DIY Seed Packet Favors

This past weekend I held a bridal shower for my best friend Aria. It was a shower for her family. I did a simple spring garden theme, so naturally I thought seed packets would make the perfect favor! These would also make great favors at a garden luncheon, a baby shower, or birthday party!

Wanna make some? I'll show you how!

Start off with some seed packets. I got these at Deals, the dollar store, ten for a dollar...

Next, go to the card making aisle at Hobby Lobby. You'll find these cute lil guys called "a tag in a bag". Don't mind the torn front. I had to take one of these apart after I mad them to take pictures...

I set up a custom label on Microsoft Word to the size of the tag that comes in the little pocket. Just type in whatever you would like your favor to say on colored paper, and use a paper cutter to create straight edges...

Slide the card in the little pocket...

Then, print a little square on some paper and use white font to make "a favor for you" tags. You could do this on full page labels, but those suckers are expensive!!!

Then, glue the tag on the front of the pocket and get all your goods together....

Assemble the favors...

And, you're done! Set them up at everyone's place setting. They'll be a hit I promise!

I'll show you some more pictures from the shower tomorrow!

Come back and see me!

That's a cute idea Kara. They would be great as place cards for an Easter dinner too.
