How to Create Your Own Wedding Favors

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Keri Wootton and I'm the owner of Leave the Details to Me Event & Wedding Consulting in Austin, Texas. And I'm here today to talk to you about and to show you how to make some favors for your wedding. The materials you'll need for the favor that I'm going to show you is some fabric that you'll cut with a hole in the middle, some Mason jars with the lids, a bag of raffia, some pebbles and cut raffia, and some little, nice chocolate mints. The first thing you'll need to do is get some fabric and cut it into squares. You simply just are going to take your square from the middle and cut a circle out. Then you're going to take your circle of fabric, your fabric with the circle and place it over your Mason jar. Then you're going to lid, screw your lid with your Mason jar on, like so. Then I'm going to take some simple pebbles that we got at the craft store and some of the raffia (the extra raffia that we would are going to use to tie our jar), and we're going to pop it in just to add some color and something to hold our chocolates in the jar with. Then you're going to take your raffia and just take one strand because it's much easier to work with. And you're going to tie your raffia around your jar, and you're just going to tie a very simple bow. Then you're going to take add in remaining pebbles that have escaped, and you're going to get them into the jar. And then you're just going to take this simple chocolate covered mints in various different flavors and pop them in the top. These are a great favor for a fun country wedding. My name is Keri and again I'm from Austin, Texas, and I was here talking to you about how to make your own wedding favors."
