Alongside the craft revolution, piatas have experienced a huge revival in recent years. Enter Piata Party the ultimate DIY craft book for those wanting to create their own version of this party accessory.
The book starts with a crash course inpiata construction, and is followed by 30 piata designs from a pizza slice and tropical cocktail piata, to disco ball earrings and flower power cake toppers. Not every design is actually a piata some take the basic concepts of fringing and paper craft and turn them into something completely new. Each design features the author's colourful and bold signature style, and covers a range of techniques to cater to all skill levels. Piata Party is a fresh take on a practical craft book that will appeal to all sorts of makers.
