I was thinking of having one wire go from side to side some how and then attach another wire to it that comes out at the top of it. But I’m not sure if that would work or how I would make it so that it does ruin my piñata.
Answer from Piñata Boy
First of all, this is going to be an amazing piñata!
What I would do in this case is use three hanging hooks in the castle, each with a with short string so that they all come together at one point above the castle, and hang the piñata from there. The reason for this is that the castle piñata has a large footprint, so if you have only one hook and you want the piñata to hang level, that hanging hook has to be placed exactly above the center of mass of the filled piñata. It’s hard to determine where that point is when you have a large or nonsymmetric piñata, but with three hanging hooks you can level the hanging piñata after it’s finished and filled.
Having three hanging hooks has the added benefit that the stress of the hanging is spread out over three points. A heavy piñata can start to deform near the hanging hook if there is too much weight pulling down, but with three hanging hooks your castle top should remain flat. Just make sure the top of the castle is really well fortified with papier mâché. The top of the castle isn’t a target area, but it does have to support the weight of the filled piñata without bending out of shape.
Check out the Adding the hanging hook page to see how I normally make hanging hooks for my piñatas. I do it this way because I usually make large and heavy piñatas, and this type of hanging hook will reliably support more weight. My method isn’t the only way to make a hanging hook for a piñata, though, so don’t feel like you have to do it this way if you already have another way in mind.
Good luck!
