Dixie Cup Booties--Baby Shower Favors image

I gave a small baby shower for a scout mom, and needed a cute, inexpensive favor. Found this on the internet, but made a few changes, instead of Dixie cups, I used Solo bathroom size, (3 oz.) plastic cups instead. You can find them at the grocery store. They are stronger, and work great. The shower I gave was for a baby boy, but you can use any color ribbon for the booties, everyone at the shower commented on how cute they looked!

Time 20m

Yield 15-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

15 -20 solo plastic cups (3 oz. size) or 15 -20 dixie brand paper cups (3 oz. size)
ribbon (1 roll, satin or curling)

Steps:

  • Make two slits about an inch and a half apart down the side of the cup.
  • This will be the tongue of the shoe.
  • Along each side of the tongue, punch holes for the "shoe laces".
  • Run ribbon through the holes in the same way you would lace a pair of shoes.
  • Tie in a bow and fill with mints, nuts, or whatever you like.
  • Note: If you use Dixie cups, to keep the holes from ripping when laces are tied a little clear nail polish can be applied, but let dry before threading the laces.
