Most likely, yes! Our patterns are designed to be printed on standard 8.5x11" printer paper. Just make sure to set your printer to “Fit to Page” (or 100% scale) so everything lines up just right!
Digital Project Download: Piñata
Build Your Own Piñata!
Why are piñatas terrible at keeping secrets? They always break under pressure!
We'll email you a printable PDF pattern you can glue to cardboard, cut with your ChompSaw and assemble at home. Before you know it you'll have a llama you can decorate, fill with goodies, and bust out (& open!) at your next party.
What's Inside: Printable patterns, a guide for assembly, and step-by-step video instructions (linked here)
Reminders: Cardboard piñatas are engineered to be just breakable enough! It helps to score along the fold lines of your cardboard box and use tape (preferably painters tape or masking tape) only where you need it to close your box. You'll also want to hang your piñata from a single point so it swing freely. Half the fun is the first good whack!
What You'll Need:
- Cardboard
- Rope (for hanging)
- Double-sided tape
- Masking tape
- Glue stick
- ChompSaw (for cutting)
- Scoring tool (for folds)
- Tissue paper (optional for decorating)
Note: This is a digital product – no physical items will be shipped.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out our pattern guide to understand what each symbol means!
We color-code our patterns to show what to do with each piece, so printing on color will work best. But if colored ink isn't available to you, just watch each pattern's instruction video to see what to do!
A standard gluestick will work! Make sure to really glue down the edges of each piece for the best results once you're cutting.
