I’ve had this idea for wedding favors in my mind for a few years now but never made them. It wasn't until recently that I found the right size plastic bride and groom figurines and could barely contain my excitement. I grabbed the pack of tiny cheap poorly painted figurines and threw them into my basket. 
I have loads of extra spice jars but for a large wedding, you would need to find an inexpensive source for jars or ask your friends with babies so save their baby food jars. Baby food jars are a nice size for favors. 
There’s no mystery or big secret to how to make this project. Whoever was the first creative soul to spray paint a plastic figurine was a genius. Aren’t the little bride & grooms cute? Use some quality permanent glue like E6000 to adhere your figurines to your jar lids. Let dry and then give them 2-3 coats with white spray paint. 
Once they’re completely dry, fill the clean jars with some pretty candy. Now make 197 more of these!
You can put one wedding favor at each places setting or set them out on a tray.
Depending on your wedding color scheme you can paint the jar toppers gold, silver or a pastel color. How about several different colors? The sky is the limit.
I’m thrilled I can finally check this project off my list. It was worth the wait to find the perfect little packet of plastic figurines.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
I totally LOVE this idea. Where did you find the plastic figurines? I do agree using the wedding colors would be awesome also. Could also work for Quincineras, Proms, just about anything that a man and woman go to together. So cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you Judi. I got the figurines as an independent dollar store here in Los Angeles. I think it's called 99cent plus or something. But they're the type of figurine that would be a cupcake topper so maybe a bakery supply would carry them. Thanks again!!
DeleteThis is so up my alley! I love these! So creative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! My daughter is getting married next summer so I'll be pinning this to my Wedding Board for sure. Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteThe white is really pretty and way more classy than the one eyed groom!
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable. I've been wanting to do some dinosaurs, soldiers and animals to make little favors for little kids who visit our home. Maybe I'll fill the jars with crayons or chalk instead of candy. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteStunning! What a difference paint can make!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Wedding favors ideas! My best friend is going to get married next month at one of traditional wedding venues Los Angeles. She’ll use a traditional theme for wedding and I am thinking to buy a traditional gift for her.
