Draw a block-shaped question mark on a piece of sturdy cardboard. Cut out the shape with sturdy scissors.

Use your cutout as a template to create a mirror image or a second question mark.

Cut long 5-inch-wide strips from the cardboard. These strips will be used for the sides of the piñata. You may have to bend them a bit to get them to fit in the curves and corners.

Glue the stripes to the question mark pieces to make the inside and outside of the piñata.

Cut two holes in the top of the question mark for the string to hang from. Then cut two holes at the bottom to hang the point. Drill the two matching holes in the top of the dot so it can be attached to the bottom of the question mark. The further apart the holes are for the dot, the less it will move and rotate.

Thread the thread through the holes at the top and secure with a square knot. Thread the string through the four holes (two at the bottom of the question mark and two at the dot). Measure the length you want the point to hang. We use about eight inches of string, and it hangs about three inches below the question mark. Tie a square knot in the rope to make a circle.

Cutting fringes on party streamers is the slowest step. To make fringe, simply cut slits halfway down the streamer every half inch or so. If you fold the streamers multiple times, you can make multiple layers and cut more than once.

Start at the bottom of the piñata, apply a layer of glue in a line, and attach the fringed strap. Before finishing the back, go to the next step.

Cut a flap on the back of the question mark and insert your blue or pink candy. Then secure it with tape. Finish by wrapping the question mark on the fringe fringes.
