The Perfect Party Favor for Pennies: And Then We Saved

I may have gone a bit overboard on my 1-year-old's birthday. This became somewhat clear when I was hand crafting 2-centimeter-tall gold party hats for miniature woodland animals at 1:30 AM. But this is what I do people. I overachieve to a fault (at least when crafting is involved). Can I just tell you I am dying with excitement that a piece of my little Liam's party is featured on AND THEN WE SAVED today! I created the perfect little party favor for party guests and there are 3 reasons why they rock:
1. They cost under $0.60 each. (Holy buckets that's affordable)
2. They are versatile and, with changing only a couple things, can work for all kinds of events.
3. They are cute. The first rule of party favoring.

As an embellishment or accessory to the favors I created these little glitter-dipped paper feathers (tutorial below)...

Supplies

Glitter (gold was my choice)

Glue (Just your basic Elmer's Glue)

Paper


Steps


First, poor some glue onto a plate...oh yeah. 


Second,  paint on the feather where you want the glitter. I cut out a bunch of feathers by hand and just eyeballed it. I didn't really have a pattern to follow, but you are more than welcome to copy my silhouette.



Third, make it rain (glitter) on that feather!


Fourth, dump the glitter off! Tada!
