We don’t usually make pull-string piñatas, but we can accommodate your piñata participants because we are able to adjust the strength of the papier-mâché piñata. Piñatas DO NOT come candy filled, but we know good places to recommend.

We only create using Papier-mâché
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. Well not ours, we only create our piñatas using 100% Papier-mâché. Click here to read more.
During the customization process, we generally like to conceal confetti within small areas of a piñata, where no one can see. This adds excitement to the piñata festivities. Partygoers know they are getting closer to the goodies when they start seeing brightly colored confetti sprinkle down after each "whack". Choose up to four colors and we'll even customize your confetti colors that are inside your piñata.

This Piñata is a custom creation of a Champagne bottle. It was created for a New Years’ Eve party. The cork was created from soft durable foam that was made to fit inside the bottle, right at the top.

This piggy bank Grad piñata was custom created for a High School graduation party, except this one wasn’t used quite so traditionally. Instead of stuffing it full of candy goodies for all the guests, it was set on the present table for the Grad. Guests were invited to drop their cards and monetary gifts inside. Once filled, this piggy bank was hung up to be busted. However there was only to be one participant for this piñata; and that was the grad. Nothing like a little valuable lesson for the grad… with persistence comes good fortune. :p.
