How to make milk carton Pinatas
Start with an empty milk carton and colourful tissue paper!
Firstly cut the tissue paper into narrow strips and make continuous cuts along one side of the strips, creating fringing for your milk carton pinatas! For an easy way to do this see full video tutorial below..
Secondly apply glue stick to the fringing strips and stick them to the milk carton, starting from the base of the carton.
When your recycled milk carton pinata is completely covered with fringing, you can add other decorations – we used tiny pompoms!
Collect sticks in nature and decorate them with tissue paper, ribbon and other trims – thus creating your own pretty diy pinata sticks!
Thats it you’re done! Your milk carton pinatas are ready to get the party started – and be admired by your guests!
Thank you so much for reading – and watching! – I hope you got inspired to create some awesome recycled milk carton sustainable party crafts!
