Hi Everyone! If you're like me, you have lots of Summer Birthdays coming up. That means lots of oppportunities to use the beautiful Pretty Party collection! I thought I would get a head start and make some fun party favors for one of these upcoming occasions.
I decided to make cone shaped pouches to hold some candy or small gifts for handing out to party guests. This is what I came up with...
The Essentials: Pretty Party Paper, Alpha Stickers, Chipboard Accents, Phrase Stickers, Adhesive, Sewing Machine, Thread, File, Cricut Expression 2, Once Upon a Princess cartridge.
These are so easy to make, and pouches don't take much time at all. Here's what you'll need:
- Patterned Paper Panels (trimmed to desired size)
- Adhesive
- Decorative Scissors (if desired)
- Sewing Machine & Thread (if desired)
To make one favor, cut your patterned paper to your desired size. I started with a 6" x 7" panel.
On the underside of the panel, place adhesive along two adjacent edges.
Roll the panel into a tube shape and press the ends together, adhering them.
Press the end of the tube (with the adhesive) closed.
Machine sew along the edge, if desired.
Trim the edge with decorative scissors, if desired.
Fill the favor with candy or small trinkets. Turn the favor so that the length bottom edge is facing away from you. Close the top edge and seal, as desired. I chose to sew mine shut so the favor could be torn open. If you prefer, you could add some adhesive or punch a couple of holes and tie off the end with some ribbon. Trim the edge with decorative scissors, if desired.
Repeat the step to make multiple favors
All that is left is to decorate them.
They really were easy, weren't they?
Thanks so much for letting me share my project with you all today. I really hope you enjoyed it, and maybe it will inspire you to have a go at making some of your own.
Have a wonderful day, and thanks so much for stopping by!
i.love.it!

These are precious. I collect all sorts of patterned paper and they come into use in so many special ways. I can not wait to start this project. The paper and sewing machine are coming out tomorrow and I am making loads of them. I am sure the kids at the international school where my daughter attends are going to love them! Thanks for sharing!

This is so perfect for Christening Favours! What's the paper weight you used? Did you use a special sewing machine needle or a trick to sew paper? Tried it but stitch went bizerk!
