DIY Project – Gumball Favors
We have so many elegant, pretty DIY projects on SMP, I thought it was about time for a really fun, whimsical project. How cute are these Gumball Favors?
Materials
Clear flat bottom candy bags which can be purchased in bulk from candy store
Lots of gum balls (about 10 per bag). They can be color specific to your wedding! We purchased ours from gumballs.com
White labels to fit the width of the bag
Clear tape
Instructions
1. You can have your labels designed or you can design them yourself using a program like Microsoft Publisher or Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.
2. After your labels are printed, put the labels on your candy bags.
3. Fill your bags with about 10 gum balls per bag. Make sure you have enough gum balls to fill each bag evenly before taping the bag shut with clear tape.
Great Idea. I think simple, inexpensive ideas like these will be huge over the next few years.
Great and simple idea! Can easily be repurposed for a bridal shower favor, baby shower favor or even a kid's birthday party favor.
I love this for anything and should have done this for my friend's 30th bday party this weekend!
Looks great!
This is the cutest idea! It is so easy and yet classy.
So cute. I'd love to see more from this wedding -- it looks so colorful!!
Super cute!!!!
This is a fabulous idea! I would love to use this idea for favors for a polka-dot theme birthday party!
What a fabulous idea...for another event, not just a wedding. I love your site...keep the great ideas coming!
Saw your posting and thought it would be appropriate to let you know that you can purchase gumballs by color rather than the usual mixed colors and flavors.
If you have a theme and you want specific colored gumballs like pink and brown or just solid white, then visit: http://www.gumball.com/gumballs-by-color.aspx " rel="nofollow">Gumballs by Color from Gumball.com. They offer solid colored gumballs in 12 colors: white, pink, red, lime green, light blue, blue, orange, purple, brown, yellow, green and maroon.
Nice one!
[...] Style Me Pretty: Forget the typical white-on-white wedding! If you’re not a goth, you might go for this colorful set-up, including a bag of gumballs for each guest. Yes, you get complete directions on how to do this yourself, and since gumballs last forever, you can tackle this project well in advance (as long as you keep the bags sealed off from dust). We really like this blog, as Abby writes a lot of articles about how to use labels to simplify wedding plans. [...]
