Easy to Make Party Favors and Gift Ideas

No party is complete without cute party favors, and that is the very reason why DIY experts and hobbyists from all over the web are spewing their best do-it-yourself party favor crafts for everyone to try out at home. Whether you lack the right budget for fancy party favors or if you simply want to make your party favors (and perhaps, every other detail for your party) on your own, here are a few ideas you should try out.

Recycle your old mason jars to make a plethora of trinkets and party favors. You can also use mason jars when serving pastries and cakes during your party.

Making the first coffee cup party favor is easy. You will need a ribbon or elastic headband, glue, and printable labels. You can find coffee cup printable labels here and a whole slew of elastic headbands to tie your gift together at ElasticBytheYard.com

Terrariums are timeless party favors and they would be ideal if you have nature-loving friends joining your party. Get the instructions for this DIY terrarium kit at here.

If you ran out of mason jars for this DIY project, try old or unused teacups instead. Making the project above only takes a few minutes. You can put any gift you like inside the teacup, like a mini-cupcake or candy. Next, get a piece of transparent cellophane and settle the tea cup inside it properly before tying the bag with a ribbon, or better yet, a stylish elastic headband.

Homemade crafts are always a sure hit in any party. Make homemade lip balm, homemade soap, homemade candles and homemade perfumes and give them away to friends.

The DIY craft above is homemade mango shimmer lip balm. You can get the instructions here.

In Between Laundry made the bath scrubs above. The final product is placed in a mason jar with a ribbon, but you can always use elastic headbands and perhaps, a small flower bow to make it look more presentable.

Although you can't see it, there are actually small vials of homemade perfumes in the pillow boxes above. Get the instructions for the homemade perfume here.

Who can forget candies and pastries? They're timeless and would be ideal for any party.

As suggested earlier, you can serve pastries, cakes and sweets (even ice cream) in a mason jar; however, if you have too many people coming over to your party and not enough party favors, use small vials instead. Pour candies into a small vial, but don't forget to decorate it with cute designs.
