What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with a piñata? We love creating piñatas for every occasion, and we couldn’t leave out Valentine’s Day!
Find the tutorials for these Valentine’s Day piñata boxes below. We created guides for a hot air balloon, a love bug, and red lips piñata boxes. You can also read below for more piñata box ideas!
It’s been a while since my school days when everyone brings in a homemade box to store their valentines from classmates, but after our hair product pinatas for Rubi’s workshop, we wanted to piñata everything! Thus, Valentine boxes were in order. We made some red lips, a Love Bug with a trunk that opens, and a hot air balloon. Each one I’m trying to figure out how I can display on a permanent basis. They are too cute!
