{DIY} Mini Witch Hat Trick-or-Treat Piñata • Tutorial and Free Printables

Here is a festive Halloween craft I put together for our latest MOPS meeting; DIY Mini Witch Hat Trick-or-Treat Piñatas! The best part of these, they're reusable!

I re-created this craft from tutorials I found on Pinterest by Parents and Studio DIY.  I modified them a bit to make the craft more user friendly and added some of my own Halloween charm by creating the witch hat banner and pull tag.  To download the pinata template and free printables, follow my complete tutorial.
