Party favors!!!

While we've been away there has been quite a few parties going on. In our home birthday party row happens from February to April...and that doesn't include the friends! Here are a few party favors we threw together for a tea party we attended. Super fun and super cheap :))))) a few YouTube hits to get the perfect tissue paper flower, and the rest wizzed by! What we used: paper cups, pipe cleaners, tissue paper, and leftover Valentines day candies :)

First make your flowers, I would give a tutorial on that but there are some great ones already on YouTube as I mentioned, when you find one you like have at it ;). Instead of ribbon we used pipe cleaners, you will see why in a bit...

Second, poke holes in the bottom of your cups, I used one of our paintbrushes.

Third, turn the cup over and put the pipe cleaners stem through the hole in the bottom, it may be too long, bend the end so that it hooks onto the bottom. At this point I would tape them to the cup and clip the leftover length.

Before you secure your flower in place, place your candy inside the cup. I used leftover cinnamon hard candies we had from valentines. You can use whatever, just keep in mind your event. If its outdoors you may want to avoid the chocolates, or gumdrops, but anything with a little weight to it, so your cups won't fly away.

We even tried using an upside down cup,still cute!
