11 Halloween Piñatas You Can Totally DIY
We do not need an excuse to make a piñata, but if we did, Halloween is a great one. Not only are piñatas easy to put together, but they also add a pop of flair to any party. And let’s face it, adults and kids alike love lining up to try and make it rain candy. Give your piñata a central spot at the party and let it double as decor so everyone can get a good look at it before it’s smashed to bits (sad, but true). Here are 11 Halloween piñatas to get your wheels turning.
