How I made Pokemon Lunch Boxes for a Pokemon Party

Last year it was all about the heroes in a half shell when it came to my son's party theme. This year - we are loving Pokemon Go, and therefore my son has asked for a Pokemon party.

My first job was to source some Pokemon lunch boxes.... and I couldn't find any! I wasn't going to let that stop me from giving out Squirtle and Bulbasaur boxes to name a few, so I made my own!

what materials are needed to make Pokemon Party Boxes

Boxes, Cards, a printer, a craft knife and glue are the basic ingredients to make Pokemon Party Boxes

My first job was to create a file with the 'easiest to cut out' Pokemon on and resize them to fit the boxes. Due to the size of the boxes, I managed to get 2 per page, saving on the card.

Once all the Pokemon were printed out I then spent a few nights in my spare time very carefully cutting out the images - hence the 'easiest to cut' comment. Meowth is not easy to cut out - and proved to be a pain!

I used my faithful Mod Podge to glue the images onto the boxes.

And repeat.

I'm very pleased with the end result, and whilst this isn't a complicated or difficult project to make, it is very time-consuming, so make sure you leave yourself plenty of time before the party to create these.
