About Make My Piñata

Quick answer

Make My Piñata is a free, bilingual guide to making piñatas at home, published by All Pinatas, a coming-soon marketplace for handmade and custom piñatas based in the Phoenix, Arizona area. The guide has no ads or trackers and sells nothing. All Pinatas isn't taking orders yet; you can join its launch waitlist or apply as a maker.

Who publishes Make My Piñata?

Make My Piñata is a free guide to making piñatas at home, in English and Spanish. It is published by All Pinatas, a coming-soon marketplace for handmade and custom piñatas based in the Phoenix, Arizona area.

The guides cover the whole process: choosing a method, building a balloon papier-mâché or cardboard shell, adding a pull-string trapdoor, decorating with paper fringe, and choosing fillers by age. Every page has a Spanish version, Haz Tu Piñata, written for readers in Mexico and Spanish speakers in the US.

All Pinatas plans to connect party planners with independent piñata makers. The marketplace is not open yet: it does not sell or ship piñatas, take orders or process payments. If you'd like to hear when it launches, you can join the waitlist.

How are these guides written?

We write the way an experienced maker explains things at the worktable: real materials, realistic quantities and honest drying times, with the steps in the order you'll actually do them. Where results depend on your climate, your paper or your candy, we give ranges and say so.

  • Safety without false promises. We never say a piñata is safe for a particular age. We give practical guidance and ask that adults supervise children.
  • No ads and no trackers. This guide isn't a store, and nothing on it is sponsored.
  • Corrections welcome. If a step didn't work for you or something is unclear, email get@allpinatas.com and we'll review it.

Do you make piñatas, or need one made?

If you already build piñatas that people ask about, you can apply as a maker ahead of launch. Applying is a review step, not instant approval or a promise of orders. If you'd rather have someone else make yours, the waitlist is the place to start.

All Pinatas also publishes sister guides: buypinatas.com (a buyer's guide), buildmypinata.com (custom design), findpinatas.com (choosing a maker) and ordermypinata.com (order planning).
