| Homemade Keroppi goody bags. All the planning & prepping is worth it to see how excited she is about her upcoming party. |
The kid is having a small-ish (school friends & immediate family) birthday party at the park. To reduce party-planning stress, I have been methodically tackling a little party prep each night.
Then, yesterday:
"Mommy, I asked my Magic 8 Ball if this is going to be the best party ever & it answered, DEFINITELY!"
Oh yeah. No pressure.

Where did you purchase your bags from? Any tips/tutorials on how you made keroppi? Thank you!
Thanks for your question. I found these green handle bags at Party City. I had also seen some at Target but they were a little smaller and I had loads to put in the party bags. For the face: Eye circles: searched on Amazon for circle stickers (2 1/2 or 3 inches)measure your bag to see what will fit. For the pupils and cheeks, I had circle punches at home - used them on pink and green cardstock and used double stick tape to get them onto the bag. Finally, I just hand cut the mouth out of black cardstock. You can use construction paper too. If you can't find the circle stickers, just find a can or glass and trace around it for your template. Good luck! These were a hit and I loved that they definitely looked home made! Another tip - get some green balloons and use the same faces on them.
Thank you so much! I will definitely look at Party City and Target. I am not looking for anything big, but the right size. Do you remember what size you got? Your bags look pretty big. :)
I still had one bag left. The bags are approximately 9 1/4" tall by 8" wide. Eyes are 3 1/4" in diameter for white circles, 1 1/4" in diameter for black pupils, pink cheeks are 1 1/2" in diameter, and mouth measures approx 4 1/2" wide. Hope that helps!
