Question

Can I use other things to hang up a pinata?

Community Answer

Yes. You can add some holes in the pinata itself to string it up later with ribbon or rope. You could also use some kind of hook to attach and hang it up.

Question

Do I need to take cardboard out before I wrap newspaper when making a star pinata?

Community Answer

No, keep the cardboard in and wrap the pinata like a present. (Remember to slit the newspaper at the various positions.)

Question

Will a cardboard piñata still work as good as a balloon one?

Community Answer

A cardboard piñata will also work fine, but the balloon is easier to crack open and is recommended for little kids. If the cardboard is too thick, it will be hard to crack it open, so it's best to use a thin cardboard, but you still can't guarantee it will work. Balloons are the best for piñatas.

Question

What type of lollies do we put in?

Just some random Teto on the internet

Community Answer

You can put any candy in it as long as it doesn't break easily. It doesn't matter what brand you put candy. You can also put toys in but be careful because somebody might get hurt by a falling toy if the toy is too big.
