“W” is for Wood Favor Tags

September 13, 2013

Paint: wood favor tags
Handpainted wood favor tags for a bridal party.
They could be ornaments, gift tags, a nice way to personalize your bag, or just hang in your home:

These favor tags were made specifically to match the wedding colors, red and turquoise:
Another version (done Spring of 2012) in navy:
How to make handpainted wood favor tags:

1. I used 3″ wood circlular disks (from Michaels or here).
Print out the letters, I used Arial font in bold at 120 point:
2. Find the center of the letter by folding into quarters.
Line up center of letter and center of disc then using a ball point pen trace the outline of the letter:

The pressure from the pen will leave an indent in the wood:

3. Make 2 paper circle templates, one slightly smaller than 3″ and one 1/8″ smaller yet:

4. The smaller circle will become the red background area of the letter.
Center the cirlcle and trace around the edge:

5. Paint inside the circle and avoid painting inside the letter:

6. Using the larger paper circle template make equidistance notches for the dot border detail.:

7. Add dot border using end of paint brush:

8. Drill a hole at top center for string:

9. Seal with clear poly:
Add jute string and ready to hang, tie or give!

    These are adorable! I think they would look super cute tied to bouquets for bridesmaids and the bride too. 🙂
