Spooky Orb Favours
Materials:
  • clear plastic ornaments
  • tinsel or shredded paper
  • silver charms or buttons
  • ribbon (optional)
  • dried or silk flowers (optional)
This is particularly good for a Christmas wedding -- the guests can put these spooky orbs on their Christmas trees!

Craft stores often have clear plastic ball-shaped ornaments available. They're more common around Christmas, but some stores carry them year-round. The balls can be opened, so you can put decorations inside.

Fill them with dark colored tinsel or shredded paper. Toss in a few little silver charms -- craft stores often have faux-Victorian charms of hearts. Or look in fabric stores for unusual buttons. Add a few ribbons tied to the top, along with some tiny flowers for decoration. You can also insert a slip of paper printed with the couple's names and wedding date.

Alternately, you can put just a little tinsel or paper inside the ball, and fill it the rest of the way with candy.
