Can't find the theme you are looking for or you just a need a great party activity? Then we suggest you Design A Party!

By using sturdy plastic plates, cups and bowls you can insert anything from logos to fabric between the colored and clear plates, cups and bowls. All you have to do is use whatever picture you want and place it on a solid colored 7" or 10 1/4" Plastic Plate, 12 oz. Plastic Cup or 12 oz. Bowl and place a 7" or 10 1/4" Clear Plastic Plate, 12 oz Plastic Cup or 12 oz. Bowl over the top of it. Presto! You've just designed your own theme.

DESIGN A PLATE OR BOWL

1. Center a circle template (the size of the inside circumference of your plate or bowl) over a design you wish to cut out and lightly trace around the outside of the circle.
2. Cut out the design along pencil line.
3. Place the circle in the center of the colored plate or bowl.
4. Place the clear plate or bowl on top.
5. Use your plate or bowl for sandwiches, cake, ice cream, snacks, etc.
6. Change the clear plastic plate or bowl after each use. Save the solid color plate or bowl for another use, just replace the clear plastic.

Some themed printed tablecovers will have designs that will fit 10 1/14" plates. If the design size permits, cut out the figure instead of using the circle pattern. We've designed some Plate Pattern coloring sheets for children to download to make their own plates but you can also use your imagination for many other things. Leaves or small flowers would be interesting and fun for children. Fabric to match your décor. Logos from your company or school. Graduation or wedding announcements. Picture of the guest of honor or the birthday child's picture. Take a picture of each child at the party and let each one make their own special plate to take home. The ideas are endless.

DESIGN A CUP
1. Using white glue and stickers, confetti or other small designs decorate the solid color cup.
2. Place a few of the smaller pieces of confetti in the bottom of the clear plastic cup.
3. Slide the solid color cup into the clear cup, making sure they fit snugly.
4. Slide the solid color cup out of the clear cup and apply a thin line of white craft glue right on the top line of the clear cup. (Do not use glue gun)
5. Carefully slide the solid cup back into the clear cup.
6. Let dry.
7. Send home with each guest as a party favor.
8. Make sure you carefully rinse out only the inside of the cup after each use.

Your imagination is the only limitation to customize your next party or gathering! Use assorted party goods to create designs that are fun, unique and easy to make.
