Nautical Baby Shower

This weekend I co-hosted a nautical themed baby shower for my friend Amy. I made the favors, a sailboat cake topper and cupcake flags. The favors are small blue paper bags I purchased from Michael's and embellished. I decorated them with images I cut from nautical baby scrapbook paper I bought at Joann's. I filled the bags with white mint lifesavers, then folded the top of the bag over, punched two holes, threaded a strip of muslin through the holes and tied a bow. I found the pattern for the origami sailboat here on Martha's website.
