I am obsessed with this next project. And obsessed might just be putting it lightly. I love when ideas come my way that I haven’t ever seen before and not only is this one new to me, it’s so designed so beautifully that it just appeals to my own sense of style and love of simplicity. Plus, it uses the Gocco which just might be the best invention EVER.

When we received Brannon & Kainoa’s wedding from Little Black Book members Cassandra and David Dieterle, it was hard to get past just how cute the kids are! They sent us loads of gorgeous detail photos from the wedding, but we had to see more of the kids before we could even move on. We fell head over heels in love with Brooklyn, Brogan and Bailey!

Crafted by the same designer who did the tea tins, these GORGEOUS spice jar favors are equally as lovely!

With this project, you create a very affordable favor that does double duty as a placecard holder (for about $2/favor). Fill the vials with spices that coordinate with the colors and/or theme of your wedding.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. You will need to create artwork for the spice jar label and placecard. The keytag has two sides so take advantage of the extra space!
