![]() Take your strip and measure around the outer edge. Once this step is complete, you will want to take strips to cover the edges of your plate or balloon. If you have space around your balloon or plate that is showing your cardboard box, then rotate strips to fill them in.

If you’re using a Plate that matches your theme, you won’t need to cut it at all.

Step 8 – Add your Plate or Balloon to the center of your Frozen Pinata.You will now finish the other sides of your pinata in the same way that you did the side with the slit. Then glue the strips with rotating colors and you can also use white paper. Hold it tight onto the opening and make sure it won’t break when your opening and closing your opening.

Once your corners are complete you will go to the open areas between your corners and again fill in the area rotating colors so that you cover all the areas. You can use your Plate or Balloon as a guide to see how far down you would like to go down for your corners. Then move to the next corner and repeat until you have all the corners complete.
