• Stanley knife

Easy step by step

Follow the steps below to create your confetti piñata:

STEP 1. Draw your desired shape on cardboard. We've chosen a heart shape, but you could opt for a star, circle or even a fun geometric shape. Cut out using your stanley knife and use as a template to both are identical.

STEP 2. Cut a long strip of cardboard 10cm in width and cellotape to one section of the shaped card.

STEP 3. Use clear tape to attach edging to the other piece of cardboard. Make sure to leave an open section at the bottom of the piñata to add a flap that allows the confetti to drop from.

STEP 4. Cut the crepe paper to the width of the piñata and cut strips along the length of the paper. Starting from the bottom, add a line of glue and a strip of crepe paper, and continue upwards. Once you've finished the first side, move onto the other side, then move onto the sides.

STEP 5. Cut a small piece of cardboard slightly longer than the opening at the bottom of the piñata, then glue on. Add a small hole into the flap thread some ribbon through it and tie a knot in the end. Then start adding your confetti.

We recommend our confetti as it is all natural and biodegradable so you can use your piñata outdoors and the confetti that falls on the floor is eco-friendly and will degrade over a period of days so you don't need to clean up afterwards. Take a look at all the colours we have available.

STEP 6. Add a hole in the top of your piñata, thread some ribbon and hang your piñata in a doorway or from a tree. Pull the bottom ribbon to open the trap door and release the confetti!
