Ever Been Disappointed by a Piñata?
​
Have you ever bought a piñata from the party store, and been disappointed because
come party time it just wouldn’t break open. Well the reason for this is because they are made from corrugated card board. Yep, that’s right, the same corrugated cardboard that moving boxes are made from.
​
Corrugated Cardboard is a hard enough material to break through, add that to the shape of the generic piñata with its spliced cardboard angles giving it form, all act as a reinforcement to the entire piñata.
Now for any other product, you would pick strong and durable.
This however is not what you want for your party piñata.
You want it to be fun, coordinating, and most importantly breakable.
That’s why we only create our piñatas using 100% papier-mâché; not cardboard.
