How to Make a Picture Frame Party Favor

Help guests remember a special event with a picture frame party favor. These favors are good for birthday celebrations, bachelorette parties, wedding receptions, graduation parties and holiday events. The frames can come with or without a picture, since you can always mail a picture to guests after the event.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Frames
• Frame decorations
• Paint
• Glue
• Mini cookie cutters
• Craft foam
• Scissors
• Pictures

1. Decide what type of picture frame you want for the party favor. Common frames are wood, plastic or foam. Dollar stores sell picture frames in a variety of materials, and mail order companies, like Oriental Trading Company, offer foam picture frame sets.

2. Decorate the picture frame in the theme of the party. Paint graduation caps for a graduation party, glue on sand for a beach party, use balloon and cake stickers for a birthday party and faux fur with glitter for a bachelorette party.

3. Use mini cookie cutters and craft foam to design custom foam stickies for the favor. Trace around the cookie cutter. Use scissors or a sharp blade to cut out the design and attach it to the picture frame with craft glue.

4. Create an elegant wedding party favor by covering the picture frame in silk or satin. Use glue to attach the material to the frame. Include a candid picture of the bride and groom and write their names and the date on the bottom of the frame in calligraphy.

5. Put a picture of the guest of honor in the picture frame, or a candid group picture that includes all the guests. Give each guest a favor as the event ends. If you don't have a picture ready for the frame, fill it with card stock on which you can write a note that lets your guests know you'll send an image later.
