Craft Project: Bridal Favor
Inexpensive, yet elegant, use the wedding colors to complete these simple little favors that take only minutes to make.
Approximate Time: A few minutes for each one
Supplies:
- Small White Treat Bags (6 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches works well)
- Narrow Ribbon in the Wedding Colors
- Tiny Embellishments, Rose Buds, Beads, Lace, Tulle, etc.
- Pearls-by-the-Yard in Coordinating Color
- Hot Glue or Tacky Glue
- Silver Pen, optional
- Mints or Candies
Instructions:
- Write the couple's name and/or wedding date with silver pen along bottom of bag (hemline), if desired.
- To form bodice, fold bag in half length wise and cut out a heart shape (see photo), starting on the fold, using decorative edge scissors. You may need to trim the sleeves a little (in the center of the bag) to make them more narrow.
- Place candies in bag.
- Gather both sides of bodice together as shown and glue in center.
- Carefully gather bag just below bodice to form waist. Tie with ribbon, forming a bow in back.
- Add rose to center of bodice.
- Add tiny section of pearls-by-the-yard to neckline for necklace.
- Add other embellishments as desired.

Perhaps "treat" bags with children's cartoon themes etc., might be a better idea. Sorry but doesn't look like wedding "treats" or even bridal shower "treat" bag.

I bet a tiny piece of tulle at the neckline to serve as a veil would be really cute, too.
