She’s also generously offered to share the DIY tips for these adorable Bubble Tin Favors with us, so read on for all the how-to info, plus a downloadable template for the labels and a few more detail shots from the party!

BUBBLE TIN PARTY FAVORS
Materials
• 6” Tin Cans, found at Specialty Bottle
• Craft Sealant (such as Loctite or Amazing Goop) for inside/base of can to help prevent leaking & rusting
• Pink Pipe Cleaners, found at Michaels
• Bubble Solution, found at iParty
• Raffia, found at Michaels
• Full Sheet Label Paper, found at Office Depot
• Computer / Color Printer
• Paper Cutter
Instructions:
1. Treat the inside of the cans with craft sealant to help prevent leaking or rusting.
(Note: This is an update to the instructions as per December 2011 after seeing via the comments that some readers had trouble with leaky cans.)
2. Download and print out the template for the bubble labels and trim just under and above the pink lines (so that the lines show) and horizontally at the end of the pink lines.
3. Adhere to the tins using as light of a tough as possible so you don’t leave fingerprints.
4. To create the pipe cleaner wands, shape the top of the wand into a circle, then twist the end around the handle.
5. Measure your raffia to about 18.” Holding the pipe cleaner in place, wrap the raffia around the wand and the tin, tying in a bow at the front.
6. Fill the tins about 3/4 full with the bubble solution (can be found at party stores).

If anyone was curious the photography is from Paul and Krystal of Studio Foto. The party was a lot of fun and little Audrey LOVED the cupcakes:)
What did you do for invitations? Really Curious. THANKS
What did you put on table – tablecloth or runner? And how did you print sign for water balloons and drink stirrers?
Love this!!!
LOVE it!
Pipe cleaner wands…brilliant!! Thank you for sharing.
I love the homemade bubbles. They would be great for wedding favours. So much more unique than the typical small plastic bottle. The labels could be made with pictures of the bride and groom.
Does anyone know the balloon’s size??….Are they 36″??…Thank You
Do the pipe cleaners really work for the bubbles? I tried it and I can’t seem to form the bubbles in the wand–solution just sticks to chenelle?
HI Candice –
Yes – the balloons are 36″. Nona – I’m not sure about the pipe cleaners since I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ll ask Abby about it for you. stay tuned!
Hi,
I am making these favors for my daughters bday but I am worried because the pipes don’t work, no bubbles are coming out. Am I doing something wrong?? Did anyone have this problem??
Thanks
Andrea
I am going to try and be a copycat! My question is, what was in the goodie bags??? AND, what other recommendations might you have on how to pull this off??
Hi Katie –
The goodie bags were filled with homemade chocolate chip cookies… and you can get all the details on the rest of this party over at Cookie Magazine and Style Me Pretty – here are the direct links:

What a great party! I am planning my granddaughter’s first birthday and wondering where the swizzlers came from. Did you make them or can you tell me where I could order? Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas.
