Learn how to transform ordinary brown paper lunch bags into something extraordinary in this part 2 of Back to School Art and Craft for Kids

This is the 2nd in a series of post on Back to School Art and Craft for Kids. If you’ve missed the previous post, you can still learn how to make beautiful and versatile ribbon bulletin boards here.

For today’s project, we’re going to take the quintessential school object – brown paper lunch bags – and transform them into lovely lunch bags that your kids will be excited to carry.  Ready to get started?  Here’s what you’ll need to do.

Decorative lunch bag supplies:

  1. A pack of brown paper lunch bags
  2. Craft scissors
  3. Stamps and ink pads
  4. Stickers or printed labels
  5. Craft paper punches in various shapes

There are literally hundreds of different ways to decorate your lunch bags from the supplies list. Here are some ideas -

Monogram paper lunch bag. Make initials out of construction paper or print the initials onto sticky labels. Use a favorite color for each kid so it’s easy for them to grab the right lunch bag in a hurry.  Glue or stick one initial onto each lunch bag.
