DIY Treasure Chest Piñata

posted in Family & Kids on 3/30/2014

What You'll need: -Empty Diaper Box -hot glue gun and glue -brown packing paper -glue stick -rope for handles ( my husband and I just used braided scrap fabric) -any decorations like jewels, paint, etc.

Fold over edges and hot glue together. There will be a hole in the top. You'll use that later to put the candy in.

Use the masking tape to make a stronger hold for the box. Tape all edges, bottom, and corners to cover holes.

Use glue stick to wrap the sides and bottom of the box only in packing paper. Leave the holes on the side open. With flaps attached.

This is what you will have. Take your rope and make a good size loop. Place it around the handle flap and hot glue it down to the inside of the box and pull thru hole. So you have two handles you'll use those handles when hanging to have the kids hit it.

Next cut packing paper to glue to the top of the box. At this point you will put your candy and goodies in. Then cover top with paper as well. Then just decorate as you like. We used gold duct tape, black paint to make it look like wood, sticky craft jewels, necklace beads and rings.
