Homemade Baby Shower Favors

As you've seen recently on this blog, we threw a baby shower for my sister Robyn. A lot of the decorations were handmade at my house, and I wanted the favors to be the same. Although we had plenty of options for buying the favors, I felt that homemade ones were better in that they added a personal and genuine touch to the shower which had been so prevalent throughout all the festivities. Plus, these favors are practical, so unlike other favors, you aren't wasting your money as you would with regular trinkets.

I really wanted to use mason jars because they're adorable, and Star has been using them for her "salad in a jar" diet. Sam's club has great prices!

Decorating them is quite easy. Just cut out circles of decorative paper, tape it to the top, and tie some curling ribbon around it...
