Not that the favors are the most important part of a shower, but I wanted them to be gifts guests would actually want to use.
Purell makes a 0.5ml, which is just small enough to slip into my pillow boxes. I searched online for reasonable prices on this small sample size. I found a charity selling a small lot of these for about $0.64 each.
I suppose I could have just popped the undecorated bottle into the favor pillow box and called it a day but- that's just not my style.
Paper Source (insert sounds of joyous choir here) sells sticky labels made in the same colors as their stationary. I picked up a roll of the same color as the shower invites and started cutting labels. I ended up deciding on a 2 inch wide dogtag shape which wrapped nicely around bottle.
Next, to pop the blue label, I cut flowers from pink patterned paper.
Paper naturally curls in the warmth of your hand so I didn't need any fancy tools to make these 3D flowers. Two layers of curled petals, a little liquid glue and my flowers were done.
Flowers need leaves so I cut leaves from green patterned paper and tucked them just behind the flowers.
The leaves were more of an afterthought so in hind sight, it would have been easy to glue them on before the flowers.
