You will surely be
the hit of the party when you make a sleepover breakfast party favor for each
of your child’s guests. For one thing, breakfast is on the table in a flash and
the best part is the surprise detachable hair bow with each treat.
School will soon be
back in session and with it comes sleepovers. After they play till the wee hour
who wants to get up and fix a big breakfast? Adults and kid’s especially love
cereal. In fact, you can get a different one for each taste and dietary
needs. I used the round tubs but you can easily substitute the little
rectangular boxes instead.
Make a sleepover breakfast party favor for each girl
in all the same color or change it up to match each one’s fave. Then, after the party
each guest will get to take home a lasting memento. And you will have less
clean up and more fun.
Lets make a sleepover
breakfast party favor
Materials:
Individual Cold or hot cereals
Plastic spoon for each sleepover breakfast party favor
7/8” grosgrain ribbon in desired color
Hot glue and hot glue sticks
Mini Bowdabra bow maker with hair bow tool
Bowdabra bow wire
Rhinestone, cabochons, button or other bling for the center of bow
Alligator hair clip
1.
First, gather your
supplies. To start, measure how much ribbon you will need to wrap around the
cereal container.
2.
Starting at the
bottom, add some hot glue to the center. Attach the end of the ribbon and begin
to wrap around adding more hot glue as you go. Continue to wrap up the sides
and across the top. Don’t add any glue to the top center since that is where
you will insert your spoon.
3.
Then, continue gluing
and attaching ribbon down the other side till you meet at the other end. Check
to see that the spoon will easily fit under the ribbon on the top. Set aside.
Make the hair bow for the top of the cereal
4.
Next make the bow.
First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire 18” long, fold in half and insert into
the Bowdabra. You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the
other.
5.
Now, cut a 15” piece
of 7/8” wide grosgrain ribbon, then fold in half to find the center and insert
into the Bowdabra.
6.
Then you make a loop
with one end, bring it around and insert the end under and into the Bowdabra.
7.
Now, Bring the other
end across the first loop, bring it under and insert the end into the Bowdabra.
To clarify, it will look like an X.
8.
Now, to finish the
bow, push the first loop into the Bowdabra, then push the second (top loop)
into the Bowdabra and you will form the bow.
9.
Scrunch down with the
Bowdabra wand. Insert the two loose
wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra.
Remove the bow, turn to the back and tie a knot. Tie a second knot and then
arrange the bow if necessary. Finally,
using the hot glue gun attach an alligator clip to the back of the bow. Cut off
any extra wire. You may optionally add a small charm, rhinestone or ornament to
the center of the bow with some more hot glue because you can never have too
much bling! Lastly, attach the removable
hair bow to the spoon on the top of the sleepover breakfast party favor.
