sharing this idea.

This is great. Thanks for posting. I’ve tried making one only once – it was a disaster! This looks so easy to do. I’ll be trying it next bday party.

And yes my daughter friend and I made one, took a while to dry all good and ready for celebrations this weekend; also we are preparing a balloon idea with darts from mouths of mums web site. I might upload video on utube. Outside drying with decorations as we painted.

yes it is a great idea could put poppers etc in too,variety spice of life

Piñata s always result in someone getting clobbered. No thanks.

This is fantastic will attempt this for my daughter’s bday!

  Do – so much fun to make and then use!

That’s awesome and so simple. Thank you

What a great idea, We were at a part today and they had made something similar but smaller and gave them instead of lolly bags and called them dinosaur eggs.

  That’s such a clever idea!!

You don’t have to just make a ballon shape tho, that’s the joy of papier mache, you can make anything. I’ve made a huge fish, a unicorn, a star. Another great thing about making your own is it’s usually really hard to break, keeps the kids busy for ages

I don’t know if I’d have the patience to do a pinata!
I bought one for my daughter’s 4th birthday party, in the shape of a zebra. It was a big success. And the kids enjoyed a lot trying to break it. At the end the adults too, because it was so hard, nobody could break it!

So easy to make and lots of fun to decorate.

Of all the birthday’s l have attended,Pinata’s are the hit of the party! Thanks for your article!

I love making pinatas – so much fun!
