DIY BUBBLE PARTY FAVORS

I just had my 50th birthday and yes, I ended up helping my husband with the party.  Since my birthday is in August and we have a pool, we of course planned on a backyard pool party.  Naturally we had to have something fun for a 'party favor' so why not bubbles? Who doesn't like blowing bubbles?  

It was easy enough to buy the bubbles through Amazon and/or Oriental Trading in exactly the color bottles needed to match our party 'colors.'  We could have purchased labels pre-printed with my picture, name, etc. on them, but after reading the comments about them on Oriental Trading I figured it was easier to just make my own, and of course I was right!  They were a little more expensive but I am really happy with the way they came out and that is all that matters since it was my birthday :-)

Supplies Needed:

• Bubble Bottles in White and Red (affiliate links)
• Avery Self-Laminating Labels - water resistant & tear resistant (affiliate link)
• Computer
• Printer
• Scissors

Directions:​​Create an account on Avery.com and design the label! Note that you need to test print on plain paper before printing on actual labels.  I had to adjust several times before I was ready to print but Avery's program makes it very easy to adjust the printer so that they come out perfect!  I actually designed the word-picture I used on a powerpoint slide and saved it as a jpeg file which I then simply inserted into the Avery program.  

I created this as one jpeg using powerpoint and then uploaded it into the Avery program to make the labels.

Tiny bottles of bubbles, but I thought they were perfect!

Package of 50 Avery Self-Laminating Labels - they are also water resistant which was perfect for the bubbles!

This is what the labels look like before printing.

This is the labels after printing. Note, I did several practice prints on plain paper first!

Then the backing is removed from the laminate.

The laminate is carefully folded onto the printed labels and smoothed out so there are no air bubbles.

Laminated labels are ready!

Gently peel off a laminated label...

Center it on the bottle of bubbles...

And wrap it around!

So simple!
