Flower Favour Box

Similar in design to my Beehive Favour Box and my Graduation Star Box, this pretty Flower Favour Box is super easy to make, and can be filled with sweets or small treats!

Perfect for birthday parties, Mother's Day gifts, wedding favours and more, the template for this box is available through my Etsy shop as an SVG cut file, as well as a PDF if you prefer to cut out by hand.

To make one, you will need:

Flower Favour Box template (PDF and SVG available)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF template and instructions
* Digital cutting machine
* Double sided, patterned cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
* Craft glue / double-sided tape
* Ribbon

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 be sure to follow the tips below:


TIP 1 : Make sure that the base is lined up carefully against the score lines. Adding the extra hexagon piece to the inside of the box will hide the tabs and strengthen the base.


TIP 2 : When tying the box up for the first time, pull the ribbon gently to allow all of the petals to join up equally in the centre.


TIP 3 : The petals can be arranged in two different ways. They can either be overlapped to look like an open flower (as shown on the right) or spread out (as shown on the left):

These are such pretty little boxes for gifting small treats, so I hope that you are now inspired to create your own flower favour boxes!


Happy crafting!
