Crafty Pants.

So I have a secret love affair with crafting blogs, and since I origianlly had trouble making favors with what I saw on other blogs for bridal shower favors. I'm hosting a potluck linen style for my sister. Guests are asked to help with food for everyone and bring linen gifts for the bride. Haha, and I just have to say I'm writing this while wearing a tee that says "I will see you in hell" on it. Oh Irony!

I found these cupcake holders that I though would be good for the whole potluck theme. Plus they were only $2 at a specialty cooking store in our mall. I think even if it was a generic small containter it would work too.


Yea, alot of them. Actually only 17, which I though was small, but the lady still had a snipy comment for me. I guess a punk girl getting favors for a bridal shower is shocking, however me just being a punk girl was always shocking enough around here, anyhoo.

I got a set of tags, light colored tissue paper and a roll of woven ribbon.I cut the ribbon at about 18" and threaded the tags on. You can write on the tags, but I didn't find a ink that really worked on them, so I just left them plain. Yea wasteful decoration, its cute okay? Then I skewed two different colors of tissue, wrapped it around the cupcake holder and then tied the ribbon to close it off. I moved the tag closer to the bow and ta-da!Not the greatest thing in the world but good enough damn it, I like it.
I put them in a basket to look pretty. This is only half of them 'cause I'm and idiot and didnt check how many sheets of tissue paper was in the pack.I alternated colors and such. I think it looks good.
