I'm having a fundraising afternoon tea and book swap to raise money for the Cancer Council here in Melbourne. I wanted to make some favour bags for the girls to take away as a thankyou for donating.
The blue bags were a good find from a party supplies store, the thank you card on the front was a great printable I found online! If I can find it again i'll post the website here. I printed those out on some polkadot scrapbooking paper. The little pegs I found really cheap at the office supplies shop- a perfect way to finish them off!
So with the look of them decided, I needed to choose things to go inside. Given they are for a book swap/afternoon tea I wanted them to have that theme. I found some bookplates online too (just google bookplates) and printed them out on coloured paper.
I was originally going to make some felt bookmarks and put them in. but I've decided that the guests can make their own bookmark at the tea party, with some normal and adhesive felt.
On the tea party side, I've put in some chocolates, a tea bag and a gorgeous teaspoon. I was hoping to have a tea strainer as well but it was all going to get a bit pricey.
Here are some pictures of putting them together and the final product. Now I just need to clean the house and bake some cupcakes!!
Cutting out the thank you cards - just with some scalloped edge scissors
Assembling all the bits and pieces

One finished!
The whole lot finished and ready to go. I love the look of them and hope the girls like them too :)
Gorgeous bags bet the girls loved them ... you're a sweetheart ;)
