How to Craft Wedding Keepsakes
- 1). Choose a creative direction for your wedding favor candy boxes. Identify your budget, and obtain relevant craft supplies accordingly.
- 2). Prepare your paper mache craft boxes. If you purchased an undecorated variety, paint the boxes according to your preferences. An easy way to coordinate your favors with the overall wedding reception theme is to paint the box one wedding color and the lid another wedding color.
- 3). Fill the boxes with candy. After the boxes have dried, insert the sweets of your choice. Choose wrapped candies so they stay fresh.
- 4). Create a gift tag for each candy-filled box. You can design a tag on the computer and print out as many tags as needed. Incorporate the bride's and groom's names, wedding date, wedding graphics or other embellishments as desired.
- 5). Attach a ribbon after placing the lid on the filled container. Tape one gift tag on each box. Alternatively, punch a hold in each tag, and simply thread the ribbon through the hole and tie a knot to attach the tag to each box.
