Handmade Memorial Day Party Favors

The end of May marks Memorial Day, and your party could be chockfull of homemade party supplies made by you. To celebrate the ending of fall and looking forward to an enjoyable summer, create a table centerpiece that contains all the great things about summer. It can be a large work of art, or you can use miniatures to be able to display many more items.

A miniature display might be more appropriate for your handmade party favor centerpiece. A mini beach ball, towel, sunscreen bottle, tanning lotion, and a beach bucket can start off the centerpiece. If you place these things strategically, you won’t even need to glue them together. But your centerpiece can be very unique if these items are glued and tower over the table. They might all be in the center of a merry-go-round that you have also created. Or they might stand in front of a towering ferris wheel that is also a work of art created by you. The base can be made of faux grass, perhaps a piece of an indoor/outdoor carpet.

Next your handmade party favors can consist of napkin holders out of raffia, and name plates with a picture of each of your guests in a small frame, outlined with tiny shells that you can affixed to the frame, and some raffia wrapped around it to match your napkin holders.

Your guests will love the idea that you created all of these homemade party favors just for them. It’s done from the heart, so it comes with a personal touch that cannot be bought.
