Santa’s Sleigh Party Favor

November 27, 2009

Here is a post I wrote for another blog that I write for that I thought I’d share on my blog.  🙂

This is a nice party favor for a country or primitive themed party or decor. 

Supplies:

Unfinished wood sleigh

Sand paper

Folk Art acrylic paint in colors of your choice

Scissors

Disappearing Ink marking pen

Fabric – I used a fat quarter

Styrofoam or paper plate to use as a template

m&m’s (or other filler for Santa’s bag)

Floral Pick

Jute or Twine

Gold Leafing Pen (optional)

Paint the sleigh inside and out.  Let dry.

Sand the edges to let the unfinished wood show through.

Using the disappearing ink marking pen trace the outline of the plate on to the fabric. Cut out.

Fill the center of the circle with m&m’s and pull the fabric up and around to enclose the candy in the center.  Tie the fabric closed at the top making it look like Santa’s bag of toys.

Clip off a small section of floral pick and insert it into the jute or twine to hold it in place.  Write your guests names on the sleighs with a gold leafing pen if you wish. 

After you make the favors I give you permission to polish off the m&m’s!
