Years ago I thought it would be cool to find a little piñata to hang from the rear view mirror in my car. I searched several places and could not find anything so I created one myself. After some trial and error, I finally created my little piñatas! Tissue paper, glue, thick paper, string, tape, and a little creativity, is all I needed to get the job done. Each little piñata is no bigger than the size of my palm, about 4 inches tall and wide. They all come with a hang string and each has a secret item inside that makes them rattle. They are all handmade in Los Angeles, CA. Artist Background My name is Isaías D. Rodríguez, also known as the Little Piñata Maker.
