Tabby Cat Favour Boxes

These little Tabby Cat Favour Boxes make the perfect gift box for any cat lover! Easy to assemble, you can make the tabby cat head in any colour you wish and adapt the colour of the eyes, nose, whiskers and stripes to match!


Ideal as little table favours or for a cat-themed party, you can fill them with sweets, chocolates or small gifts. You could even put some cat treats in them like I did - much to Prince's delight! 🐈‍⬛


Available from my Etsy shop, the template comes as an SVG cut file, as well as a PDF if you prefer to cut out by hand. 


PLUS you get an optional extra white face patch to create a bi-colour cat face!


To make one of these cat boxes, you will need:

Tabby Cat Favour Box template (SVG and PDF available)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF templates and instructions
* Double-sided, textured cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb 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 : After gluing the side panels on, gently curve the sides using your fingers or a bone folder before the glue dries. This will make assembling the box much easier and give it a neater finish.

TIP 2 : Make sure that the (white) whiskers / mouth panel and the (black) eyes panel completely cover the cut out sections. They should line up like this:


The cat boxes measure approximately 11cm (W) x 9.5cm (H) x 4cm (D)  /  4.3" (W) x 3.74" (H) x 1.6" (D), however, this is only meant as a guide, as the templates can easily be re-sized to suit your needs.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own little Tabby Cat favour boxes using my template and I can't wait to see what you fill them with!
