Oh so pretty...yet...oh so simple! I must tell you that this favor packaging project was motivated by comments in a bridal forum. The professionals were saying that there should be no DIY's at weddings...yikes...I disagree and told them so. Their thoughts were that DIY elements at a wedding never turn out well and cheapen the feel of the event.
The challenge was now on to create a boutique style favor that those with basic crafting skills could make themselves. This turned out far-and-away better than any pre-mades, kits and even many customs that I have seen, and the beautiful part is the favor box is simple to make with minimal supplies needed. Fill them with whatever YOU fancy; a cookie, truffles, candy, gift card, etc.
Supplies
2 yards 7/8" wide Pink Organza Ribbon
White Pipe Cleaner
Sparkling Pink Card Stock
Heart Die (made from AccuCut Heart #6-small die)
Tools: scissors
We filled our favor box with pink gourmet jelly beans. As you can see we have used a white paper cupcake liner for our food safe barrier. The cupcake liner is resting on a little nest of white crinkle cut shred to bring it closer to the top of the box.
Make 3 loops of your 7/8" ribbon about 3" wide. Fold pipe cleaner around center of loop then twist to secure (as pictured above). Glue ribbon bow to top of favor box. Glue point of die cut heard to the corner of the top of the box. Then glue the top of the heart to center of ribbon bow (as pictured below). This will give the heart
a nice lift.
Trim up the ends of the ribbon and you are done!
