Help! Bridal shower favor idea using shaker frames...

[qoedvc98]

I ordered shaker frames instead of sweet treat cups (ugh) for a bridal shower at my office in a week from tomorrow. So I don't have time to order sweet treat cups. Can someone help me figure out a way to use the shaker frames I ordered by mistake instead? I hope someone can help me salvage this or else I am literally up a creek without a paddle. Thanks so much!!

I can't think of a thing, sorry. Maybe you need to just go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby and get some sweet treat cups, or other kind of favor box that will work.

Remember, if it's not exactly perfect, it is just one day and one shower in the grand scheme of things. No one will remember those details for long (except you, lol.)

Good luck.

Thanks, The stores here do not have any of the sweet treat cups which is why I came here for inspiration. I think I have an idea brewing right now so I will post back later with an update. Thanks again.

How about birdseed? Or flower seeds?

Shaker frames like the adhesive circle things that SU carries?

If you can adhere them to a stamped back that fits within the circle, then add whatever - glitter? and then cover with a piece of acrylic, you would have your very own self contained image with glam.
If I had any, I would make a sample and post it. Have you tried googling shaker frames? There are a BUNCH of ideas. Good luck!

Thanks for the help everyone - I am going to make bookmarks using the shaker frames (from SU!). The bottom portion of the bookmark will be the shaker frame element and the top part will be a charm. The two will be connected by a ribbon. Of course, this is all a "design" in my head at this time - I have to run out tomorrow and get the charms so I can test my prototype. Will post a pic to my gallery when I am done. Thanks again for the suggestions!
