Christmas Favor Box

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO

STEP 1: DOWNLOAD THE FREE SVG FILE

The first thing you’ll need to do is get the free SVG file you’ll use for this project.  I keep all the SVG files I use for the projects I make in my SVG Library.  These SVG files work with Cricut and Silhouette machines, as well as many others. This library is open to everyone and is free!  You can access the library here. Look for the file called Christmas Favor Box BA2403. It will be listed under the Craftmas 2024 Category-Day 3.

STEP 2: CUT THE CARDSTOCK

Open the design in your software program. Resize the design to 11.5″ high and let the width adjust proportionally.   If you are using Cricut Design Space, you will need to attach the perforation lines to the shape behind them. Cut the design out of cardstock.  There are lots of perforation lines, so it takes a bit of time to cut.

To remove the cardstock from the cutting matt, you’ll want to slightly bend the cutting mat and carefully pull off the cardstock.

STEP 3: ASSEMBLE THE FAVOR BOX

Fold the cardstock along all the perforation lines.

Fold over one of the long sections and add glue to the entire section.

Fold the cardstock in half and press down on the glue.

Once the glue is dry, open up the cardstock to form a cylinder.

Push down on one of the ends.

Carefully tie some ribbon around the cardstock.  If you pull the ribbon too tight, it can rip the cardstock, so be careful.

From the open end, you can add candy or small toys.

There will be a small opening on each end, so make sure your candy or toys are big enough that they won’t fall out.

Tie ribbon around the other end to close the box.

And that’s it, this favor box is finished!
