DIY Candy Necklace Craft Favor w/ FREE Printable Labels

I found this adorable DIY Candy Necklace Craft Favor with a downloadable printable

label on Paper and Cake's blog. They were so creative in coming up with a fresh alternative to the idea of candy buffets at parties.

They shared their tutorial on how to create your own modern favor boxes, filled with candy and string, for party guests to make their own couture candy necklaces. This would be perfect as a craft at a child party or baby shower done in a sweets~theme!

via Paper and Cake:

Supplies:

*favor boxes (4" clear cube boxes were used in this case)

*a skewer

*embroidery floss (to match your candy colors)

*cereal with holes (like fruit loops; a large box will fill 10 favor boxes)

*candies (take a favor box with you to the candy store so you can get a sense of

how much you need to fill each box)

1. Play with your color palette ! you could do each box in a single color group or include the whole rainbow!

2. Trim Licorice Belts into small squares. Using a skewer, poke a hole through licorice belts and other chew candies.

3. Layer the cereal, then candies in each box.

4. Place a length of embroidery floss ~ tied at one end with a Fruit Loop and knotted at the other - on top of candies inside the box.

5. You can make your own labels with pretty scrapbook papers and card stock or you can download Paper and Cake's Couture Candy Labels for free! Affix labels to box front.

6. Tie some rock candy to the box with some cording or ribbon.

7. Then let your guests have a blast making their own candy necklaces!
