Spring Favors: How to Make the Bird Boxes

First have a calligrapher write out the bride's and groom's names and a message, then have the writing made into rubber stamps. The boxes come flat: Stamp the lids as shown; let ink dry overnight. Poke a small hole in the center of the lid with an awl (available at hardware stores). Fold box and lid. Slip bird's foot through the hole.

    Another fun spring party favor is the TickleMe Plant. In it you can grow a real tropical plant that moves and closes its fern like leaves when Tickled.
    I bet Martha would love growing a pet TickleMe Plant. http://www.ticklemeplant.com

    I can also not find the boxes. All the links send me to an error page of ellison.

    I love this idea too. I have been searching for the boxes and the birds. I found where the birds came from; it is a die cut-out for an Ellison machine. Here is a link: http://www.ellison.com/shop/?p=product_detail

    I love this idea for the favors b/c it reflects our invitations with a bird motif. Does anyone know where I can get the boxes and/or the birds cut-outs?
