D.I.Y. Wedding Favors


Supplies needed:
Cellophane Bags - 4"w x 4.5"h
Tissue Paper - 5.5"w x 11"h
65# Paper (Tent Cards) - 11" x 17" cut down to 3.75"w x 4.5"h
Ribbon
Hole Punch
Ruler
Awl (optional)
Filling for good bag - in this case we used taffy (7 pieces)


Once you have your supplies ready and your design for your tent cards; print, cut and fold each tent card. Fold each piece of tissue paper in half length wise. Place the tissue paper in each bag and fill with taffy. Place a tent card at the end of the bag and use your hole punch to punch 2 holes (about .75" from each side). Next, if you have an awl, use it to make your hole a little bigger to make it easier for yourself to tie the ribbon through. Then tie your ribbon through, tie a knot in the middle and Viola - a goody bag! Each one takes a little while to put together but they're worth it in the end because they turn out pretty cute.
P.s. My camera is on the fritz. It might be because I've dropped it a dozen times or maybe it's because it's from 2004. - ancient! Have a great weekend!
