Canvas little bags as wedding favors

We keep looking at wedding favors in little bags. Today we are showing a project with canvas bags —which you can find pretty easily in notions stores.

Materials
•    Canvas little bags
•    Thick mesh tape
•    Seals with hearts on squares
•    Glue
•    Scissors

Instructions

1. Cut a square from the mesh tape

2. Glue the seal to the mesh tape, and then the mesh tape over the canvas bag (you can check how to make the seals in our May 15, 2009 article).

3. The bags can be filled with candied almonds, candies or chocolates. We recommend you to check our September 6, 2009 article).

How to make a fan as wedding favor

In many occasions, weddings take place in gardens or warm places where a fan can be pretty convenient to cool the guests.

I’m sharing with you an idea I saw in Anna Griffin’s website, where they show this fan that you can make pretty easily —and with a very low cost, too.

What you need is a rigid cardboard of any color, which will be the fan’s body. You will also need some paper with the names of the bride and groom and the wedding’s date printed on it. Then glue this paper on the cardboard. Finally, you will need a tongue depressor or a wooden stick, which you can get easily on any stationery or notions shop. For the finishing touch, use a little bow made with a ribbon.

You should try to make your own fans —you will find out that they look really cute.

Cards to designate seats for the wedding’s guests

At the wedding’s reception, it is very practical to have the seats already designated with personalized cards featuring the guests’ names. This time we are showing a fabulous idea for cards in different shapes which, after a little cut on them, you can put at the edge of the glass. You only have to draw your desired shape, mirror it on the paper, cut it, fold it, do a little cut in the middle to put it in the glass’ base, and finally decorate and personalize them.
