I love great DIY favors for weddings and showers.  Here is a great idea for wrapping a cookie in decorative paper.  This would be great for a wedding, a bridal shower or a baby shower.

To create the lovely cookie favor wrappers, you will need:

• Favor tags
• Ribbon
• Decorative pliable paper (handmade paper works well)
• Scalloped-edge scissors

1. Download, print, and cut out cookie favor wrapper template on plain cardstock
2. Use template to cut out wrappers from handmade paper
3. With scalloped-edge scissors, cut around edges
4. With “good side” of paper turned outwards, place cooking in the middle of the wrapper
5. Fold wrapper flaps inward
6. Secure with ribbon, add favor tag  and tie bow

Here is an easy idea for decorating using votive candles.

Lace-wrapped votives add a vintage touch to any tabletop.

1. Measure lace against votive by wrapping around (straight-sided votive holders work best for this project).  Leave 1/2″ of overlap and cut lace to desired length.
2. Secure one end of lace to votive with double-sided tape.
3. Wrap around votive and secure other end with double-sided tape.

I love this idea that I saw on the Giver’s Log.  For your next event, why not make cupcakes as favors and hang them from a tree.
