Wedding giveaways on the cheap

Here are three more ideas for inexpensive wedding projects. These are little giveaways that you can whip up in a snap while downing a pitcher of margaritas. They’ll still come out stylin’.

First up: Glittered centerpiece

One hurricane lamp filled with fairy dust glitter (everyone uses sand or marbles, boring!), and then it has a glass votive holder inside with more fairy dust glitter. For this project, I used a battery-operated tea light. These are brilliant because they last for 100 hours and are very inexpensive. They work great for churches or banquet halls that do not allow lit candles. You can find these at most craft stores. Here in Phoenix, you can get them at Diane Ribbon and Notions.

Next: Letter box

This is just a simple jewelry box from the gift wrap aisle at the craft store. I covered the top in pretty scrapbook paper and then stuck on a glittered initial.

And last: Treat bag

You can buy these small colored bags in bulk. Insert a gift or baked goods, fold the top over, punch two holes and add some tule and a charm.

See? Easy!
