How to Make a Plantable Party Favor

Give the gift of a hydrangea garden with a plantable party favor.

A plantable party favor is a ecological way to show your appreciation for the guests at your party. A good plantable party favor is paper hydrangea paper. This plantable paper grows hydrangeas. You can shape it into a cone and put another party favor inside. Making your own plantable party favors lets you save money, while you polish your eco-friendly craft skills.

Things You'll Need

• 6x6 paper hydrangea blooms pack
• Ribbon paper punch
• Wired paper hydrangea flowers
• Cone filler of choice
• Glue

Instructions

1. Fold the seeded paper into a cone with the bottom completely closed. Do this by pulling opposite corners of the paper in towards each other and rolling the bottom of the cone tighter than the top.

2. Glue the edges of the seed paper together so that they stay in a cone shape.

3. Cut off each paper hydrangea from its bunch with the individual wire still attached. Cut enough for one for each party favor.

4. Punch the ribbon paper hole punch through the top of the cone where the two corners meet. The ribbon paper hole punch should punch two small holes a couple centimeters apart.

5. Push the wire from the hydrangea flower though one of the holes and back out the other hole. Twist the end of the wire to the bottom of the flower. Twisting the end of the wire will hide it.

6. Fill the cone with a small party favor of your liking. Good ideas to fill the cone with are plantable seeds, sunflower seeds, candy, rose petals or flowers.

Tips & Warnings

• Tell guests to plant the paper cone in rich soil. Hydrangea flowers should start sprouting in a few days.
