Time to share another couple of DIY wedding secrets. #1. Adding accenting layers of fabric to just about anything pretty much guarantees loveliness every single time. #2. Couple the concept with the daintiness of a mini package and you’ve got yourself ‘guest favor perfection’. Given I’m a huge sucker for anything mini, using one of the sweetest mini containers around, I was more than happy to pull together a few samples for some visual inspiration. From the playful to the surprisingly sophisticated, here’s what just a touch of fabric can do to change up the look of one petite pail.

Petite Pail #1 – Homespun Sweetness

The Supplies

• mini metal pail 
• baker’s twine in ‘grass green’ 
• crochet ribbon
• ‘hearts’ design small rectangular tag
• lollipop

The Look and the How To

Step 1: tie your crochet ribbon into a bow and wrap the middle with baker’s twine. Hot glue the finished formation to the center of your pail, about a quarter of the way down from the top.

Step 2: hole punch your tag and attach to the pail’s handle using baker’s twine.

Petite Pail #2: Pink Perfection

The Supplies

• mini white metal pail
• mini clothespin
• jewel stickers
• ‘vintage lace’ design square tag in pastel pink
• jewel trimmed pink lace
• pink flower of choice (I used azalea)

The Look and the How To

Step 1: wrap pail with pink lace trim. Discreetly hot glue in the back.

{tip: if you can’t find a jewel trimmed pink lace, purchase a plain pink lace and do a diy add on using these self adhesive jewel stickers)

Step 2: add jewel stickers to tag.

Step 3: attach tag to pail handle with mini white clothespin.

Petite Pail #3: Something Blue…Something Rustic

The Supplies

• mini metal pail
• burlap trim in ivory (cut down to size)
• blue satin ribbon
• ‘homespun charm’ design small rectangular tag in ‘crisp’
• gusset cellophane bag for lining (cut down to size, such that only top shows but pail is completely lined)
• meringue

The Look and the How To

Step 1: cut burlap trim down to size, such that it covers your pail as shown in the image. Hot glue in the back.

Step 2: create a rosette with your satin ribbon, glue to middle of pail and middle of burlap trim. Wrap and hot glue excess ribbon strands in the back.

Step 3: glue or discreetly tape tag to pail handle.
