DIY Design | Spread the Love

Hi lovelies!  I hope you have had a wonderful week thus far, but I am sure you are looking forward to the weekend!

One of the easiest DIY projects to undertake for your wedding are the guest favors.  These are generally personalized items for the most part, so why make them that much more personal by doing them yourself?! Jam and jelly favors are the most adorable addition to any fall or country chic wedding design. And what guest doesn't love an edible favor over a key chain anyway?!   The best part...they are super easy to do!

Here's how to spread the love to your wedding guests!

What you'll need:
  • Canning jars (2 oz or 3 oz)
  • Homemade or store bought jam/jelly
  • Quilting Squares or Burlap
  • Twine
  • Labels
Instructions:
  1. Purchase canning jars of your preferred size. These can be found online (amazon.com), at your local grocer, or even Walmart! 
  2. Fill with your favorite homemade or store bought jam.  If you are in the Atlanta area, The Flying Biscuit Cafe has the best tasting Apple Butter in the world!  And it's available for retail purchase.
  3. Tighten lid.  
  4. Cover lid with quilting squares or burlap and secure with twine
  5. Print labels with a cute saying, your names, and wedding date.  Martha Stewart Weddings has some great templates to use.   You can also purchase label sheets from your local office supply or craft store!
  6. And you're done! 

I hope you found this helpful.  Have a wonderful weekend!!
