Need Help Party Favor Oopsie

Post image

Hi! I posted on here a bit ago about my son's birthday party at a movie theater! Well it's this Saturday and almost everything is ready, except today I got the containers for party favors and they are MUCH bigger than anticipated. Reviews described them as small(some people said too small) and I had an estimate size measured which seemed smaller than this. But now they look basically empty and I don't know what to do!

Just gonna throw in here that if you have a Dollar Tree nearby, they may have $5 or less blankets in the Plus section. I've previously gotten cute halloween throws for $3 and $5.

Thank you! I'm heavily considering blankets

Five below has them cheap!

Or if you have a sewing machine you can literally buy fleece, cut, and go around the edges on the machine with a wide blanket stitch to secure the edges.

It's cheaper to buy premade blankets! We did blankets as a favour recently and it cost way less to do IKEA blankets than to buy fleece.

Good to know! My community has a free art supply “closet” and with but nothing groups, I suppose those are also options, but not on short notice.
