Party Recap
I found the Konnichiwa party on this site by Risa B. and fell in love. Now how to adapt this to fit a 12 year old~and in came the Harajuku inspiration. The girls all came dressed Harajuku style. They made hats to go with their outfits, painted kokeshi dolls, and painted kanji symbols on t-shirts. They danced alot! Such a sweet, cute and super fun party!!

Budget
~under 100-- incudes crafts, food and some decorations. Alot of the decor I pulled from other parties I have done, and I made the invites and printables. I used $1 wrapping paper on the table and backdrops. I use wrapping paper alot to decorate with, you can find beautiful inexpensive paper and jazz up your tables and backdrops for pennies.

All of their crafts fit into takeout chinese boxes, along with some funky hairbows, chopsticks and green tea bags.

Hi Lisa, I made them, you can get all the supplies at Michaels. The bottoms are unfinished wood cups or candle cups, the top head is a ball with a one flat side, and the 'hair' are small balls. I can't remember if I used E6000 glue or hot glue to attach, but either will work. They all come in packages in the unfinished wood/craft section.
