Cupcake Favour Boxes

I've given my cupcake favour box photos a little makeover! I originally designed the box to complement my teapot favour box and my teacup and saucer but felt that the photos didn't match. So, here they are!


The boxes are super cute and the template is easy to assemble and, once they are filled with delicious treats or small gifts, they make the perfect addition to any tea party or celebration! 🧁

Diamond Gem Box

I was recently asked whether I could design a little favour box in the shape of a diamond 💎 and this is what I came up with!

I'm so pleased with how it's turned out! I've made it easy to open, and there's plenty of room inside for some sweet treats! It would work perfectly for wedding favours or as a cute gift box for Valentine's day!


You can find the template for this box in my Etsy shop, available as both SVG and PDF.

To make one, you will need:

* Diamond Gem Box template (SVG and PDF available)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF template and instructions
* Digital cutting machine
* 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 below, showing how to assemble the diamond box.


TIP: try experimenting with different types and textures of cardstock to see which works best for you. This smooth, mirror card one is stunning, but the ruby glitter card one is definitely my favourite!


I hope that I have inspired you to create your own little diamond favour boxes using my template and I can't wait to see what you use them for! 💎

SVG Shirt Favour Boxes

Great news! You can now make my shirt favour boxes using a digital cutting machine! I have converted the templates into SVGs, and these are now available in my Etsy shop.

Ideal for birthdays, Father's Day, retirement gifts or wedding favours, these little shirt boxes are easy to assemble, and I just know you're going to have such fun experimenting with different shirt and tie designs!

To make the boxes, you will need:

* Shirt 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)
* Patterned or coloured cardstock (220-250gsm recommended)
* Thinner patterned or coloured card for the ties (160-200gsm)
* Craft glue / PVA
* Sparkly gems or other small embellishments for the buttons
* Fineliner pens if you prefer to draw the buttons on.

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 boxes:


You have the option of adding a tie to your shirt boxes, either a regular tie or a bow tie.

TIP: If you choose to make a stripey tie, make sure that the stripes on the top part are facing in the opposite direction to the rest of the tie. This makes it look more realistic.
And if you would like to make these two checked shirt boxes, you can find the PDF templates here.

Don't they look amazing all lined up together! You could maybe personalise them for someone special, recreating their favourite shirts.


You could also team one up with my dress favour box, for a unique his and hers gift!

Happy crafting!

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

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!
