Tea Favors -- Help!!

[ahappystamper]

I need some ideas for favors to make for a tea that'll be held at my church for teenage girls. I have some links to get the "sugar sticks" but I'm drawing a blank on how to put it together. I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate any help anyone can offer. If you have any pics of any favors for a tea, that would be awesome!

Thanks so much for your creativity!

Are you talking party favors or foods?

If you go to your local antique stores you can often find cheep costume jewlery. I bet they would have fun dressing up with that.

On SU web site (hope your a demonstrator), there is a pattern for holding tea bags. (it folds up like a book and holds 1-2 tea bags).

Here are a few I have done or helped with (sorry no photos on hand):

-Mini tile magnet in a small cello bag with topper
-votive candles embossed and put in small organdy bag
-bic pen wrapped in green floral tape with a silk flower at the top and stuck in a mini clay pot which has been painted and stamped (these were really cute. We grouped them in the center of hre tables to form the centerpeices as well as the favors)
-stamped photo frames made with SU frame die cuts (also used for placecards)
-stamped milk box filled with candy or a tealight

If you are talking about maybe a bag to hold candy, you might consider using those organdy bags (they come in all different sizes) that are used for wedding favors! I saw some on clearance at our very small Michael's (Village Crafts) here in town! Pick your favorite color of staz-on, a then stamp you like (hearts? little tea cups? butterflies? etc) and insert a scrap piece of paper into the bag (you can use the very small ones for candy) and stamp away! Let dry a bit then turn over, stamp the other side. There is no need to heat set them, the organdy burns pretty easily. I made a bunch of these at Christmas with a snowflake stamp and brilliant blue staz on and put hot cocoa or mocha mix in them. My demo made homemade bath salts and put it in them. Good luck!

If you want to go even cheaper, go with the cello bags topped with stamped card stock!
