Easy Peasy Favors

This past weekend Mr CC and I had the pleasure of attending a wonderful shower in our honored thrown by my amazing bridesmaids. I had mentioned earlier that I had offered to take the favor portion of the party planning off my bridesmaid plate so the Friday before our shower I got busy cranking out these easy peasy DIY sachets favors.

You may be surprised to know that its bits and pieces of yarn I’ve been saving from my pom pom crafts. For some crazy reason I’ve spent the last 5 months saving all of my yarn trimmings from my poms so when the idea of making scented sachets for the shower came up I knew I had the perfect filler.

To make the scented sachets all you need is a tulle favor pouch and fragrance used in perfume or candle making. With your yarn bits in a bowl take your fragrance and lightly saturate the yarn and give it a quick stir to evenly distribute the fragrance.

Fill your tulle bags about half full and tie it off with a quick bow and you’re done!

We topped ours off with some store bought die cut thank you tags.

In total the entire project took us about an hour to complete and we received rave reviews at the shower!

Anyone else contributing to their shower?

Do Us a Favor...

...and help us fancy up our favor boxes! The boxes for our favors arrived on our door step this week and although I’m not quite ready to share what will go inside them I need the Hive’s help with the outside.

Our boxes are 4x4x2 plain craft boxes alone their pretty plain and I’ve been trolling the internet for the past couple of days in search of some possible ways to pretty them up. I’ve narrowed them down to these 6 but can’t decide which one I like the best.
