Do It Yourself Bride: Vintage Papers + Glitter + Chocolate Bars = Irresistible Favors


This is a “very simple" do it yourself wedding favor craft. Gather up all your pastel glitter vials, your vintage wallpaper scraps and purchase some nice size Hershey Bars (enough for each guest ++). Display as individual favors, front and center on you guest’s plate and atop a crisp white linen napkin. Or gather up "en masse" and showcase on your Wedding Reception Dessert Table.

Here is what you will need if you want to make these yourself.

• Chocolate bars (I buy Hershey’s plain no peanuts)
• Vintage wallpapers, scrapbook paper, or wrapping paper
• Glitter
• Double-sided tape
• Glue pen or Elmer's Glue
• Scissors and/or paper-trimmer

To start, cut strips of paper (I prefer vintage wallpaper, heavier) into strips, slightly wider than the "Hershey" logo – and let some of the silver foil show. Secure vintage paper strips with double sided tape. Finally sprinkle glitter (in tones matching papers or silver to match the silver foil) on some of the design elements of the vintage wallpaper.

There you have it - pretty and simple!

P.S. Purchase the miniature Hersheys and decorate for Kid's Birthday Party.

Here's to Bonne Planning
