Have you ever wanted to make your own pinata? For those who might not know, a pinata is container filled with candies and even small toys. Pinatas are used as a game at special events, especially birthday parties. They are hung from a tree branch or ceiling, and children are blindfolded and take turns swinging at the pinata with a stick. The goal is to break them open so the candy and toys inside spill out.

I have compiled some resources that will help you make your own pinata. The resources I have gathered will guide you through making two different kinds of pinatas. You will be surprised at how easy it is; and, as an added bonus, you probably have everything you need to make one laying around your home right now!
