DIY Love Notes Piñata

A piñata is pretty straight forward to make, but it’s such a fun idea to use in weddings! Vanessa from Alchemy Fine Events tells us how to recreate this darling wedding piñata with “love notes”:

Blow up balloon (oversized balloons work best), soak newspaper strips in water and glue, then cover the balloon in them. After the balloon dries, cover it in the cut music sheets. Pop the balloon and cut a small section to fill up with the love ‘notes’. Reattach the cut piece and cover it with the music sheet strips.

    Hmmm I am thinking I would take this a step further. I love the idea of asking our wedding guests to write us a love note, or advice, wishes, etc…and have them stuff it into a pinata that we will break open on our 1 year anniversary :) sweet!
