# Christmas Cookie-Shaped Piñatas Studio DIY Teaches How to Make a Piñata from Household F By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-12-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-a-pinata References: [studiodiy](http://www.studiodiy.com/2013/12/12/diy-gingerbread-man-pinata/) This adorable tutorial from [Studio DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragments-becoming) teaches how to make a piñata shaped like a gingerbread man. The piñata is inexpensive to make and if you’re a crafter, you might even have all the supplies you need already. The gingerbread piñata is made from cardboard and taped around the edges — leaving a spot to fill it with candy. With a template, recreating this gingerbread piñata is a snap. After the body of the gingerbread piñata has been made, the piñata really starts to take on its shape with the addition of fringed strips of brown crepe paper. To add the finishing touches to the piñata, Studio DIY used a few strips of felt and some gumballs for buttons. But just like a [gingerbread cookie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-cutout-cookies), the piñata could be decorated any way you like. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **DIY Piñatas:** The trend of creating DIY piñatas allows people to personalize and customize their own party decorations. - **Gingerbread-themed Crafts:** The trend of gingerbread-themed crafts provides opportunities for creative individuals to make festive decorations for the holiday season. - **Inexpensive Party Supplies:** The trend of using inexpensive materials for party supplies opens up opportunities for budget-friendly celebrations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Craft and Hobby:** The craft and hobby industry can tap into the trend of DIY piñatas by offering DIY kits and specialized supplies for creating personalized piñatas. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can capitalize on the gingerbread-themed crafts trend by providing gingerbread-themed decorations and accessories for the holiday season. - **Event Planning:** The event planning industry can take advantage of the trend of inexpensive party supplies by offering affordable party packages and services for budget-conscious customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Edible Holiday Decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edible-holiday-decoration.md) - [Haunted Gingerbread Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haunted-gingerbread.md) - [DIY Pretzel Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snyders-pretzel-cabins.md) - [Ready-to-Decorate Christmas Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcghees-bakery-gingerbread-men.md) - [Festive Cereal Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cingerbread-house-kit.md) - [Modernist Gingerbread Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-dreamhouse.md) - [DIY Embroidery Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-stitched-ornament-kits.md) - [Unconventional Gingerbread Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unconventional-holiday-houses.md) - [Holiday Film Cookie Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddy-the-elf-hat-sugar-cookie-kit.md)
