How to make a pizza piñata + punny pizza buttons!

My niece turned three last weekend and my Sister-in-law threw one of the cutest, easiest toddler parties ever…..she ordered a bunch of pizzas, had everyone come in their cozies to hang out and enjoy one another. She made simple cupcakes and we ate pizza and opened presents….it was everything a party for a toddler should be. Full of color, good food, lots of laughing, LOADS of presents and a simple concept that won’t break the bank OR leave you exhausted afterwards! 🙂 So, HIGH FIVES Lanae, we love you and your pizza ideas! 🙂

But, she mentioned that she wanted a pizza piñata for the kiddos that were coming. I say AGAIN, why NOT give the toddlers and pre-schoolers a bat to whack a piñata open with everyone in the living room?! What could go wrong?? And thankfully nothing DID go wrong! 🙂 When the piñata opened, it was a mad scramble to pick up all of the fave candy pieces before running off to play together some more! 🙂

This was one of the EASIEST piñatas that I’ve ever made! So today I am sharing with you this tutorial on how to make your own pizza piñata with some tips and tricks! 🙂 It’s basically a triangle with a curved top, decorated to look like a pizza! 🙂 I chose to decorate the cheese in alternating stripes of yellow tissue so that it had some movement and resembled the “mix” of cheese that many pizza places use! 🙂

I used the basic piñata form and idea from the Number Piñata that I had made for Esther’s birthday and just adjusted it for the pizza shape and decor! 🙂

Supply list:
2-3 large pieces of cardboard
Tape (duct, packing, or masking would work great)
Glue
Scissors
tissue paper (kraft color for crust, yellow for cheese and any other “topping” colors)
LOTS of candy
String
optional box cutter or Xacto Knife

  • STEP ONE : Draw and cut out your number
    Draw a “pizza shape” as big or as little as you’d like it…I basically drew a triangle with a rounded top, EASY PEASY, right??!! And remember to make TWO, this will become the front and back. I drew the first one, cut it out and then traced it to the 2nd piece of cardboard. Also cut 2 inch “strips” of cardboard that will become the “sides” of the piñata.
  • STEP TWO : Tape Piñata together to make it 3-D
    With your tape (we used a combo of duct and packing…both VERY STRONG that it proved many wacks before the kids could get it open), start taping the sides to the front and back number. Cap off the ends, and cover the entire sides of the piñata. Leave an opening at the top of the piñata to fill with candy
  • STEP THREE : Fill hole with candy!
    YAY! And pro-tip, fill it early so that you don’t eat all the candy while putting it together. 🙂
  • STEP FOUR : Cut out and fringe your tissue
    Fold your tissue in 1/2 or in 1/4 (I just pulled it out of the package and unfolded the width, but kept it creased in length). This just helps so that you aren’t cutting for days! And it also makes the fringe look thicker and more plush basically essentially I had 2 strips of tissue together that were fringed together so that you couldn’t see through to the cardboard! 🙂
  • STEP FIVE : Glue and decorate
    With your strips cut and prepped, start gluing! This is the fun part because you can decorate it in any way you want to. I began with the back so that I could start on the sides and wrap around the back to the other side (this was the “crust” color). And then moved to the front to cover in cheese and then “decorate” with toppings!
    Start by beading a strip of glue along the top uncut portion of the tissue, and then place it on the piñata! It’s that simple.
  • STEP SIX : String, hang and bang open! 🙂
    FUNNNNNN!

Adding color and lots of little personalities and Adding color and lots of little personalities and faces to our weekend. Because love wins and death is conquered….so yes, this is for sure how we celebrate🎉 
Also, every time I cracked an egg this weekend, I squealed in the sound or noise that I thought the personality of the egg would sound 😂😂😂 obvi.
I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over i I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over if I could! 😂
Also, yes, this is clearly a @claussenpicklesofficial because duh, they are the best! ❤️

The alternate caption could also be “yup…..it’s a Valentine pickle. Because my kids are obsessed with vinegar soaked veggies. Just swipe for the Halloween pickle proof 🥒 “
For the record, I got approximately zero adulting For the record, I got approximately zero adulting things done while constructing this cardboard @encantomovie Casita of my daughters dreams. Except of course inserting many phrases in place of the “we don’t talk about Bruno” song…..ya know, “we don’t talk about dishes no no nooooo. We don’t talk about laundryyyyyy.” 🏠 🎨 💛 
Also, the minute the hot glue was dry, Esther picked up the Casita, hugged it and ran it to the living room where she played most of the afternoon. A moment of Mom win to warm my heart 😭❤️
“May you find the light that guides you home” “May you find the light that guides you home” 
One of my fave song + fave yearly progression that makes me allll happy and sappy. Merry Christmas 🎄 I hope you’re finding light this holiday season!
If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllio If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllion more times: I LOVE PAINNNTTTTT! Here’s the thing……paint is always, 100% paint-overable. If you paint something, step back, live with it for while but just doesn’t feel right…..simply paint over it. Like really that simple. 
I’ve done this a handful of times in our own home….bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways (like so many times in the hallways 😂)! 
Painting to me is a slight reflection of life: nothing is perfect, and even when mistakes or missteps feel overwhelming they are always worth fixing and usually fixable annnnnd it’s amazing how much a  small moment can bring big joy…..or in this case a big moment on a biiigggg wall 🎉🎨
I am doing my last restock of these little nutcrac I am doing my last restock of these little nutcracker buddies tonight at 7pm (central time)! So if you’ve had your eyes on them, especially after seeing them in @hgtvmagazine (gahhhhhhh, still can’t get over this), then be sure to find yourself in my shop tonight at 7pm central!
Even thought I had alllll the intentions of postin Even thought I had alllll the intentions of posting this sooner, I make no apologies because I don’t like living in the land of the “shoulddas”. Especially during this season of intentional slowing down and anticipating the arrival of Christmas. 
Download this coloring advent village and take a few min away to color each house and talk about the season and the way you can shine light! 
PS, download the file on my blog amongst the other holiday themed doodles coloring sheets…..AND we printed our village in gargantuan size from Staples….(their engineer print) and I am not one but mad about the fact that it will take up nearly half a wall! 😂 ❤️🎄
Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full of hot glue burns and can honestly say it makes me happy. Like so thankful and happy! 
Okkayyy well maybe not the burns themselves but the fact that I’m over here, in my little studio space in Wisconsin crafting my heart out and you’re sending the love right back to me with all the support! Support for the doodles and painting and costumes and sewing and other colorful things that I’m eager to share! 
SO thankful. Like I’d really love to give you all a humongous big hug right now.
