DIY Favor Packaging

August 3rd. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 46 comments

It’s been a while since we’ve featured some of Kathleen’s work on SMP. For those of you that don’t know…Kathleen is our DIY guru and has been providing the coolest projects made especially for our readers for the past few months. We first fell in love with her when she entered our DIY contest way back when, but have since fallen more and more head over heels as we see what she can really do.

So today, we are sharing some completley adorable DIY favor boxes. If you missed the first two boxes, click here and here.

favor boxes

The best thing about this set is that they are total perfection standing alone or mixed and matched! And, you know how I feel about yellow. They are just adorable.

To download the pink polka dots, click right here. To download the yellow stripes, click right here. To download the pink flowers, click right here. To download the yellow waves, click right here.

All you have to do, is print the template onto an 8.5×11” piece of card stock (80 lb) with a color printer. Score along dotted lines with a bone folder and a ruler. With an x-acto knife and ruler, cut along solid lines. Fold box together and tape shut with double-sided tape where indicated.

  4. How cute! Sometimes packaging makes all the difference, regardless of the favor. Thanks for sharing!

  5. mindy says:

    80 lb cardstock is not heavy enough for favor boxes from my experience. if you're going to put something in them like candy that has some weight, you'll need 100-120 lb cardstock at least.

  6. Kelly says:

    These & the previous are wonderful! I would love a bigger box! One that uses more of the 8 1/2 x 11 or a legal size! Cookie sized not truffle size. I would even be willing to pay for the template - in blue or green Thanks, Kelly

  7. Amy says:

    love these and I have been searching on Etsy the last 2 days for the right favor boxes.. just wish they were customizable by color and wording! Checked out Twig & Thistles etsy shop, so maybe I need a custom box!

  8. BigSis says:

    Hi there,

    How do you make the boxes so we don't see the dotted lines in the final product?

    Thank you :)
