these are adorable.  very well made! 

What a creative transformation!  You two are definitely a couple of kickass parents.  Great way to reuse and repurpose an item. 

Amazing work.  Keep it up.. you're already a pro! 

breathtaking!  Love it!

Love them!  You did a fantastic job. 

Love it!  No doubt your friend will love it too 

Gorgeous piece!  The colors work so well together.

If anyone else makes some I want to see how they come out!  I'm thinking of adding to the line up.. maybe making some koopas, goombas and other assorted characters.  Possibly a big yellow mystery box to store them all too.  I have a wee little Mario addiction 

I love the blue one.  The colors remind me of sunlight dancing on the bottom of a pool.

Super cute!  Makes me want to give paperclay a whirl.
