Sara Davies took to TikTok to share a clever craft to make kids’ birthday party favours for just 11p a pop

The star is no stranger to a craft or two, and founded Crafter’s Companion, a crafter‘s supply company, while at university in 2005.
Now, she regularly takes to her social media pages to share craft ideas, with the blue birthday parcels her latest creation.
to make the boxes yourself is a pack of paper cups, with Sara using some blue ones – which you can nab yourself in a pack of 60 for £6.99 on , making them just 11p each.
Sara demonstrated how to transform the cups in a video on her TikTok page, as she used a marker to mark the halfway point on the two edges.
Then, on all four points, use some scissors to cut out a triangle.
On two opposite sides, find the join and cut them flat off, before cutting “halfway against the ride” on the other two opposite sides.
Once you’ve done that, pop a couple of sweets in, and fold the two edges in, before sliding the other two into each other to hold it in place.
For an extra touch, Sara added a blue bow on each one, attaching with a glue gun.
“Here’s a fab little DIY that looks really sweet and only takes a few minutes to make – perfect for party bags, classroom treats, or just something fun to do with the kids,” Sara added in the caption.
“These are quick, inexpensive, and look really lovely all lined up on a party table.
“One of those little makes that’s easy to do but feels really special!”
“This is brilliant, thank you Sara!” one person wrote in the comments section.
“I love watching your ‘real life’ hacks! Keep them coming.”
“Wow brilliance, you’re so talented,” another added.
“I’m pinching this idea for my son’s birthday! They look great!” a third added.
“Awesome,” someone else gushed.
