Poppin' out favors!

Next month is my little guys birthday. And I made a couple of these Favor Poppers to see how they would look. I then got swept away in the fun so I made MORE! Why? I dunno, but it sure was fun!!!! You have to try these! They are soooo easy and I can (almost) guarantee that you have these items in your house- right now!


Here's all you need:
-Tissue Paper
- Candy or small favors for your Party/Occasion
-A toilet paper roll or paper towel roll cut to about 7 inches long
-tape
-pattern paper
-scissors (decorative is optional)
-Tags
-Pipe cleaners or ribbon

and now, for the steps.....
1. Roll the "roll" tightly in an approx. 12'' x 12'' square of tissue paper, tape it.

2. Twist one end, and close with pipe cleaner or ribbon.
3. Add candy or small favors inside the roll.

4. Twist the other end and add the other pipe cleaner or ribbon
5. Now take a 4x6 piece of paper (this is where you can cut decorative scissors to the 6 inch sides) and tape that on the roll.
Add a tag, or piece of paper to who it's for, or a quote for the theme! What-ev-ah, it's your par-tay and you can do what you want to!
