Brand Your Own Birthday

The party aisle at your local megastore is filled with prefab cups, napkins, and goody bags. Why not make your own party stuff with inexpensive picnic ware?

1. Draw a cool character.
2. Scan or photocopy your character and print it out in different sizes. Stick it on paper cups, goody bags, and flatware wrapped in a strip of paper.
3. For a quick and easy placemat, tape together two sheets of paper with your character printed on it.

More ideas: Put your character on your own custom party favors. Send your buddies home with a pack of stickers, a tin of mints, or a t-shirt, all imprinted with your awesome character.
