Make this: Pull Piñata Garland
In celebration of one of my favorite excuses to drink margaritas and kick back with friends, this whole week I’ll be bringing you fun, colorful and tasty inspiration in honor of Cinco de Mayo. This pull piñata garland makes for a very festive Cinco de Mayo decoration as well as a fun activity for party guests. Simply pull and little surprises come pouring down. Step-by-step after the jump. xoxo!
1. Cut 2×2 inch squares of tissue paper and slit a small “X” in the center. (this will help treats to fall out when pulled)
2. Loosely attach the tissue to the bottom of the toilet paper roll.
3. Place a 3-5 inch ribbon over the “X” and secure with a small piece of tape. (NOTE: This can be done right before filling the tubes if you please)
4. Take a full sheet of tissue paper and fold lengthwise to about 1 inch deep.
5. Cut into 1 1/2 inch rectangles.
6. Cut about 4 slits into the open end of each rectangle, leaving about 1/4″ at the top.
7. Begin wrapping fringe at the bottom of the tube and work your way up. Use tape or glue to secure the fringe.
8. Secure two 3 inch pieces of ribbon on opposite sides of the inside of the tube with tape.
9. Fill with candy, confetti, fortunes, toys, etc.
10. Hang on a sturdy string like bakers twine. PARTY!

About to make this now for my son’s first birthday party.
Think I’ll be using this craft at my pre-school. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow I was looking for a easy way to make pinatas and this really helped!
I think im going to be making this for the little kids at my church! :)
Awesome, Rachel! That makes me so happy! I hope you enjoy them! They’re fun to make!
I’ve had this pinned for a while now and i’m super excited to be able to finally crack it out with the kids for this years cinco de mayo celebrations at school!
Thanks for this simple idea! I’ve just linked to this post from my own blog: http://bethnyland.com/2013/07/29/make-pinata/. I’m “making something” for 365 days, and your mini piñatas were just the thing for today’s assignment.
If you happen to be invited to visit a winter wedding, and what will you wear.
This you are sleeveless with all the higher empire waist styling that accents your shape as well as your bust and allows you to look good.
Majority with the girls keep exuberantly taking into consideration the different styles and
hues of prom dresses in readiness to the special event.
These are wonderful, we are making them for a little boy’s “Go, Diego, Go” party this weekend! Thanks so much for the tutorial :)
What an amazing & cute idea. It is 4:00 am and I just made a Caillou version of one since @ my son’s party venue I cannot have an actual pinata & it is too late to order a pull string pinata on line. YOU are a life saver, thanks a bunch.
I’m making these in green and red with my 8th grade Spanish class tomorrow. Thanks for something inexpensive and easy enough!

Check out these amazing pinatas!
love it check out these party pinatas http://www.casapinatas.com
thanks for the inspiration! I made a few to add to fish piñata as it was tiny..it was for my sons 4th birthday. I used kitchen tissue paper roll as it fits more goodies. They all love how pretty it looked! I wish I could post or send you pictures.. However, the string did not pull out any stuffs… :( not sure but maybe the ribbon was so tight.. I need to practice doing this as they are lovely!
