Below is a cost breakdown of the ornament and salt favors.
I did not include the cost of the paper for the tags because I printed them and cut them from scraps of paper I used for the invitations. I also did not include the cost of supplies for cutting, measuring, etc., because I already owned those items from previous projects. Lastly, I left out shipping costs for the shells and the salt because they vary so much and depending on where you live, you could just go out and buy these items.
**Of the 40lbs of concrete, I used maybe 1/10 of the bag and of the 1 Kilo seashells, I maybe used 1/5 of the bag. I plan on using both the concrete and the shells in the centerpieces and in other area areas of the wedding decor but I could just have easily made more ornaments. Same goes with the salt, I have enough left over to make 10 more favors.

i really really LOVE your favors! they are so beautiful and complement each other so well! did you do a post on your invitations yet? i’m really excited to see those!
love these and that is really cheap!
You’re one crafty bride to be!
I’m not such a fan of the ornament, but the salt is awesome. If only more of my friends were into cooking, then I would definitely use that idea.
How many favors did you make with these supplies? I’m curious how the cost works out per person.
Hi BD,
I made 75 ornaments and 45 salt favors for a total of 120.
Anyone who isn’t at the wedding as a couple, will receive the ornament…so I needed more of those. Although I have enough ornament supplies (except for the glass ornaments themselves) to make at least 100 more…I have enough salt to make about 15 more.
OMG! I think these favors are amazing. I think I’m going to have to do something like this. It’s perfect.
oriental trading company also has mini shells for a good price…~$4/bag (1lb.) i’m not sure the lb/kilo conversion (i think it’s ~2.25) but that could also be a good option for the shells.
