Crafts Unleashed

You could use this idea for Halloween, of course, as I have- but it would be equally cute for bridal showers, birthday parties, whatever!

So you start by making the Halloween Favor Cones I showed you the other day. Instead of making holes on the sides, like to hang on a doorknob, you make holes in the front and the back.  Tie a 12 inch piece of tulle through the holes.

To make the Favor stand, you’ll need:

• 2 24″ wreath stands (Item 6556-71)
• 2 foot broom stick or dowel rod
• Black acrylic paint, orange acrylic paint, & foam brushes (Item 97815, 97807, & JEN2)
• Hot glue gun & sticks (Item 1105-10 & ADW220-24)
• Black and orange buttons (Item 1170-20) OR
• Wood buttons in 1 1/8 ” and 7/8″ , painted black and orange (Item 9140-62 & 9124-38) two packs each
  
• Mini Bowdabra & wire (Item BOW2100 & BOW3040)
• 6″ black tulle (Item 2912-85)
• 2.5″ Black organza (wired) ribbon (Item 2972-93-88)

Start by painting your dowel black and let it dry. If you’re using wooden buttons, paint the larger ones orange and the smaller ones black. You’ll need 4 of each.

As they are drying, make 2 bows using your Bowdabra. (There is a great post here on making a loopy bow.) I used the tulle for a first layer and then made  a smaller layer of the ribbon.

Now hot glue your orange buttons & your black buttons together with the smaller ones on top.  Attach a button stack to each of your bows in the middle. Using the Bowdabra wire, attach your embellished bows to the top of the wreath hangers.Then glue a button stack to each end of your dowel. (This will keep the dowel from sliding out of the wreath hanger accidentally.)

You can add a pom-pom, too, if you like!

Slide your filled favor cones over the dowel, then place it in the hooks. (Of course, if you have more guests, you can always use a longer dowel.)

What a great decoration for the party, and the guests will be thrilled to take home a treat!
