Classic Pooh Party
 |
| Use Classic Pooh giftwrap paper (Kathya used a beautiful garden pattern with 2" blocks and lots of Pooh and Tigger and Piglet blocks). Cut the paper into 8"x8" squares (make sure there was at least one or two pictures of the "old" Pooh in each. Make a frame out of this square by cutting out a 2"x2" block from the middle. Now you have what looked like a picture frame. Next, using cardstock paper (in a color coordinating with the giftwrap pattern)write the information about the party onto the cardstock. Trim the cardstock to the 8"x8" size, then frame it with the giftwrap "frame" so that the information about the party is in the center, and there is a 2-inch Pooh border all around it. Then punch two small holes at the top of the invitation, and thread some raffia ribbon to tie into a bow. They look very elegant and beautiful, and cost less than $2 for 20 invitations! Any small pattern giftwrap paper will work for the frame. Kathya bought additional rolls of the giftwrap paper to cover the main table and to cover the goody bags. |

| You'll need some 1-quart size take-out containers (the ones with the wire handle). You'll be using it upside-down. Take out the wire handle. Make a small hole on either side towards the bottom of the container (to put a new handle). Wrap it with the same kind of giftwrap paper used for the invitations, and make a frilly edge with crepe paper. Leave the bottom (which is really the top of the take-out container unwrapped so you can insert the goodies. Add a handle made out of raffia ribbon. After stuffing the container with the goodies, close the flaps and attach a small ribbon to the new bottom of the container (really the top of the container, but it's upside down) so that the child can pull it and the "piņata" will "burst" open. |
