Victorian Party Favors are a charming way to impress your guests with handmade elegance and timeless detail. Using a Royal Lace® medallion doily, you can create delicate decorations that serve as door accents or candy-filled place settings. Simply trace and cut your shapes with a pencil, ruler, and scissors, then assemble them using stiff paper and a touch of glue or tape. Add a ribbon for an extra vintage flair. These do-it-yourself favors bring a personal, graceful touch to any celebration.
Impress your guests with elegant favors you made yourself. Use them as door decorations or fill them with candy and use as a place setting!
