Spring Party Favor DIY

March 27, 2014

My Thrifty Sister shared so many fabulous ideas and DIY’s in her Books and Brunch party in the Spring 2014 issue of Everyday Party Magazine, I was compelled to share them all on the website too, so that you could pin them!

Today’s post is a two for one post! Cindy sent her guest home with a favor she had already made, as well as one that they all made together after enjoying their brunch.

Notepad Favor DIY

Supplies:

legal paper

card stock

hole punch

ribbon, lace, or burlap

sandpaper

pencil

Cut legal size paper into four columns. Cut card stock to fit the paper and use sand paper along the edge of a hard corner for that denim seam look. Punch two holes at the top of all paper and thread ribbons, lace or burlap to secure. Tie on pencil. Leave for each guest to write notes, contacts and thoughts about our book.

Wire Bird DIY

Supplies:

wire hanger

thin wire

assorted buttons

needle nose pliers.

Cut curve off hanger and straighten wire.

Use bird shape to see where to bend wire.

Cut off excess for legs and feet and make a tight curl to close wires together.

Wrap thin wire around the body of the bird and thread buttons on wire. Continue back and forth adding assorted size buttons. Wrap wire ends around bird and use pliers to help with sharp edges.

Fold bird feet and legs attach to bird body.

Look for My Thrifty Sister in the NEXT issue of EPM too!
