Bluey Piñata: Where To Get One + The Easiest DIY Option You Haven’t Tried Yet
Bluey continues to dominate kids entertainment in 2025 with the hype around the new season — and kids still adore Bluey, Bingo and the whole Heeler family. Bluey is playful, wholesome, funny, and feels relatable, so naturally Bluey birthday parties are STILL a top pick this year.
Bluey party decor is everywhere… except one thing:
Bluey piñatas are actually surprisingly hard to get.
You’ve probably already noticed:
- supermarkets have lots of Bluey themed decor but not piñatas
- Etsy has them — but prices range wildly depending on the artist + size
- shipping is expensive (piñatas are big + delicate!)
- shipping times can take weeks
- and sometimes they arrive squished or damaged (very common)
So what do you do when you want something special for your Bluey party… but getting the perfect piñata feels like a headache?
There is another option most people don’t even know exists.
You can make this adorable Bluey piñata at home — and it’s genuinely easy even if you’ve never made a piñata in your life.
To make it beginner-friendly, I created a printable Bluey template.
This template gives you pre-measured pieces and a step-by-step tutorial, so you can finish a party-ready piñata in just a few hours — without stress, without struggling to draw the character, and without spending $$$.
Also: this piñata can be made as a pull-string piñata if you prefer (link to pull-string tutorial).
What size should a Bluey piñata be?
Most kids birthday parties use a piñata between 40cm – 55cm.
My printable template is designed to:
54cm H / 42cm W / 10cm D
21in H / 16.5in W / 4in D
This height looks perfect in photos, fits a good amount of candy, and is not too heavy.
Why DIYing your Bluey piñata is a great alternative
- it’s way more affordable
- it’s easy and fun (yes — even for total beginners)
- you don’t have to wait weeks for shipping
- you don’t risk damage in transit
- you can reuse cardboard and a paper bag (eco-friendly)
- can be made as pull-string (watch the tutorial)
What materials do I need?
Super affordable supplies like:
- cardboard (Amazon box)
- craft paper bag
- crepe paper streamers (cheap on Amazon / local craft store)
- or tissue paper
- packing tape
- glue stick and hot glue
- plastic bags or recycled newspaper for optional volume
How the template works
- some pieces are printed + covered with fringe paper (super easy — no tracing or guessing)
- some pieces are used straight from the printer and glued as-is
Steps:
- download the printable Bluey template
- print + cut the pieces
- tape your shape together using cardboard
- cover decorative parts using fringe
- add face + detail pieces
- fill with candy and hang!
