Several readers have emailed me asking me what I used to make the party favors for my church's women's event. Here is my work table ready to assemble the little pots. I like to set everything out and precut anything ahead of time so I can move quickly - assembly line like. I bought peat pots at Big Lots - 10 pots for $1.00. I already had a roll of green paper raffia from another project. I think I bought it at Michaels. I also picked up a bag of excelsior from Michaels with my 40% off coupon. For 80 party favors I used 1 1/2 bags. So that I didn't have to use a lot of the excelsior, I recycled some of the shredding from my paper shredder in the bottom of the pots. I tied a strip of the paper raffia around each pot and filled it half full of shredded paper. I printed out little paper tags onto card stock. I just used the column setting in Word, getting 8 tags on each sheet...
