Creating a sweet DIY baby shower favor is the perfect way to provide lovely thank you gifts on a budget. If you're considering making DIY favors for an upcoming shower, check out our cute ideas for inspiration.

Supplies:
- 1 mini watering can per favor
- 1 large heart cookie pan to create lolli-cookies
- Batch of sugar cookie dough
- 2 clear plastic bags per favor (alternately, you can buy pre-sized cello bags online or at your local baking goods store)
- Scissors
- 2 cookie sticks per favor
- 1 large bag of crushed Oreos
- Thin ribbon
- florist's foam (alternately - Styrofoam can be used) for the bottom of the can, to keep cookies upright
Instructions:
1. Bake a batch of sugar cookies using the heart shaped cookie pan and cookie sticks. This will create lollipop style cookies that will go in the watering cans. You can also frost & decorate the cookies if you wish.
2. Once the cookies have cooled completely, cover each one with a cello bag or plastic bag (cut the Ziploc tops off the plastic bags first), and secure the bag over the heart cookie by tying a piece of ribbon into a bow.
3. Place a small block of 2.5" tall florist's foam inside the watering can. This will create a sturdy base in which the cookie sticks can stand upright.
4. Place the cookies in the floral foam, and cover the top of the foam with crushed Oreos so it looks like the cookies are growing out of potting soil.
5. If you'd like, tie a "Thank You" tag onto the watering can handle with the ribbon, or have the watering cans pull double duty as place cards by writing guest's names on the tag as well.

Supplies:
- Small ramekin, 1 per favor
- Batch of cinnamon roll dough
- Cellophane
- Ribbon
- Thank you tags to attach
- Baby diaper pins, 1 per favor
Instructions:
1. Roll the cinnamon rolls into shape and place them inside the ramekin, one to a dish. Make sure they are about an inch less in diameter than the ramekins (there should a be a half inch space between the sides of the ramekin all the way around the cinnamon roll). The cinnamon roll will expand greatly as it bakes, so the space will fill in.
2. Line up the ramekins on a baking sheet and place in the oven to bake as usual. Stick a wooden toothpick into the middle of a cinnamon buns to ensure that it has cooked all the way through.
3. After allowing the buns to cool completely, wrap cellophane around the bottom of the ramekin and gather the loose ends at the top with a ribbon and tie a bow. Choose a ribbon in a color that matches the baby shower theme so the favor coordinates with the party.
4. Use the diaper pin to attach a thank you tags that read, "Bun In the Oven" to the center of the bow.
