Step-by-step guide
1. Prepare your base
If you’re using cardboard, cut it into the desired shape of a piñata. For a traditional look, consider making a simple shape like a star or a heart.
2. Cut the tissue paper
Cut the tissue paper into strips, each about two inches wide. Then, cut fringes along the edges to create a fringed look that adds texture.
3. Assemble the piñata
Starting from the bottom of your piñata base, glue or tape the fringed tissue strips in layers, overlapping them slightly until the entire surface is covered. Alternate colors to achieve that rainbow effect.
4. Fill the piñata
Once you have finished decorating, it’s time to fill your piñata with candy or small toys. These can be placed through an opening at the top or bottom, so ensure it is secure before hanging.
5. Hang it up
Attach a sturdy string to the top of your piñata to hang it wherever you plan to celebrate. Make sure it’s at a height accessible for guests to take swings!

Crafting a rainbow piñata can be a delightful project that brings joy to any party. With bright colors and a fun-filled atmosphere, your homemade piñata is sure to be a hit!
