To start it off, I googled for some free clipart images and copied them into powerpoint (cos I dont know how to use publisher or similar). From there, I design based on what I want and fit into the size that I want). After several attempts, I was happy with what I have designed and proceeded to print them out into ordinary A4 paper. Used paper glue to stick them onto the bags. You can also use double-sided tape but you will need quite a bit.
The whole idea of party packs came after I realised I had a big bunch of paper bags I saved up from my frequent takeaway lunches from this sandwich place.
With the bag planned, of course I have to fill it with something right? So instead of party hats & toys, I decided to try my hand at preparing some customised mineral water bottles and also some food/snacks.
Needed food/snacks that could last a couple of days as I needed to prepare them over the weekend, so ended up with a box of snacks (candy, chocolate, sweets) and another healthier box of store bought mini cakelets which could last up to a week. Perfect!
Seems like a lot of work, but really, I had quite a bit of fun doing. All it takes was just cut & paste job. Of course does not look as professional as those that actually supply/cater for high-class parties but I was very happy with how it all turned out. Did a little each night and it worked out well.
Bryan was very very proud at school at the day of the celebrations. His teacher was also very excited that each & every kid in his class had a chance to take home a bag of goodies of their own. Am so glad the kids & teachers enjoyed it & appreciated it so much!! Am sure I will make them again for his next birthday since next year will be the last year at this kindy :D

Good job, mummy! The party packs look fabulous. Love the contents too. Thanks for the idea... I'm going to start saving those small, transparent fruit & veggies boxes too ;)
Birthdays were simpler back in our time. kids these days are just so lucky. My time, can eat KFC for birthday is more than good enough!
Such a lovely customised party supplies and theme too! Mummy's dedication and enthusiasm is A+. Bet he had the awesomest party ever!
