How-To: Favor Bag

Camera-final

Here's an easy and adorable way to package your favors, from the super-talented Ashley Dernick of Something Old Something New Wedding Designs and Little Birdie Boutique.

Materials
2 3/4" x 4" cotton muslin drawstring bags (find them in bulk at Celestial Gifts on Etsy)
Rubber stamp with image of your choice (this one was customized by The Paper Princess)
Scrap of poster board or thick cardstock
Ink
Ribbon
Treats, birdseed or whatever else you'd like to fill the bags with
Small embellishments (we used fake flowers)

Camera-materials

Step 1: Slip a piece of poster board or cardstock inside a muslin bag. This will keep the ink from bleeding through to the other side when you stamp.

Step 2: Stamp your image on the bag.

Step 3: Fill with your favors. Sweet treats work well for this project. You can also fill the bags with birdseed, eco-friendly confetti or something else for guests to throw at you and your partner as you exit the ceremony.

Step 4: Embellish with ribbon, flowers or whatever else you'd like.
