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.
