Original bonbonnieres

The tradition of giving guests small present has become a real trend in recent years. This gesture expresses the newlyweds’ gratitude for the guests sharing this day with them. Of course, each couple independently decides to give or not give gifts, based on their own views, preferences and the number of guests.
A classic gift is considered to be a bonbonniere - a container with sweets. Bonbonnieres can be filled with marmalade, cookies, dragees, macaroons or small candies. They don't have to be expensive; you can make them yourself.



Today we will tell you how you can make an original bonbonniere with your own hands.
Required tools and materials:
- small bottles or baby food jars,
- duct tape,
- acrylic paint,
- scissors,
- cork,
- a thread,
- cards,
- fresh flowers or plants.



Stages of creating a bonbonniere:
1. Take adhesive tape, cut it into strips on the tonic and cover the bottle, dividing it into sectors.



2. Paint the sectors that are not under the adhesive tape with acrylic paint.The paint color can match the main color of your wedding.



3. Then peel off the adhesive tape from the surface of the bottle and let the paint dry a little.



4. Fill the bottle with dragees or other sweets and close with a stopper.



5. We tie cards to the neck of the bottle with words of gratitude that you want to say to the guests.



6. The bottle can also be decorated with a living flower or plant, for example, a sprig of fragrant lilac.






Your guests will be extremely pleased to receive such a cute gift made by your hands.
