Recycle, Reuse, Party Time!

partybag

 

Finished the party bags for Super Secret Liam Pant’s “World According to Liam” party this weekend.

I made it easy and did something useful…I think…

Party bags are filled with activities to keep the kids busy a little when they are home.

I made the bags using paper lunch sacks we already had.  I found on Etsy the Donald Duck Hats & tape.  I found in the bargain bin at Michael’s the Spider Man party favor bags and well cut out shapes to make the Spider Man bags.  I used my own Thanks stamp.

For the inside I used:

  • Table Settings that are Superhero inspired and I broke apart the mat.  There are Superhero masks, Compases, Bow Ties, Pirate Eye Patches, and Superhero bracelets. (Had these)
  • 3 Crayons by randomly choosing three out of three crayon boxes I got.  Sometimes too many crayons are just too many. (Bought 3 boxes of crayons)
  • Tattoos of the Avengers (Bought)
  • Superhero stickers (Had)
  • Hot Wheel stickers (Had)
  • A cup for the child to keep with either Mickey Mouse Club House, Super Man, Spider Man, Avengers, or Disney Cars. (Bought)
  • Coloring book page from a Avengers Coloring Book. (Had)
  • Debating on a mini bag of M&M’s so who knows.

I figured this was a great way to save some money and use the things I over bought from last year or items I bought over the last year that Liam didn’t want to use at that moment I wanted him too.  PLUS this was all within the theme of the party.  It’s all Liam’s favorites.

I’m always looking for ways to reuse or recycle and I think I did a good job this year.
