My little silver “Charlie Brown” Tree recently went to a baby shower!
All decked out in party favors!
DD and I were asked to bring an appetizer for the afternoon gathering
We decided to make a snack mix, full of mini treats and some blue and white Jelly Bellies
We knew that there would be a lot of food so instead of serving it in a big bowl, we put it in individual bags and turned it into a party favor, a treat to take home
I got the bags at Target and DD made the tags [she’s a professional designer and has access to all kinds of cool computer graphic programs]
She made them to match the Baby Block Wreath
It hung on the door between the bar area on the patio and the dining room
We had plenty of bags to make a whole tree full of treats!
A galvanized tray held the overflow
By the way, if you don’t want to use a tree, the favor bags look pretty cute in a big basket too
Now, just in case you aren’t hosting a baby shower, you can use this idea for Christmas~
Fill a small table top tree with Christmas treats
It will serve double duty as a decoration and be handy to hold small gifts for holiday visitors
The bendable branches can be positioned to hold the bags securely or you can hang them from ribbon
I got my tabletop silver tree at Hobby Lobby last fall [they still have them in lots of colors] Christmas is all 50% off now~
I have had so much fun with the scrawny little thing, this is the 8th time I’ve used it in a year!
It’s quite handy!
