Supplies
Rose Sentiments Stamp Set
(TAC)
Snow White Dye Ink
Pad (TAC)
Stylus (TAC)
1/8” Wonder Tape (Suze Weinberg~TAC)
4.25” x 5.5” piece
of card stock vellum (unknown)
Piece of dark fun foam (unknown)
1/8” hole punch (Fiskars)
9” of red ribbon
Red candies (M&M’s, Red Hots, etc.)
Instructions
1.
Stamp rose
from Rose Sentiments set in white ink onto the vellum off center and close to
the bottom.
2.
Place the
vellum onto the fun foam and trace the lines of the stamped image with the
larger ball of the stylus. Press firmly, but not hard, as you will cut through
the paper.
3.
Run a length
of the Wonder Tape on one of the 4.25” sides of the vellum
and trim. Take off the backing from tape and roll the vellum around attaching
one edge to the taped edge. This will create a tube.
4.
Pinch the
lower end of the tube so that the rose is facing upwards.
5.
Measure a
piece of Wonder Tape to fit inside of the tube’s bottom edge and seal.
6.
Fill the
tube with candies. Leave enough room at the top so the tube can be sealed shut.
7.
Pinch the
upper end of the tube the opposite way from the bottom edge.
8.
Measure
another piece of Wonder Tape to fit inside of the tube’s top edge and seal.
9.
Punch 2
holes at the bottom of the now finished favor.
10.
Lace ribbon
through the holes and tie into a
 bow.
These favors can be used
for a lot of different events or holidays.
Red for Valentine’s Day,
colored almonds for weddings, candy corn for
Halloween, etc. I learned this technique from Angi Healy.
