(Rubber Ducky) Birthday Party Favors

My baby just turned one, and the party was really fun!  I crafted several things for the party, including these party favors.  Mostly, I just assembled them, but I still added a personal touch.  Come hither, let me tell you all about it...

I first got my inspiration while in Dollar Tree.  I scoped out the wedding section, because I knew I wanted these bubbles, but lo, I found these white favor boxes. I put a pinch of paper shreds in each one and hot glued a bow on the front.  The bows are made out of leftover 5/8" grosgrain ribbon.
I used regular ol' mailing labels, printed some duck clip art on them, and customized the boxes and the bubbles. But of course there is more...
I used the images that I purchased from The Curious Princess on Etsy and made these simple lollipop covers.  You can purchase printable lollipop covers from the Etsy store, too, but I figured I'd save a few bucks and make my own template.  (Available below!)  Just cut on the solid lines, and fold on the dashed lines.  You could use a hole punch for the stick hole (above), but I didn't have one, so I cut an "X" there.

I filled the box with pre-packaged shredded paper, but recycled shreds would be just fine, too!  Pop in the bubbles, lollipop and these super cute duck squirters.  Ta-da!





Lollipop cover template:  

This does not include the graphics, because that wouldn't be ethical, but you can add whatever clip art that you like.  They are sized to fit Dum Dums because they are a good size for little mouths and are free of all major food allergens!




Cut on the solid lines and fold on the dashed lines.  Happy crafting!
