Well folks, we are absolutely obsessed with creating and coming up with new ideas for favor bags. Above we have presented just a few of these new designs. There is an endless amount of themes out there for you to explore. These little 3" x 4" sheer organza bags are so easy to create and the cheapest way of adding a big impact to any event. Fill these with mints, self made cookies or chocolates and walla! you have the sweetest little treat bag. Once the event is over guest can enjoy the sweet treats, reuse the organza bags to store little trinkets and the theme piece can be used for scrap-booking, Christmas tree decor, and much more.These can all be recreated easily by using heavy 110 pound card stock paper , scissors, ribbon and some cheap paper punches; make good use of those 50% coupons from Jo Ann Fabrics and Michaels for this project. Take your time in preparing for your event. The more time in advance you set for prepping and mapping out your ideas the better prepared your event will be. Be unique in creating your event and in adding a personal touch to every detail. Most important of all is to enjoy the moment you'll be creating and sharing with friends and family.

Summer is here!


What a better way to enjoy Summer parties than to include nautical themes for your next event. Easy favors and decorations can be created using inexpensive material such as paper, felt and our much beloved cold porcelain paste. Start by selecting a clip art image on which to use as inspiration. Now head out to your local craft stores or maybe you have these items already around the house and start crafting these cheerful summer favors and decorations. For our nautical favor bags we opted to use a life saver, anchor, and sail boat. These can be customized to match any color schemes. For our favors we went with acrylic colors in navy blue, red and white. Our favors are made using cold porcelain paste simply because it is the material we are most used to working with but these could easily be hand crafted out or heavy card stock paper, either hand cutting or using Cricut's "Life's A Beach" cartridge. Remember to always add special details to your creations. Here we choose to add jute rope and star cut outs. Other possible ideas for Summer party favors are lighthouse, seagulls, and beach sandals. Above all enjoy your Summer and when planning events remember to invite friends and family over to help out with your creations. Not only will you have made unique party favors but you will have also created unforgettable memories with the ones you love.

Have a GREAT Summer!!
