Cheap, DIY Ideas?

Does anyone have any good ideas for cheap, DIY favors? The ones I'm looking at are $29 for 60, and personalized. So I'm looking for something to beat that price and not be a huge undertaking.

The wedding theme is natural (the favors I'm looking at right now are wildflower seeds). I like the idea of something unusual or quirky as well.

    What if you bought big bags of flower seeds from a store and then put them into smaller pouches in your wedding colors or something.  I know stores like Michaels carry different colors of small mesh pouches and they always have coupons.  Then you could make cards that say whatever you want and you could put directions for the seeds on the back of the card or something.  You have a cute idea, but I'm sure you can make it cheaper.

    That's true, and thanks. I also asked this in DIY and one girl described something similar to that. I might do that!

    you could also get the little terra cotta plants and give individual flowers or other plants

    my DIY favor is simple and i think they are cute..... i hot glued the small end of a mini resses cup to the bottom of a hershey kiss and put tule over top and made them into flowers, they look like tulips... i am putting a tag on each one, with our wedding date and names in one side and on the other it is going to say " tulips to kiss" it is kinda odd but it suits us

    You can find a wide selection of flower seeds and OTHER types of seeds at feed stores (if you live in a place that has them).  Generally, even around the outskirts of a big city you can find a feed store.  They sell their seeds in bulk for dirt cheap.
