A very price efficient and effective way of saying thank you to any party guest; these elegant candle favors add yet another dimension to the wonders that tulle can bring. Arrange them individually or together as sets of three, whatever you decide, these will surely make a great bridal shower centerpiece or romantic setting. Spruce each one up with hand-written guest names to really personalize each one, this is the perfect way to show your guests that you really do appreciate them.
What you need:
- 3 pieces of tulle, 15″ in diameter (any color)
- 1 yard of satin ribbon (any color)
- 2 pearl sprays per favor
- 1 white satin leaf per favor
- 1 votive clear cup per favor
- 1 votive candle (scented or unscented)
- scissors
- ink pen
Step 1.
You want to position the candle. Start by laying the 3 15″ diameter pieces of tulle on a table, making sure to stagger the edges some. Place the votive candle in the votive cup then proceed to place both of these directly in the center of the tulle circles you had laid down.
Step 2.
With your hands, simply gather the tulle circle up around the outside of the votive cup until all sides appear to be even.
Step 3.
Take your 34″ piece of satin ribbon and tie it around the tulle just above the top of the votive in a nice and neat simple bow.
Step 4.
Begin to separate the tulle with your fingers to give the favor a fuller and “poofier” look to it, make sure it is even and consistent the entire way around though.
Step 5.
Using the white satin leaf and an ink pen (something fancy like gold will do) write in cursive lettering the name of your guest onto the leaf, making it large and legible. These will be the name tags.
Step 6.
Prepare the embellishments by twisting the stems of both the satin leaf and the pearl sprays.
Step 7.
Place these embellishments inside the middle of the tulle. The entry to this should be at the very top of the favor. Position them just inside the center hole and fan them out to your liking. You can also fasten in place if you like using some glue, adhesive, or small twist ties.
Step 8.
As an optional, but preferred step, I recommend taking 3 finished favors and placing them onto a tray or a nice setting plate in the middle of the table to create an inexpensive favor centerpiece item. Remember that you could always decide to spruce them up a little bit with some flowers or whatnot to help match any decor or theme that you have going on.
