How to Make a Tulle Candle Wedding Favor

Wrap small scented candles in colorful tulle circles.

Weddings are an event to remember, not only for the bride and groom, but for the family and friends who gather to celebrate with the happy couple. Create inexpensive favors for your wedding as a keepsake token for each guest to remember the special day. Choose candles with your favorite scent to personalize the favor and add a little tag with words of thanks to your guests for sharing in your happy time.

Things You'll Need

• White tulle circles
• Colored tulle circles (wedding colors)
• 1/4-inch-wide ribbon (in a wedding color)
• Scented votive candles
• Computer and printer
• Card stock paper
• Paper cutter
• Hole punch

Instructions

1. Lay a white tulle circle on your work surface. Place another tulle circle on top. Use one of your wedding colors for this piece of tulle. Place one more tulle circle on top. Use another one of your wedding colors or use a white tulle circle instead.

2. Cut a 10-inch-long piece of 1/4-inch-wide satin ribbon in one of your wedding colors.

3. Place the scented votive candle in the center of the tulle circles. Wrap the tulle circles up and over the top of the candle. Wrap the ribbon around the tulle, just above the candle, and tie it in a tight knot to secure the tulle.

4. Open a word processing program on your computer and open a tag or business card template page. Write a note for the favor tag on each of the tags or business card spaces. Print the page onto a piece of card stock and use a paper cutter to separate the tags.

5. Punch a hole in the top left corner of one tag. Slide one of the ribbon ends on the tulle candle through the hole and tie the ribbon ends in a bow.

Tips & Warnings

• Instead of printing the notes onto your favor tags, write each note personally with a calligraphy pen.
