Make a joyful noise at your wedding with these oh-so-Boho-chic lace tambourine favors. Mini needlework hoops are adorned with lace, jingle bells, and ribbons to create a favor that your wedding guests will adore. Add our free printable tag for an extra touch of whimsy. Create the perfect scene by hand lettering on a mini chalkboard, and propping it up on an adorable wood easel.

Step
1

Remove the insert of a wooden needlework hoop. Use a drop of hot glue to glue the end of a length of string to the inside of the outer needlework hoop. Thread a jingle bell onto the string and wrap the string around the hoop making sure the jingle bell is on the outside of the hoop. Continue threading until the hoop is complete. Glue the end of the string to the inside of the hoop with a drop of glue to hold it in place.

Glue lengths of organza, satin, lace and glittered ribbon to the inside of the jingle bell wrapped hoop. We used varying lengths of ribbon to create interest.

Fold a lace circle in half and cut along the fold. Place the lace on top of the inner needlework hoop and then place the outer hoop on top of that. You may need to unscrew the top hoop to accommodate the bulk of the lace and ribbons. Once the inner hoop is inside the outer hoop, tighten the screw.
