Heart Favour Box

This adorable little heart favour box has an envelope-style lid and can be filled to the brim with sweets or small treats. Easy to assemble, it is perfect for wedding favours, bridal showers, Valentine's Day and more!


Embellished with a heart and a cute bow on the top, it can easily be customized for any occasion.


To make one, you will need:

* Heart Favour Box template (PDF and SVG available)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF template and instructions
* Double-sided cardstock / patterned card (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
* Lighter, double-sided card or paper for the bow )160-220gsm / 60-80lb recommended)
* Craft glue / double-sided tape

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

* Craft knife / scissors
* Scoring tool
* Ruler

Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the box, and follow the tips below.


TIP 1 : Start by assembling the base of the box, then move onto the lid.

TIP 2 : Use foam pads or sticky dots for added dimension under the heart and square panel.


TIP 3 : Before assembling the bow, loop both ends of the curved piece around a pencil or use a bone folder. This will make it easier to get it into the correct shape.


Once it's finished, it's ready to be filled with little treats and given to that special someone in your life!

Try experimenting with different colour combinations. I really like how this black version turned out.
