Piñatas are not just for parties anymore! Learn how to transform a simple piñata into an adorable piece of wall art with this tutorial!
Yes – I know it is Fall. But I also know it is 90 degrees outside AND I found this amazing piñata at a yard sale, so I COULD NOT HELP MYSELF!!! Check out how I created this fun wall hanging in just a few minutes with my Cricut and Xyron machines. {FTC disclaimer: I received these machines for free, but was not paid to write this post. This post contains affiliate links which means I may get a few pennies (at no cost to you) if you buy something!}
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
- pinata ($3 at a yard sale thank yeeewwwww very much!)
- Cricut Explore or Maker
- glitter cardstock
- patterned paper
- Xyron machine – I used the Creatopia (see notes below)
- white pen – I used Bic White-Out
- assorted embellishments

HOW TO TRANSFORM A YARD SALE PINATA TO FUN HOME DECOR
Measure across the piñata, then size the phrase and circle to fit, and cut using your Cricut.
Doodle around the outer edge of the circle. If you – like me – do not have a steady hand, go around the circle several times with the pen. It looks like you meant the lines to be “artsy”!
Run the circle and the phrase through your Xyron. I used the Creatopia because of the size of the project – it was a limited-edition machine that does 12″ across. If you ever see one for sale – GET IT! They still make refills for it, but the machines are not available at retail. The size is PERFECT for large projects or doing multiple projects at once.
Adhere the circle to the BACK of the piñata (the stickers on the front were too big, and I couldn’t get them off without ruining the surface), then add the phrase and your embellishments.
Hang that baby and enjoy the sunshine!
