3 Super Easy & Cute DIY Wedding Favour Bags

Décor & Flowers

What DIY magic can you do with a simple brown paper bag? Plenty! You don’t have to be a craft queen to turn something so plain into a fun little container for your favours, no matter what style of wedding you’re having.

Here are three easy and budget-friendly DIY wedding favour bags that involve a maximum of three additional items to make them happen, all affordable and easy to find. Just remember to make these well ahead of time, so you can cross them right off your to-do list. You can buy the bags on eBay in bulk, or for something more swish, visit the WOL shop.

Stamped Favour Bags

One simple stamp can transform your wedding décor and the humble brown paper bag – you can mix up the look by using different ink colours, or various shades of the same colour. You can have a stamp made with your initials, a simple picture or shape you love, or even your faces! Or, visit your local craft store and you’ll be amazed at the multitude of designs you’ll find there. So simple yet so beautiful and personalised to boot. We love this idea.

Paper Clip Favour Bags

A simple paper clip adds just a tiny touch of fun to an otherwise ordinary paper bag – and it’s a fantastic option for budget brides. After all, you can buy a hundred clips, even fancy coloured ones, for next to nothing, then tie a ribbon or tuck a paper heart behind it and voila! Your personalised favour bag is ready to make someone smile. If you’ve allocated a bigger budget for this, take it one step further with fancy character clips.

Printable Tag Favour Bags

There’s a billion shapes out there you can print, cut out and use as a tag with your little brown paper bag. All you need, aside from a printer and scissors, is a hole puncher and some string to put it all together – or use a simple paper clip as mentioned above. Take a single element of your wedding décor, like a flower from your bouquet, a vintage teacup, a shape of a globe if your wedding is travel-themed, or even your initials in a circle – anything goes. The result? Cute and personal!
