Water Bottle Goody Bags

To make these Olympic medal goody bags, glue a sheet of craft foam around a water bottle. Write each guest's name on cardstock; cut into 1 1/2-inch circle and tape to a notary seal. Add this seal to another so both sides are gold. Glue or tape ribbon to back of medal and drape over bottle. Cut a 3 1/2-inch circle from craft foam for each medal. Layer additional craft foam and decorate as desired. Punch a hole at the top of each medal and string ribbon through. Tie in a bow or knot at ends.
