Lemonade & Sunshine Vintage-Inspired Party Favors

I am participating four link parties today--if you are visiting from one of them WELCOME and please follow me and leave me a comment if this is your first time here!

How CUTE are these?


I am pretty much beside myself over how cute these turned out. They are party favors for Ella's upcoming Lemonade and Sunshine Birthday Social. They were SO SIMPLE.

I purchased two packs of 12 mini-jelly jars with twist-rings and lids at my local grocery store. The lemon drops came from Target at $.99 a bag (each bag filled two jars). I pulled out the leftover fabric from my Scrappy Fabric Flag Banner, and I planned on using the raffia for the lids.


There was a happy surprise underneath the jars--these labels!!


So initially I was planning to put a square of fabric over the lid and tie it with the raffia. BUT--the lids were so slippery and the fabric square so small that it was just impossible. This was my plan B solution--to use my new pinking rotary cutter to make longs strips of fabric and tie them around the lids.


Aren't they precious!!!??



I plan to place them in an old basket as party favors for my guests on their way out.



Oh, and here is Ella's rag doll, inspired by the tutorial from Inside A Black Apple--only this doll is nearly the same size as Ella, and made with all vintage fabrics (except for the felt hair.)


I hope you are having a wonderful week! I can't believe that there are only 4 days until Ella's birthday party!
