Pot of Gold / Cauldron Teapot Box

It's time for another teapot favour box design and, although we're nowhere near Halloween, I've created this one in the form of a witch's cauldron!

But then, with St. Patrick's Day on the horizon, I thought it would also work well as a lucky pot of gold!

The digital templates to make this favour box come in both SVG and PDF format, making them accessible for a variety of crafting needs.

To make one, you will need: 

* Cauldron Teapot Box template (SVG and PDF 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 box, and be sure to follow the tips below:

TIP 1 : When attaching the side handle, make sure that it is lined up in the centre.

TIP 2 : Once the lid is assembled, apply a small dot of glue to the centre (underneath) to help hold its position.

TIP 3 : Push the assembled triangular foot through the outside (textured side) of the circular foot holder, then glue the three tabs down to secure it in place.

There are many different ways that you can style your little pot of gold / cauldron boxes. Here are some examples:

Once assembled, your little pot of gold / cauldron teapot box will hold a range of delicious treats, making it the perfect gift box for St Patrick's Day celebrations or for spooky Halloween surprises!
