Witch Hat Piñata

These adorable witch hat piñatas can be used as a place card for your Halloween guests that double as a special take home treat, or make them for your kid's class party.  They only take a few minutes, and are easy to make.

Step 1: Cut a 9" circle out of card stock, and cut in half.  You can make yours as big or small as you want it.  We used a 9" plate as a template, but a circle cutter would work well too. 

Step 2: Tape a piece of twine on the straight part of the circle to make a loop to hang your piñata.  It also makes a cute handle so your guest can carry it home!

Step 3: Fold the paper into a cone shape leaving the loop hanging out at the top and tape shut.  This is the top of your witches hat.

Step 4: Fringe one side of the crepe paper.  The easiest way to do this is to fold the crepe paper in layers; cut and pull apart to separate.   

Step 5: Rub your glue stick all over the cone.  Starting at the bottom of the cone, wrap your fringed crepe paper around the cone until you get to the top.  If you run out, just fringe some more crepe paper and continue. 

 STEP 6: Fill your cone with candy and confetti.  We added a couple of spider rings too.

Step 7: Cut a small circle out of card board, and glue it to a 5 inch circle cut out of card stock.  Make a hole in the center of the circle, and poke twine through the hole.  Make a knot at the end so it won't go through the hole.  Using white glue, glue this piece on the bottom of your cone.  This is the brim of your hat.

 Step 8: We used a 1" circle punch, and personalized our piñatas with these name tags also used as place cards at our Halloween party.  Glue the name tag onto the end of the twine, and use the same size circle for the backing.  We choice "Boo" for the back message.

When your guest pulls on the string, all the goodies will come tumbling out! We loved using these cuties as place cards for our party.  Cute....right?
