Hangover Kit Party Favor

Mar 19

I recently hosted a Bachelorette Slumber Party and thought some preventive measures for the morning after would make for a good party favor – and I was right! These were a big hit. We also decided that these could also be referred to as a “Jet Lag Kit” if you wanted to use them as a Destination Wedding Favor and wanted a more PC name. Either way, these are pretty easy, quick, and make an impression if nothing else. I liked these so much that I think they’ll be making an appearance at my wedding – I might even get a custom stamp from Paper Source to make them more personalized.

Directions:

Lay out your cotton muslin bag and place 3-4 Post-It Notes inside the bag so that the fabric paint doesn’t bleed through. I bought my cotton muslin bags here ($10 for 25).
Dip your stencil brush in fabric ink. Apply paint to the rubber stamp using a dabbing motion; a smooth stroke doesn’t get enough paint on the stamp.
When doing this for the first time, do a test run by stamping a paper towel to see how it turns out – you can then adjust the amount of paint you used if there is too much or too little ink.
Stamp your muslin bags – I went with a plain heart in the center, but you could also personalize with alphabet stamps, or pick something more personal to the recipient.
Set your bag aside and let it dry for 30 minutes or so; it is okay to remove the Post-It Notes while drying. Repeat the above steps for each bag.
Once dry, you can begin filling your bags with the supplies for the kit.

See? How easy was that? Trust me when I say they are both a conversation starter and that they actually get used, compared to most favors that end up in a junk drawer somewhere.
