I recently updated my Teapot Favour Box template so that a larger sized box can be made on a 12"x 12" cutting mat. To complement this, I have also updated my video assembly tutorial over on my YouTube channel.
With a removable lid, this adorable little teapot box can be filled to the brim with sweets or small treats and makes an ideal gift for any tea-lover! Perfect for birthday parties, wedding favours, Mother's day gifts, tea parties and so much more!
To make a teapot box, you will need:
* Teapot Favour Box template (PDF and SVG available)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF template and instructions
* Digital cutting machine
* Double-sided cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb 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 new, updated video tutorial showing how to assemble the teapot box and be sure to follow the tips below.
TIP 1 : Glue the two base pieces together carefully so that the score lines match up.
TIP 2 : Starting from the left side, tuck each of the six lid flaps into one another, then glue the small tab to the inside to secure. Make sure that all of the corners meet evenly in the centre, then apply a tiny dot of glue to the centre to hold it all in position.
TIP 3 : After rolling the rose to the end, allow it to unroll slightly until you get the desired size. Then glue the end to the base of the rose and hold it in place until it dries. I find that using a pencil with a rubber on the end helps with this.
So, what will you fill your little teapot box with? Chocolates? Candies? Biscuits? Teabags? The choice is yours!
And don't forget, if you team the teapot box with my teacup and saucer favour boxes, then you can create your own fantastic little paper tea sets!
You can even buy the two templates as a BUNDLE from my Etsy shop!
Happy crafting!
