Stuck fully in the return to school and with the adaptations of the smallest almost overcome, we must not forget or neglect the feeding of our children. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day and to pay special tribute, today we will make this simple craft with the help of our son: personalized breakfast bags to take to school.
To vary a bit from the classic tupper or sandwich wrapped in aluminum foil, we can customize recycled cardboard bags to put breakfast of the day in them. You can do anything you can think of, paint it, hook stickers, decorate it with washi tape, stamp stamps, leave notes or riddles to your children ...
We have taken some cardboard bags that we had at home and we have printed an apple to make them look like real apples. I have used food coloring instead of paint, the apples I used are spectacularly good and at home we are passionate about fruit, so I thought with my two-year-old son better not to play it and just in case, use dye as paint. And I was not mistaken, in a moment of dismissal, zas, bitten apple!
Necessary material
- Paper bag
- 1 apple
- Paints or food coloring (red and green)
- Adhesive paper (I used one of slate)
- Punching machine (or scissors)
- Brushes
- Washi tape
- Felt pens
How to make custom bags for school lunch
- Whether you use food coloring or watercolors, mix the paint with a little water with the help of a brush.
- We paint the apple split in half red (or whatever you want) and stamp it in the paper bag as if it were a seal.
- In my case I have left a bag for Lucas, my son, to be entertained by putting the apple seal. Be careful, it is possible that the stamp stamped in any place but in the bag is finished, so provide for a child-proof space.
- We paint the rabito of green color to the apple.
- Then we decorate the bag as we like, children will have fun using washi ribbons of different colors. You can also make cuts with magazines, paint with markers ...
- With the help of a die cutter (or scissors), we can give the slate sticker original shapes. You put an original note and seal the bag with your breakfast inside.
