We love it when we can complement another DIY idea. This one is our second from the talented Lowri McNabb from PaperVine, whose  again here to share some fun ideas for a DIY Wedding.

If you are hosting a small, intimate or informal event, you can still offer some great little touches such as favors and place cards and it is really easy to create these yourself with a few basic scrapbook supplies.

Favor / Treat Containers

These are so much fun to place on the table for your guests. You can fill them with any little treat you like – I usually fill mine with mints for an after dinner treat

These are easy to make – see the tutorial below. 

1. Cut paper into 3” x 4” rectangles (7.5cm x 10cm) You can get 12 of these from one sheet of scrapbook paper
2. Place very strong double sided adhesive tape along the two long and one short sides. I used JEJE Extra Sticky Tape
3.  Remove the backing from the tape
4. Form a cylinder, joining the 2 shorter sides together with the adhesive Press adhesive very firmly
5. Pinch one end of the cylinder together. Press adhesive firmly and fill with little treats
6. Pinch other end of cylinder together at right angles to form this shape.

Use a paper crimper or scoring tool to really seal edges.

When completed, decorate with any additional embellishments you like to co-ordinate with your wedding theme

Homemade Confetti Bags

Your guests can either use these to shower you with love or keep them as a little memento of your day.

1.  Gather up any paper scraps you would like to use and using a decorative punch, create lots of colorful shapes
2. Using cheap baking paper and the same punch, create lots more shapes. Eight layers of paper at a time was perfect with this punch but you might need to experiment
3. Gather them together in a pleasing ratio!
4.  I used cheap organza bags ($2 for 5 from the dollar store) as my confetti holders, but you could use cello bags or even the favor containers shown above.
