    DIY Pinata

    Have you all heard of this stuff called Oly*Fun?  It's a great new material that is a cross between paper and fabric. The best part... it's water-resistant. AWESOME!!!!

    I've been thinking about this great material and trying to decide on a project that not only optimizes the fun colors but I could use outside. That's when I thought, hey how about a pot pinata?

    Well then after telling some friends that name they were like... umm, that sounds like a different kind of pot. Oops. Nope, not what I was talking about, so now we're calling this little lady DIY Piñata Planters. 🙂

    Here's how you make them.
