Dice Favour Boxes

I love the idea of having a favour box that doubles up as something else, and my new dice favour boxes do just that!

Perfect for holding small party favours, they can be used as dice afterwards, or you could display them as novelty keepsake or storage boxes! However you intend to use them, you can find the template for these fabulous dice boxes in my Etsy shop, available in both SVG and PDF formats.

To make one of your own, you will need:

Dice Favour Box template (PDF and SVG available)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF templates and instructions
* Digital cutting machine (I have only tested this on my Cricut machines)
* Coloured cardstock (220-250gsm recommended)
* Thin card or paper for the backing panels (90-160gsm)
* Craft glue / PVA

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 dice box:


TIP : When gluing the numbers to the box, use an actual dice as reference to get them all in the correct place. Remember, the two opposite sides always add up to 7!

Have fun experimenting with your dice boxes, and try creating them in different sizes and colours!

I just love this metallic version, which I created using silver mirror card. I didn't use backing panels for this one as I wanted the spots to be silver, the same as the box.

Try making lots of dice boxes and challenge someone to a stacking game!
