5 imaginative ideas for "do it yourself" and supportive favors
Sure you can buy something ready-made, but creating something custom is far more appreciated. On the other hand, "do-it-yourself" favors are certainly cheaper and better if they are also supportive: in this way we can make a donation to an association or a non-profit organization that is dear to us.
But let's see how we can create our "do it yourself" solidarity favors. There are really all kinds and tastes, and they are also very simple to make. Just a little patience and a lot of imagination!
Here are some ideas:
1. Box with rosette
A very simple idea is to make a cardboard box with a rosette. You will need cardboard, sugared almonds, ribbons or crepe paper, glue, scissors. First of all, the box is built, inside which we insert the sugared almonds with tulle. Then we make the rosette with rectangles of crepe paper, folded like an accordion, fixed in the center with a thread and reopened in a pompom style. We pack the box by placing the rosette above it. It can be embellished with additional ribbons.

2. Glass jars with colored sugared almonds
Another quick and effective idea is to retrieve several glass jars, with resealable lids, and fill them with many different and colorful sugared almonds. Then decorate as desired with ribbons and tulle.
We can also think of buying pots of succulent plants, of those "just born" (available for a few euros even at the market) and decorate them with jars or colored fabrics, ribbons or personalized cardboard totems. They will be a really nice memory, useful and lasting over time.
4. Parchment
The parchments are also very simple to make: we can use cardboard, rice paper, or whatever suits you best. And above all we can personalize them with quotes, poems and thoughts, even all different, and then embellish and decorate them with sugared almonds and tulle, ribbons, flowers, etc. They lend themselves well to being solidarity favors, as we have a way to write about a thought about it.
5. Tasty jars
If you are particularly good in the kitchen and want to try your hand at preparing small gourmet jars, you can use them as a wedding favor: more "do it yourself" than that! Jams, marmalades, honey, preparations for hot chocolate, vegetables in oil, and so on and so forth! All packaged and presented in a nice and friendly way.
