Pinata Frame

Easter's over and the next major holiday is....Independence Day? That means I need to start remembering what my "normal" home decor is...luckily there IS Cinco de Mayo as another excuse to have some holiday decor! And this pinata frame will do just that...my only regret is not making it GIGANTIC!! So start by gathering your supplies:



Cut your tissue paper or crepe paper (streamers are also a great alternative) into 1 inch stripes then fringe them, either with fringe scissors or using regular scissors.

I opted to 2 layers of tissue paper for each "row".  So start by putting a very thin layer of white glue down on the frame. A little goes a long way- you don't want your paper soaked. Then gently add more glue on top of the paper and layer the second strip of the same color on top.

Once you've filled up the frame, it'll look like an overgrown shaggy pinata.  Let it dry completely.

Working from the back to better see the frame, give it a trim all the way around & inside.


Fill that frame with an appropriate print, like the one I that one shared a few days ago (here), and all your need is some tacos and margaritas! Happy Fiesta-ing!
