We attended a wedding in Boston over last weekend and it was so much fun. It was held in a bowling alley! You heard me right–a bowling alley. The bowling lanes were old and so were the “Candlestick” bowling pins and wooden bowling balls. They had an open bar, flat~bread pizza and everyone was a part of the fun. Today casual weddings seem to be the new trend.
Candy tables are a big part of almost all celebrations these days, so for the wedding favors I made the cute Build~A~Bow Treat Holders. I featured HERE For Valentine’s Day. I switched up the colors to match the invitations I made in Daffodil Delight. Here’s a photo of Jill kissing her nephew, our Grandson Jack, or as we like to say, “Jack & Jill!”
You can click on the link above or here’s the “Show Me the Way”
1. Cut a 2″ x 6″ piece of Daffodil Delight Card Stock and score at 2-1/2″ and 3-1/2″, Crease the score lines with a Bone Folder. These score lines will be the bottom of the treat bag.
2. Take each end of the treat bag and punch them one at a time with the Ornate Tag Topper Punch.
3. Stack two pieces of Hershey Nuggets. Hold them together with a Glue Dot. Place another Glue Dot on the bottom to hold them in place in the treat holder
4. Place a few Glue Dots to hold the top of the treat bag together. You can also hold it together by threading a piece of ribbon through the tag topper hole. I chose not to use ribbon, because I wanted this little paper bow to shine.
5. To make the perfect little bow for the perfect wedding favor, simply use the Build~A~Bow Punch. I used various Designer Series Papers having Daffodil Delight in them and proceeded to make many, many, many bows! Did I mention many?
6. I computer generated the text for the 1″ x 2″ labels and trimmed them with my Paper Trimmer. The bows and labels were affixed with Glue Dots and Dimensionals.
7. Place the Build~A~Bow Treat Holder inside a cellophane bag and tie the top of the bag with a piece of Baker’s Twine.
I have to be honest with you, I had everything done for these Build~A~Bow Treat Holders, except for the Baker’s Twine Bows. I worked on those in the car on our way to Boston and finished them about 15 minutes before we arrived. It was close!
Once again, thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to keep your eyes opened for your new 2015~2016 Stampin’ Up! catalogs to arrive in the mail soon!
