Travel Themed Bridal Shower Favor

When I go to a shower of some sort, I can’t help but feel bad when the party favors are something that you can tell someone spent a decent amount of money on, and I know I will never use. My idea of a good party favor is either 1:food or 2:a practical item. For Melissas shower, we wanted to make a travel themed shower party favor. We found these adorable vintage luggage boxes floating around Pinterest and quickly decided- what do people use often that is the same shape? SOAP. Yes, a bar of freaking soap. Totally practical, albeit not too exciting. But thats the thing, I would rather know people will actually use it, and that I am not just throwing away my money:)

I got a great deal on the soaps from Amazon here. I got lucky with a friend already owning that great stamps I used, so that obviously saved some money. The white paper is simply from the roll of white paper on Brays play table {which reminds me, I cannot believe I haven’t showed y’all his table that J built yet, or the adorable mini Eames shell chairs with it!! Soon I will, I promise!}. And of course, the most amazing thing to happen to crafting in years, the gold tape is Washi tape.

Supplies:

-Soap

-Washi tape for the handle and detail

-White paper, or you could use kraft paper as well

-Stamps

 

To make them, simply wrap your bar of soap up in paper. For the washi tape I did about four different variations of detail, and then finished them all off with a stamp!

 

 

I ended up loving how these turned out. Super easy, super cheap, and totally practical for a bridal shower gift! And, the few that were left overs- well they will be put to good use around here too:)
