Leo Lalande made these great handmade Procession sets as wedding favors and posted the pics on Story-Games : "A few details about its construction: The takeout box is printed on 110lb cardstock. The maids are 3/8" wood screwhole buttons. The brides are made with a 1" shaker peg (with the dowel end trimmed off) glued to the top of an inverted wood flower pot (3/4' Ttall I think). All the pieces are painted with typical craft acrylic paint. The buttons were dip painted in diluted paint for more even coat.

Hope the wedding guests enjoy the game! » More from Leo Lalande » Official Rules for Procession » Download the takeout box template
