DIY Candy Party Favor

I may not be the Queen of DIYs in the Philippines but I always surprise my friends and churchmates with the party favors I make. After all the LEGO party decors and favors for my son’s birthday last month, I made these candy favors for our church youth’s Back-to-School event.

I’ve been part of our Youth Group since I was 11 years old. I’m no longer active but I serve as their Ate, Mother, guardian, and sometimes sponsor. I always look for ways how to help them. A couple of weeks ago, I surprised the group with these:

I already used this idea for the lego party. This time though, I bought pink candies. The candies are similar to Tic Tac but I forgot the brand. Each small container costs only P7.50 at SM Hypermart.

What’s a Washi Tape?

Washi tape? Ano yun? I’f you’re one of the millions asking what a washi tape is…let me tell you it’s just a pretty masking tape. Kikay masking tape.

I first saw rolls of cute washi tape in Bangkok. I bought a few although I didn’t know what to do with them. A roll is a bit pricey but like all cutesy stuff, washi tape is cute. The kind of stuff where you would waste your hard-earned money (like shoes, bags, etc.). I haven’t bought a roll of Washi Tape here in Manila but I’m familiar with a few sellers.

What can you do with a WASHI TAPE?

If you’re into DIYs….Do-It-Yourself not do-it-yaya… you’ll find a roll so helpful. Cut and paste. Tapos.
