Dixie Cup Booties--Baby Shower Favors Recipe #260595
I gave a small baby shower for a scout mom, and needed a cute, inexpensive favor. Found this on the internet, but made a few changes, instead of Dixie cups, I used Solo bathroom size, (3 oz.) plastic cups instead. You can find them at the grocery store. They are stronger, and work great. The shower I gave was for a baby boy, but you can use any color ribbon for the booties, everyone at the shower commented on how cute they looked!

SERVES 15 -20
- 15-20 solo plastic cups or dixie brand paper cups (3 oz. size)
- ribbon (1 roll, satin or curling)
- Make two slits about an inch and a half apart down the side of the cup.
- This will be the tongue of the shoe.
- Along each side of the tongue, punch holes for the "shoe laces".
- Run ribbon through the holes in the same way you would lace a pair of shoes.
- Tie in a bow and fill with mints, nuts, or whatever you like.
- Note: If you use Dixie cups, to keep the holes from ripping when laces are tied a little clear nail polish can be applied, but let dry before threading the laces.
