Piranha Plants

The last project I have to share from Akemi's b-day party are the goodie bags. After weeks of trying to figure out what to do, I came up with the Piranha Plant. These venus flytrap looking plants are a staple in Mario games and were the perfect accent to the goodie bags. Pictured here is the prototype.... I ended up finishing them off by covering the sticks with green duct tape. Bought some cheap plastic flower pots from Walmart and shoved all the goodies inside. I don't know who loved them more... the kids or the parents!? Here's a close up of the plant. And here's all of them ready to go to the party.. We had so much fun and I'm burnt to a crisp! It was nice to see everyone again- including the Ho family from Honolulu! Need to do this again next year!

OMG!!! These piranha plant favors are just out of this world. Wow, they look pretty complicated to make, but I can see why everyone at the party enjoyed them so much. I'll be little Akemi was so pleased and proud that her mommy is so talented!
