Piñatas and party poppers are two of my favorite things in any party. All that confetti and candy is too divine to just not adore, right? Who doesn't want color and sweets? Because of this, I decided to make a hybrid of the two using items that you can easily find at home alongside some recycled materials. Now without further ado, behold these DIY mini party poppers and piñata!
STEP 1: Get your tissue core and punch holes on two opposite sides at least half an inch from the top. As an optional step, you can add some eyelets to make it extra durable especially if the tissue core you have isn't that sturdy. Thread a string or ribbon through so you can hang these party poppers/piñatas.
STEP 2: Measure the tissue core lengthwise and add an extra 4 inches to it. Cut the crepe paper of your choice to that size and with some double sided tape, wrap it around. Remember to do so in a way that there's an extra 2 inches on the top and 2 inches on the bottom. Seal the top with tape while pinching together the extra inches of crepe paper. Leave the bottom open.
STEP 3: Cut colorful paper into small pieces or you can even reuse excess paper from old projects. This shall be your confetti. Fill your tissue core with it alongside some candy. Just see to it that you only add a few chocolates and candies (one or two) so it won't make the piñata too heavy that it rips itself apart.
STEP 4: Grab a piece of ribbon that's at least a foot long. The length will eventually depend on how high you plan to hang these DIY mini party poppers and piñata. Seal the bottom with it and voila we're done!

Since I made these for an Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass themed party, I made sure that it was true to the motif by adding some tags on the ribbon that said "Pull Me" which is reminiscent of the "Eat Me" and "Drink Me" items mentioned in the novel. For this, all I needed were some post-it tabs and a black marker. You can always skip this if you want.
Here's my sister Rhob and her friend Nikz ready for some candy and confetti explosion! I love how these DIY mini party poppers and piñata turned out. They're really easy to make. Plus, it's so cheap and highly enjoyable! What do you think? If you try them out, share them using #craftswithanne so I can see them. Till the next DIY project!
