Cupcake Favour Boxes

I've given my cupcake favour box photos a little makeover! I originally designed the box to complement my teapot favour box and my teacup and saucer but felt that the photos didn't match. So, here they are!

The boxes are super cute and the template is easy to assemble and, once they are filled with delicious treats or small gifts, they make the perfect addition to any tea party or celebration! 🧁

To make a cupcake box, you will need:

* Cupcake Favour Box template (SVG and PDF available)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF templates and instructions
* Double-sided / patterned cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
* Thinner card for the icing panels (160gsm / 60lb recommended)
* Craft glue / double-sided tape

If you are not using a digital cutting machine, you will also need:

* Craft knife / scissors

* Scoring tool

* Ruler

Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the box and be sure to follow the tips below:

TIP 1 : I recommend using thinner card for the icing panels (approx 160gsm / 60lb) as the lid may not close properly if it's too thick. Patterned or embossed papers work really well for these panels to create texture and interest.

TIP 2 : Try inking the edges of the icing panels before gluing them into place to give them added definition. You could also use glossy card (as I've done here) or apply a thin layer of acrylic gloss varnish to really make the icing sparkle! ✨

TIP 3 : Allow the rose to unroll slightly before gluing it. You could also apply a little acrylic gloss varnish to the edges of the finished rose to look like a glaze.

Choosing your own colour scheme means you can match your little cupcake favour boxes to any occasion or celebration. I really love these vintage pastel coloured boxes. They would look great as wedding favours, or you could make a really big one as a centerpiece for a birthday or for Mother's Day.

This little red velvet cupcake box (that I made previously) is still my favourite! 🧁 I had so much fun choosing the colours and patterns for it, but it would not have been possible without my fabulous Cricut cutting machine! ❤️ Those teeny tiny hearts that I added on for extra detail are about 3mm wide! Imagine cutting those out by hand!

Whether you're using the SVG cut files or the PDF file, resizing the templates is super easy. Imagine giving a tiny one to someone with a surprise gift inside!💍

I would really love to see the little cupcake boxes you create using this template and what you put inside them. Maybe you could make one a little bit bigger and put a real cupcake inside it - then you truly could have your cake and eat it! 🧁

Happy crafting!
