DIY Gag Party Favors

DIY Gag Party Favors
Every year my friend has a gag gift Christmas party.  I am always trying to think of gag gift ideas that are useful.  This year I am making use of Altoids tins.   Altoids metal containers are the best  to hold just about any small item.  No one throws these little gems away.  In-fact I think most people would love to have 100 of them.  I love all kinds of tin containers and wished I could get my hands on a lot more of them.

I wanted to make some party favors to share here on Instructables.  I made these adorable Altoids party favors!  They turned out real cute.  With the holidays coming up these would make just about anyone happy.  Cheap, quick,  and easy to make.  Hope you like them as much as I do!  

The Altoids kit contains:
  • Tea bag.
  • Coffee Creamer.
  • Sugar packet or a sugar cube.
  • Raisins. 
  • Mini tooth brush.
  • Home made Mint tooth powder.
  • Home made Mint or cinnamon tooth picks.
  • Spoon.
  • Dental floss.
  • Chocolate coin.
