How to make a Gender Reveal Pinata

Step 1… Plan your Gender Reveal Pinata design

There are several options for the design of your box. Of course, you can be simple, with a plain box with a message on the side. Or be more elaborate in the decor. So here are some of our favorite design choices for you.

Words for your Gender Reveal Pinata that work well include:

This is…

Male or Female?

Pink or blue? Time to find out!

Brother or sister?

He or she? We want to see!

Twinkle twinkle little star, we wonder what you are!

Step 2… Gather your supplies!

Now that you’ve planned your design, you’re ready to get started! This is what you will need…

Step 3 – Assemble your Gender Reveal Pinata!

• First, put your box together and secure the top with packing tape. Remember, the bottom needs to stay open at this stage.
• Then cover the box with your chosen paper or paint. If covered with paper, wrap it like a gift.
• You remember cut out the pieces for the flaps and tape down to keep it nice!
• If you leave it plain, just assemble your box!
• Now securely attach the 2 pull strings with tape to the inside of the large flaps on the base of your box. Make sure you fasten them well!
• Also, you will need to attach some string to the top of the box so you can hang it. The best way to do this is to poke 2 small holes in each of the top corners of the box to thread your string through.

Step 4 – Decorate!

• Now decorate your box however you want!
• Use super cute and easy stickers.
• Print and paste designs or words
• Keep it simple with pink and blue dots and hearts.

Step 4 – Insert Balloons!

• I cant can be confusing to figure out how many wolves to put in your box. However, you don’t want to overfill it, because the balloons can get stuck and not come out. In my experience, around 12-14 balloons all you need
• Remember, for a Gender Reveal Pinata you don’t want to fill the balloons with helium because you want them to float down, not up!
• First, turn your box upside down and fill with your balloons, confetti, and streamers.
• Then close the base of the box, leaving the 2 pull strings dangling. Use tape to loosely secure the box. Remember, you want the pull string to open the box so don’t over secure the box!
• If you are not “in on the surprise” you will need to get a friend or relative who knows the gender of the baby to do it for you!!

Now your DIY Gender Reveal Pinata is ready for the big reveal!

Then, gather your closest friends and family, count down from 10, and pull the strings! Finally, your pink or blue balloons pop and your baby’s gender is revealed. Remember to have your camera ready!
