DIY - Favor Bags

We are going to have bubblegum balls in a big glass vase at the exit of the reception. So, we needed favor bags. And being Brigette - I wanted to make them!

1. I went to Michaels with my 50% off coupon and bought two 50 packs of organza white bags for $10 a set.
2. You also need white ribbon ( the same color and width as the ribbon on the bag), super glue, two colors of paper, a whole punch (either 1/16th hole punch or 1/8th punch), and a die cut of whatever you want (I used 1 and 1/2 inch scallop edge), and a monogram stamper (can be purchased for $12 at Hobby Lobby with 50% off or you can print off your letters.. whichever!)
3. Take your die cut and cut out however many circles you want for your bags.
4. Stamp your die cut
5. Glue the backing color to the stamped paper.
6. Hole punch the top of the scallopped edged papers.
7. Lace ribbon through hole.
8. On the right side of the organza bag with be a tied bow and a loop touching the bag. Pull out the loop (which will in turn make the other side's tied bow come in) and put the laced ribbon through it.
9. Super glue the two ends.
10. Your done! By putting the monogram around the loop, the monogram will go to the center when your guests close their bags!












Total Cost= about $35
Price per bag = 35 cents (I only made 100 because there's normally not very many people left by the end!)

  1. OK, so I didn't know you were a wedding coordinator!! How fun is that?? I'm sure that is a LOT of fun, and you look like you have a great eye for it!! Maybe if we do end up moving to houston we can work together, b/c I'll be sad I'm losing all my clients and referrals from dallas!!
