Idecided to make a pinata for my daughter's birthday. I followed these instructions from this OhHappyDay tutorial, but made a few minor changes. I used washi tape to hold it together. To make the scallops even I created a cardboard template and traced it with a pencil. I also used a glue runner to adhere the tissue paper. I was afraid the Elmer's glue would be too messy with 2 littles running around. It turned out great, and held up perfect during the party and broke when the last kid hit it. It was definetly a labor of love, but it won't stop me from making one again in the future.

That pinata is ADORABLE! Serious labor of love. Well done, Mom!
Also, keep us posted if your daughter seems to suddenly and sporadically lose her mind now that she's three. Mine's become a sweet, loving, moody maniac since her third birthday. Ha! Good luck :)
