Message-In-A-Bottle Party Favors
Party planning is one of my favorite things to do. I just love coming up with lots of fun, creative details to make the event extra special. It’s especially fun when the party has a theme! These cute Message-in-a-Bottle favors would be perfect for a mermaid or ocean themed party. They could even become an activity for guests to make their own to take home!

- The first step is to fill your jars with sand. I created layers using natural sand I brought home from the beach, and some blue colored sand I had on hand. Using a funnel, pour the sand into the bottles, one spoonful at a time. Alternate the different colors to create. Fill each bottle about half way.

- Next drop in some seashells. Use the end of the spoon or a chopstick to carefully arrange each shell in the sand.

- Finally, you want to add your message! Cut a small piece of paper. I cut mine to be 2”x4”. Write your message, roll up into a scroll and tie with baker’s twine. Then carefully drop it into the bottle and again, use a spoon end/chopstick to arrange it inside the bottle. Seal with a cork.

- To give these as party favors, I decorated each bottle with a [url href=”https://www.evermine.com/tags/preview/HTMD23-19/” target=”_blank”]custom scallop favor tag[/url] in the style, Mermaid.

I cant find the mini wine bottle instructions. The Sand in the Bottles comes up when I click it.
Hi Jae! I’m so sorry for the inconvenience – sometimes our website addresses change and our links don’t. What mini wine bottle instructions are you referring to? I’ll try to find it for you!
