How to Make Piñata Christmas Tree Ornaments
Here is how to make Piñata Christmas Tree Ornaments.
- Draw out basic tree triangles on the cardboard. The sides of the triangle will need an extra 1/2 inch or centimetre to make a tab for the sides.
- Cut out the triangles, being sure to cut outside the tabs (don’t cut off the perimeter tabs).
- Fold the tabs over to create the sides.
- Tape the pieces of cardboard together to make the empty pinata form. Imagine you’re making a triangular Smartie box.
- Cut a few strips of green crepe paper of the streamer roll.
- Cut little slots into the side of the crepe paper to create a fringe.
- Tape or glue the crepe paper onto the cardboard form, starting at the bottom of the tree triangle.
- Decorate the tree ornament with pom poms.
- Add a ribbon loop to hang the ornament on the tree!
