Easy Custom Favors
Make a bucket with each child's name and fill them with personalized memo pads and markers.

For buckets you need:

• Clear or Translucent Plastic Buckets
• Computer
• Paint Markers
• Stickers
• Curling Ribbon
• Clear Tape

Run out the child's name from your computer. Tape it to the inside of the container to use as a guide. Trace over name with a paint marker. Decorate with stickers and curling ribbon.

For pads you need:

• Computer
• Colored Letter-Sized Paper
• White Glue
• Foam Brush
• Wax Paper
• Telephone Books

Instructions:

Use your computer to design a pad for each child. We divided the sheet into 8 pads. Set the names up to face in toward the middle as shown. Print 100 sheets and stack them carefully so they line up perfectly.

Place the pads at the edge of a table on wax paper. Weight them with phone books. The edge of the table, the pads and the phone books should be flush. Make sure you have plenty of weight on the pads pressing the sheets together.

Brush white glue on the weighted edge of the pads. Let dry. Recoat 2 or 3 times. Flip pads around to do the other side. Let dry completely.

Pads can be cut apart with a mat knife and a metal straight edge or your neighborhood printer can machine cut them for a minimal fee.

Separate the pads with a table knife.
