Instructions
1. Stretch the organza out on a table top. With the ruler, mark off 9-inch squares, using the tailor chalk. Cut the organza fabric into 9-inch squares with the scissors. Make as many squares as you will have guests.
2. Spread out all your squares on a the table. Place a handful of after-dinner mints on each 9-inch square. When all the squares have received their candy, begin tying the organza into little bags. Tie each little bag with a ribbon in a shade that contrasts nicely with the organza.
3. Write the names of the guests on name cards and attach a name card to each organza bag of mints. The crowning touch will be a photo of the celebrant attached to the bag of mints as a keepsake of the event.
