As we, the bridesmaids, were planning the bridal shower for our special friend, we decided to make party favours for all the guests. We wanted something that was handcrafted and unique, yet fairly easy to make as we were tight for time. Also, we wanted the party favours to be practical so people wouldn't just throw them away in the end and of course, we also wanted to stay within our budget.
This was a really great idea that we came up with - cute flower pots!
Here's what you'll need:
- Medium-sized flower pots
- Soft, fluffy socks (preferably brown or green as they'll be like the "soil" and "grass")
- Lollipops
- (Pink) Ribbons
- Construction paper
- Cards/paper/scrapbook paper
- Glue
Directions:
1. Take a pair of socks, roll it up vertically and place it into the flower pot. This will be your "soil" or "grass" in the pot.
2. Stick a lollipop (2 or 3) into the socks. These will act as "flowers".
3. (Optional) Using construction paper, you can create flower petals or leaves for your lollipop. Use your imagination!
4. Take a ribbon and wrap it around the flower pot and tie a beautiful bow in the front.
5. Using the cards/scrapbook paper, write a thank-you note for your guests! Include the event name and date! Using string, type it around one of the lollipops.
6. Use your imagination and add any other decorations as you wish!

Since we had a pair of red socks, we decided to make it look like a "cupcake" rather than a flowers and soil.

All done!
We had a lot of fun making these party favours! I love crafts!
