She asked for Pooh and/or Tigger. Luckily I had a Cricut cartridge that I could use as I wasn't looking forward to trying to create them using punches otherwise. I apologize for the quality of the photos. I took them with my iPhone since I finished them on break while at work. Here's one side of the favor...
...and here's the other side...
The other 2 sides of the mini milk carton were pretty plain....I just stamped "hello baby" on the side where the milk spout would open. The Tigger side that you see above was not in my original plans. I had to add the cloud behind him because I got my sides all mixed up when stamping "hello baby". That'll teach me to just visualize it in my head! But I think it worked out ok. What do you think?
The hardest part of the favor was putting together Pooh and Tigger. I had to cut them out at 1.5" on the Cricut so that they could fit on the side of the mini milk carton. That meant that I had to draw in the eyes and eyebrows because there were only tiny slits where they were supposed to be. Thank goodness my nails are pretty long right now, or I would not have been glue the tiny pieces on (I have a hard time using craft tweezers!).
My favorite part of the favor, though, is the tiny clothespins with ribbon I used to keep the favor closed. I found the clothespins (great bargain!) and the micro glue dots at Pineapple Cove, and the ribbon (just what I was looking for) was from Stamps & Memories.
Supplies used:
Stamps: hello baby from Teeny Tiny Wishes (SU!)
Ink: More Mustard, Bashful Blue (SU!)
Paper: Barely Banana CS, Certainly Celery CS, Basic Black CS (SU!); Gold CS (Worldwin Papers); Red CS, Orange CS, Pink CS (unknown)
Other: Grass punch (Martha Stewart); Pooh Font cartridge (Cricut); Ribbon (unknown); Mini Milk Carton die (SU!); Tiny Clothespins (Loew Cornell); Micro Glue Dots (Glue Dots International); black gel ink pen (unknown)
Hope you have a great weekend!!!

These favors are so ADORABLE!! And I know what you mean about using tweezers...I have a hard time too! Great job! :-)
Hey Fay!
Your favors came out really cute, you have patience!
I had to make Pooh Baby shower favors, too, and I used my Cricut.But I didn't have the baby one. First, I made them small like you at 1.5" then I gave up, too hard!
I made them 2" and it really was easier to make. I had mine peering over french fry boxes. But I guess I was rushing and the one my honey got (oh, course had to be his) was an Eeyore and the blue only on his face fell off, so his face was black! So, I told him Eeyore got to close to the fireworks! LOL!
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!
Hi,
Thanks for your idea for making baby shower with the use of milk carton. It is really very interesting. I think I will also try to make this type of baby shower. Thanks a lot.
