Modeled after traditional piñatas, these personal-size candy holders tear open easily, revealing a cache of sweets inside. And since they're a cinch to put together, they make great favors for a school party.
| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Toilet paper tube
Tissue paper Paper streamer Scissors Glue | |
| Seasons: Cinco de mayo | |
| Materials: tissue paper, toilet paper tube | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Make a cut along the length of a toilet paper tube, then
roll the cardboard into a cone and secure it with tape. |
| 2. |  Roll the cone in green tissue paper, taking care to fully
cover the tip, and tape the tissue paper in place. |
| 3. |  Remove the cardboard and fill the paper cone with small
candies. |
| 4. |  Tightly twist closed the top to create the chili's
stem. |
| 5. |  For the fringe, accordion-fold a 25-inch length of red
paper streamer and cut slits ¼ inch apart along one side,
stopping ¼ inch from the edge. |
| 6. |  Unfold the streamer and place the chili's bottom point at
one end of the fringe. Slowly wrap the fringe around the chili in
a tight upward spiral, sticking it in place with a glue stick as
you go. Trim any excess fringe and allow the glue to dry. Come
fiesta time, partyers can simply tear the tissue paper to break
open the piñata. |
