Looking for the ultimate sweet for this year’s trick-or-treat? Join LA based designer and maker Robert Mahar in creating old-school surprise ball party favors dressed up as super-sized kawaii candy!
Create the perfect gift for your favorite kid (big or little!) this Halloween and rediscover the fun of a vintage craft last popularized in 1950s America. Surprise balls consist of small treats and trinkets, jokes and candies artfully concealed in hundreds of feet of crepe paper streamers. Recipients are showered with fun as they unroll their surprise balls, revealing the goodies you’ve selected and creating a happy mess!
Each participant will learn techniques, tips and tricks to successfully create their own surprise ball party favors – stylized as super cute kawaii candy. This project is highly customizable and once you learn the basic construction methods, you’ll find yourself recreating the fun at home – for every holiday and festive occasion! Get inspired – check out Robert’s Pinterest board of surprise balls to see how others have styled and decorated their versions of these fun novelties.
