Message in a Bottle Party Favors {DiY}

Today’s quick & easy DiY project from our recent mermaid party is also the perfect little trinket to give away at beach or pirate-themed party.  You could even use these as wedding favors!  They were a breeze to put together, and in my opinion, a nice change of pace from the normal plastic-toy-and-candy-filled goodie bags that accompany most birthday parties.

I found the little corked glass bottles at a daily deal site called Pick Your Plum.  The site features a different deal on craft supplies each day, but  I also found some similar (but not exactly the same) bottles here on Amazon.com for (around $12 for a set of 24.)

Here is what you need:

Step 1: Cut your messages into small strips that will fit into your bottle.

Step 2: Add a small amount of sand to the bottom of each bottle.

Step 3:  Add a few shells and starfish to the bottle.

Step 4: Add your message

Step 5: Seal bottle with cork.  Use glue to secure cork, if desired.  (We didn’t but probably should have!)
