Introducing my latest favour box design! These cute little cactus boxes are easy to assemble, and have plenty of room inside for delicious sweets or small treats!
Similar in style to my cupcake favour boxes, I used a hexagonal design for the plant pot base and created the cactus as part of the lid.
The PDF templates are available now from my Etsy shop, and are designed for use on A4 card (200-250gsm recommended), however they can be re-sized before printing.
*UPDATE* I have now converted the templates to include SVG cut files so that they can also be used on digital cutting machines. See my new blog post here.
If you don't want to use them as favour boxes, they would look great displayed upon a shelf as little storage boxes.
To make your very own little cactus boxes, you will need:
- Computer and printer to print the PDF templates
- White photo paper (200-250gsm recommended)
- Scraps of coloured paper
- Craft glue / PVA
- Craft knife / scissors
- Scoring tool
- Ruler
Approximate dimensions of base: 8 x 7 x 5.5cm
Approximate height of lid and base together: 12cm (without a flower)

As part of the template I have included an outline for the flower so that you can choose whatever colour flowers you wish to have on top of your cactus boxes. Alternatively, you can make them without a flower. I used up some scraps of coloured paper for my flowers, but if you have a particular colour for your party or celebration, then you can customise the flowers however you wish!
