Most Impressive Party Favors

One of the best parts of birthdays is sharing the fun with party favors for all your guests. Our first how-to breaks down the steps of transforming a paper bag to look like a glow-in-the-dark Stormtrooper. Once the bag is decorated, fill it with take-home fun like a glow-stick “lightsaber” holder and Star Wars goodies like stickers and small toys.

Materials

• White paper favor bags
• Glow-in-the-dark white paint
• Black paper
• Scissors, cutting knife or electronic cutting machine
• Glue stick
• Glow stick bracelets
• Hole punch
• White card stock
• Online printable provided

Instructions

For the Stormtrooper Favor Bag:

• Get white party favor bags, and for an extra special touch start by painting them with glow-in-the-dark white paint.
• While the bags are drying, use a pair of scissors, a cutting knife or an electronic cutting machine to cut out Stormtrooper pieces on a piece of black paper. (Ensure there is adult supervision for using scissors and sharp objects.) Download template here.
• Next, use a glue stick to adhere the black paper cutouts to the white bag.

For the Lightsaber Holder:

• Download our template to print and cut out the favor template on white card stock. (Ensure there is adult supervision for using scissors and sharp objects.)

• Punch two holes on each end of the card, then stick either end of the glow stick bracelet through each hole to hold it in place
