Hi Everyone.
You probably thought when you saw the headline that I was giving away the flu lol! Nope just a cute little flu prevention gift.
I am leaving the 50's and turning the big 60 in April. Geez when did this happen?!!
My daughters are giving me a nice birthday luncheon to celebrate and we have been working on a cute little favor for each of the guests. It is this purse favor.
Is this not the sweetest little favor box. It is a replica of a Dior purse. Loved these when my daughter showed them to me.
We have been working on getting cute things to put in the purse favors. We wanted to find things that the guests would find useful to put in their own purses.
More about these favors later on when we get them complete.
I had a few extra of the items we are putting in the favor boxes. These are perfect for a little give away for all of you sweet friends out there and it will help with cold and flu prevention.
First let me show you how I got my craft on with one of the items going into the favor purses!!!
I took off the ugly label. It removed easily. |
Then I took the label and stuck it on a piece of heavy paper and made my template. |
I went to the dollar store and got this great contact paper to make new covers. |
It has lots of pattern choices. |
I chose the smaller floral pattern to cover these. |
I cut out smaller pieces of the pattern and put my template over the pattern and cut around the pattern. |
I peeled back the cut out contact paper and attached it to the hand sanitizers. Let me tell you this was so easy. Even a non crafty person like myself can make these! |
I think they came out pretty cute. A lot prettier than the generic covers that come on them. |
Another cute item we are putting in the favor boxes are these cute purse size tissues. Sniff's makes some cute designs. |

Hi Kris, what a sweet party favor. The purse is so girly and sweet. Love your creative touch! Great little craft with the hand sanitizer. My birthday is April Fool's Day....LOL Thanks for your sweet visit.
ReplyDeleteSign me up! Those flat hand sanitizers are the bomb!!
ReplyDeleteWell, this is the cutest party favor I have ever seen! I love it. You girls are so crafty. This year marks the big 5-0 around here for my husband and myself. He wanted a party, I said trip...but now I want a party so I can giveaway those cute purses...and make one for myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet little party favors! You were so clever to remove the ugly label and replace it with something so cute! I guess I should have been using more hand sanitizer because I have had the flu for two weeks :o(
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!!

What a cute purse. And I don't Think you are a non crafty person. You make things all the time it seems, lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't understand you're turning 60 soon. You don't feel like that age!!
I hope you'll have a great weekend.
Love Elzie
SO stinkin' cute! Those purses are gorgeous - what a great way to celebrate entering the next decade lol! I'm right behind you. I'm SO freaked out about germs now (I never used to be!). I bought purse size hand sanitizer and a mini spray Lysol today at Target. I was watching a report where they swabbed things like the key pads at the check out, etc. -- GROSSSSSS! So I'm going to spray these things before I use them or pick up that little pen to sign the key pad . . . don't care how weird I look lol.
ReplyDeleteThose little purses are so incredibly cute! I know all the ladies will love them. I love how you used contact paper to cover the hand sanitizer cases. I believe I have that same contact paper in my linen closet! Or, at least, very close. Have a great weekend, Kris! And thanks for the chance to win your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteKris, I think you are so clever. Cute redo on the sanitizers. Happy birthday to you. I knew you were young when I met you in Tipton. :) I know your daughters will be showing you a good time. Family fun is wonderful. Enjoy this weather warm up. Blessings, xoxo,love, Susie
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! I have that same Dollar Store contact paper!
ReplyDeleteWow!! what a sweet party favor. and love the purse box.. it is just awesome.. Love it.. have a wonderful time..
ReplyDeleteI love those purse favors. What fun your luncheon will be and how nice that your daughters are doing this for you. You were so creative to think about changing those covers.

YOU, are so crafty. What a great way to improve the packaging! Kris, that is so darling. And yeah, we need to protect ourselves as much as we can. And girlfriend, you and I both will be jumping on the same train in April. SIXTY, HERE WE COME, Kris and I!
ReplyDeleteHi Kris! You throw the best parties, I swear! I am amazed how fast life goes. I'm a few years before 60...but that day will be here soon enough, lol. I'm going to celebrate in style just like you. You will rock those 60's for sure!

How freakin' cute, Kris! And the way that sanitizer is packaged, it's super convenient for travel, too. Soon you'll be welcomed into this club of 60.....it ain't all it's cracked up to be, but it beats the alternative.
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative! What a beautiful way to cover these! YES, I would love to win a set. :) Thanks for the opportunity, and have a blessed day, Kris!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea on those hand sanitizer containers. I like the cute tissue wrappers too. Brings a smile to the face when you pull out something from your purse like that. Love the purse favor box- super cute! I beat you to sixty last year in March!
ReplyDeleteLove the little purse!!! Love how you covered the sanitizer too they match the purse :)

you and your daughters are so clever. Have a great time on you celebration. I too will be leaving the 50's in less than 2 short years.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog tonight and I am enjoying my visit. I really like the idea of covering the packets with contact paper to make them pretty. This afternoon I had my "love lunch" with the ladies in my Bible study and gave them each vintage heart shaped plastic boxes I filled with little trinkets. I found the boxes in my father's basement. I had fun gathering things and they were happy with the little gift. Thank you for some new inspiration.
