DIY: Favors

I love this idea that my friend Regina sent me! Peeps are a true addiction to for me and I love the idea of making your own!

On the blog for Twig and Thistle they have a great recipe and how- to in order to make them. The part I LOVE about this idea, is that you can make them in any shape and any color to match your wedding colors and theme. For example, I am working on a wedding right now where the bride loves butterflies. Why not make them in a butterfly shape and use sugars that the colors of your wedding. Put them in a great clear container or a box and you have a fabulous personalized favor!!

Thanks for the tip Regina!!
