Starbucks Piñata

When your daughter says she wants a

Starbucks piñata, you make it happen!

I was on the hunt! I went to several carnicerias, dulcerias, Party City & even Walmart! Piñatas of all kinds; Paw patrol, Baby Shark, Mickey, & even a poop emoji but no Starbucks piñatas… *Insert nervous chuckle*

How the heck am I supposed to make a piñata!? 

I’m walking down the party isle in Walmart, feeling so defeated, and then I saw it… Pushed back behind some other busted piñatas, there she was! A beat up, CUPCAKE! I saw it and envisioned my next project.

ITEMS USED:

Hot Glue | Kraft Paper | Toilet Paper Roll | Green Acrylic Paint | Green & White Cardstock | Cricut Explore Air 2

I started by bunching up little ~2″x2″ squares of the kraft paper and hot glued them onto the bottom part of the cupcake.

Then, I made sure to snag the next toilet paper roll before it hit the trash. Painted that sucker with green paint to mimic the straw and (once dried) hot glued that to the top of the cupcake.

Lastly, I found a free Starbucks logo SVG file and let my Cricut do the rest. I glued the cut out cardstock together and then glued that to the bottom of the cupcake.

Voilà! A Starbucks Piñata!

$7.88 and a bunch of hot glue later, we had ourselves a happy 10 year old who got her birthday piñata!
