Making Party Favors

Make goodie bags for party favors.


Party favors are traditional gifts for guests at a party. Purchasing an expensive item for each guest is unnecessary, as you can make some simple but thoughtful party favors yourself at home. Whether you are planning a party for adults or for children, explore how you can make your own favors and show your guests your appreciation for their attendance. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Cut out one 3-inch square for each party favor out of mesh fabric using scissors.


2. Place candies in the center of each mesh square. Use candies that match decor. For example, use pastel colored jordan almonds for a baby shower or red and green candy-coated chocolates for a Christmas party.


3. Pull up the sides of each square to create a satchel for the candy. Secure the pouches with 3-inch lengths of ribbon by tying them into a bow just below the raised corners.


4. Pass the candy goodie bags out to your guests as they leave or place them on each table for guests to take as they sit.
