It's time for another teapot favour box design and, with Christmas fast approaching, I've created this one in the style of Santa Claus! 🎅🏻
Doesn't he look jolly! With a big, textured beard and a festive hat that doubles up as the lid, you're going to have such fun arranging his features and filling it with all sorts of delicious Christmas treats!
The templates come in both SVG and PDF format, making them accessible for a variety of crafting needs.
* Santa Claus Teapot Box template (PDF and SVG available)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF templates 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 video tutorial showing how to assemble the teapot box, and be sure to follow the tips below:
TIP 1 : Assemble the main teapot pieces first before adding any of the features.
TIP 2 : Once the lid is assembled, apply a small dot of glue to the centre to help it hold its position. The rose on top will cover this when it's positioned correctly.
TIP 3 : Join the two white hat trim pieces together using one of the small tabs. This can then be glued to the lid by lining up the score line against one of the lid joins and wrapping it around the lid. You may need to trim off some excess at the end, depending on the weight of your cardstock.
TIP 4 : Join the two beard pieces together so that the one with the cut out design is on top and they both line up at the base. You can then attach the face panel to the back (lining up the top edge between the two corners) and add the features. I recommend curling up his moustache at the ends for added dimension!
TIP 5 : When attaching the face to the front of the teapot, carefully line it up along the top edge.
Once assembled, your little teapot box will hold eight of these Lindt chocolates, making it perfect for table favours and Christmas parties! 🎅🏻
But what will you fill your little Santa Claus teapot boxes with? Let me know in the comments below!
Happy crafting!
