The Megan Bachelorette Party series continues with a how to on DIY pinatas! I found some great already made options to purchase, but I figured I could do them cheaper by some good ole' fashioned DIY. (Don't worry, I'll show you the purchase options at the end if you aren't in the mood to DIY!)
I searched on Pinterest for a good DIY diamond pinata idea and bam! found one:
They have great pictures and follow along instructions, so I am directing you that way. My quick instructions and modifications are as follows:
- I used a cardboard box I had laying around and measured out triangles - make sure your sides are equal.
- Instead of 8 triangles, I made the pinatas using 6 - 3 on top, 3 on bottom. I didn't have a ton of time, so I decided the smaller size would be quicker.
- I used a small X-ACTO knife to cut out the triangles. It is hard, but try to go slow and steady. I had some wavy sides and it made them harder to match up later.
- On one of the triangles, cut out a little door to put your goodies inside once you are done.
- Tape the edges of your triangles together. I used a masking tape - I only had green, but if you can find something that matches the color of your tissue, that would be better.
- Pull a thick string through the top of the pinata.
- Fringe your tissue - the website above has great direction for this so you can move quickly.
- Attach the fringe by using Mod Podge a section at a time. Cover that thing! Make sure you keep layering in mind. Let it dry.
- Viola! Fill them with confetti, candy and if it's an adult party, liquor shooters!
