If you're a Pinterest fanatic like we are, you've probably already seen these adorable piñata letters! They're so fun and festive but we have always wondered how to make these darn cute things! They seem really complicated, but they're actually pretty fun and easy to make. They are a bit time consuming so we would recommend grabbing a few of your girlfriends to make it a group project or keep the word simple and short!
Things you’ll need: Cardboard letters (we found ours at Joann’s), hot glue gun, tissue paper in a few different colors, scissors, a ruler.
Step 1. Keeping the tissue paper folded, cut into sections about 3″ wide.
Step 2. Cut a fringe about 0.5″ long onto either side of the tissue paper section. Make sure you aren’t cutting the folded sides or else you’ll end up with tons of small pieces instead of a nice long strip of fringe.
Step 3. Unfold each section and re-fold it in half lengthwise. Using a hot glue gun, attach strips of tissue paper to the cardboard letter. A ruler comes in handy for making sure you’re gluing each strip straight across.
Step 4. Alternate colors to create your pattern. Continue gluing your tissue paper fringe pieces onto the cardboard until the entire letter is covered. Repeat with as many letters as you want, and spell out something fun!
Have fun crafting!
