We love sending our guests home with fun and unique favors that allow them to take a bit of the party home with them; and that’s just what this Retro Bridal Shower DIY Caddy Favor does! We dressed up a few favorite kitchen tools with a 50’s vibe, added in some classic retro goodies and sent our guests home from our Retro Bridal Shower with some rocking ’50’s swag!

1

Using the foam paintbrush, add a few coats of turquoise paint to your wooden kitchen utensils. Of course, feel free to change up the color of the paint to fit the color palette of your party! We painted a wooden spoon, a slotted spoon and a spatula that we found at our local market!

After your paint has dried, cut a piece of white, Cotton Rickrack Trim long enough to fit around the utensil handle where your paint ends. Hot glue each end to the back of the utensil. Repeat this step with the other wooden utensils.

Place your newly decorated utensils into one of the slots of the Red Gingham Tableware Caddy. Add in the whisk (we went with a red whisk to coordinate with our color palette), bottle of Coca Cola and the Black Modern Cat Eye Sunglasses.
