This craft was designed when B-Crafty was part of a 4-member neighborhood craft club in California. As part of our crafting in the early ‘90’s, we made holiday tray favors for a local hospital. We would drop off 50 tray favors and the hospital dining staff would place them on the patients’ dining trays. It was so much fun for us and a great way to brighten someone’s hospital stay. All tray favors were built around a small candy cup.
