This Hostess Hero created delightful DIY party favors, washcloth cupcakes and brilliant bath salts, to make her baby shower one-of-a-kind. The pair gave each guest a little extra pampering and made the favor table a huge hit.
Washcloth cupcakes are a fun way to treat your guests to an indulgently soft washcloth, wrapped up and packaged to coordinate with the baby shower theme.
Make your washcloth cupcake in 3 easy steps:
- Place your washcloth at an angle in front of you (So it looks like a diamond) and fold the corner closest to you into the center. Continue to loosely roll the washcloth to the other corner, creating a flat roll.
- Now roll the roll. Start at one corner of the rolled washcloth and roll toward the other corner, creating a cinnamon bun shape and making a rose-like center.
- Once you have it all rolled up, hold it all together with a rubber band and add your themed cupcake wrapper.
This easy do-it-yourself baby shower favor also works great with a pair of cozy socks. Simply start at the toe and roll toward the top band of the sock. The heal with create the rose-like center while the fluff of the sock makes fun “frosting.”
Top off your washcloth cupcake or sock cupcake with a personalized cupcake topper for a special baby shower favor your guests will love.
Now, on to the easy DIY bath salt party favors.
- Find the perfect fillable container for your guests. This Hostess Hero use Empty Glass Canister Jars but any adorable container can be personalized with a themed sticker label or die-cut tag.
- Make your bath salt: Add Epsom Salt to a large bowl. Then add 3 drops of your favorite essential oil per cup of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking soda per cup of salt. Stir with a wooden spoon, and when you think you are done, stir some more! (Click here if you would like the recipe in more detail)
- Pour into your personalized containers and you will certainly impress all your guests.
Finish off your DIY baby shower favors with a pretty, coordinated ribbon and you will be an instant Hostess Hero.
