Do you add all 3 layers on the same day?

[@thediynuts]

yes, you just have to be careful that it can dry easily. Rotating it as it dries and placing it in the sun will help.

Is there a way to use glue instead of flour. I hope you respond soon. My birthday is on the 28th

[@thediynuts]

Hi. I have never made a piñata with glue and water, but I think it would work. We have done smaller paper mache projects with kids that use 1/2 glue and 1/2 water mixture. Instead of newspaper we would use those brown paper towels (or thinner paper) because they can form easier. I would love to know if your piñata works out!

how breakable is this piñata with 3 layers? once my family made one that the kids could not break

[@thediynuts]

It is doable, but does take a good swing. You could always add a small crack so that it breaks easily or try two layers.
