One of the party favors for the Mario party, were these Piranha plants. I bought some small plastic glasses at a party store (in the wedding section) and Jefferson & I painted them to look like the piranha plants in the game.
Since the paint can easily come off with water, I didn't want to use them as actual cups. Instead, we filled them with small gumballs and gave them out as favors at the end of the party.
These are so cute! Where did you buy the cups?

as it is written, she bought them at a party store in the wedding section.

Hi! These are great! What type of paint did you use on the cups?

Christy-
I just used acrylic paints, so I didnt put liquid in them. I didnt want paint to come off in the kids mouths.

Love this idea! I'm planning a Mario party for my dd and have started making these. Just waiting for the red paint to dry before finishing with the white! Thanks for sharing such a great idea.

I just got the paint at my local craft store. Michaels. You can get it in the craft section of Walmart as well.

Hello, I loved your idea and I did the plant cups for my son's party. I wanted to share a picture with you, how can I do it? Thank you.
