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.

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.

I love the boxes. Is it possible to change the colors to purple and blue?
Those are just adorable! What a great idea!
I might have to use something like that for the next bridal show I go to!!! I really like the idea!

How cute! Sometimes packaging makes all the difference, regardless of the favor. Thanks for sharing!
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.
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
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!
These are adorable. I can think of many other uses for them besides wedding favors. Thanks!
Theese are wonderful. I'm going to use them as party favors for my daughter birthday party!! And post them, too...
thank-you so much for posting these links! so cute!
Adorable! I know I will be using them at my wedding!
Love, love, love your boxes. My dauhgter's wedding colors are purple and lime green. Any way to get those two colors on a template. I'll pay for your trouble.
Thanks,
Dianne
Love boxes. I have small gifts for my Christmas party. Hope there will Xmas boxes.
So so so gorgeous!! If you guys ever consider giving away some boxes with a cartoon pattern style, I'd more than gladly giveaway one of my designs for it :)
Big hugs!!

Hi there,
How do you make the boxes so we don't see the dotted lines in the final product?
Thank you :)
I can't find the template when I click on the pdf file for the boxes. Does anyone know where I can find the pdf's?

Hi Kathleen,
Thank you so much for sharing these with us!
I've clicked on one of the links for the other boxes that you mentioned, and it keeps coming up "not found" - would love to take a look though.
The link is http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/06/01/our-brand-new-site/
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

These boxes are a great idea & very easy to make! Would it be possible to get the flower design in dark purple?? Thank You!
Wonderful paintings! That is the type of info that are supposed to be shared around the internet. Disgrace on Google for now not positioning this put up upper! Come on over and visit my site . Thank you =)
Thank you for another fantastic post. Where else could anyone get that type of info in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation subsequent week, and I'm on the search for such information.
