How to Make DIY Monster Party Favors
1. Cut Your Toilet Paper Rolls
Cut your rolls in half to make popping easier.
2. Cut Your Tissue Paper
Take two sheets of tissue paper and fold in half. Cut along the fold line. You should have 4 half sheets of tissue paper per roll.
3. Wrap the Tubes
Place the toilet paper tube in the middle of the tissue paper. Tape one end of the tissue paper to the tube, then roll the tube until it is completely covered. Secure the other end with tape.
4. Tie Off One End
Cut a piece of curling ribbon approximately 12” long. Gently tie one end of the tissue paper closed, creating a candy-wrapper shape.
5. Fill With Gummi Monsters
Add Albanese Gummi Monsters or other Albanese seasonal gummies to the open end of your party favor. Fill it with as many gummy candies as you’d like!
6. Tie Off the Other End
Cut another piece of curling ribbon and tie the opposite end of the tissue paper closed. Your DIY Halloween treat is now ready to decorate!
7. Curl the Ribbon Ends
Run the ribbons along the edge of a scissor blade to get the ribbon to curl. Repeat on each side.
8. Decorate Your Monster
Now comes the fun part! Add two googly eyes to your Halloween party favor. Use markers to draw a spooky mouth, silly hair, stitches, fangs, or any other monster-inspired details you can dream up.
9. Enjoy!
Your DIY monster party favors are ready for your next Halloween party! Set them out as party favors, use them as Halloween table decorations, or let guests make their own.
