T&T on SMP! DIY Favor Boxes III
August 4th, 2009Today I wanted to share my latest in the box series that I’ve designed for Style Me Pretty!
Images by me
I was day-dreaming of a vintage candy shop when I created these. This set includes four different patterns so that you can mix-and-match or just choose your favorite. Fill them with sweet treats and they make the perfect favor! Be sure to visit Style Me Pretty for the full post and to download the templates!
For some other exciting news, Abby is featured in this months edition of Bride & Bloom. The article is a behinds the scenes look at Abby’s life as a professional blogger. Being the huge fan that I am, I just had to have a copy of my own. I picked it up over the weekend and to my surprise I discovered that Twig & Thistle received a little shout-out as well!!!! At the end of the article is a section of Abby’s top 5 favorite things for weddings right now and she lists the DIY projects and favor boxes that I’m creating for her!
I’m completly honored to be included in her favorites list. A BIG thank you to Abby for the mention and congrats on her continued success! Be sure to pick up a copy of Bride & Bloom for yourself, it’s a stunning magazine and the article is fantastic.

ooooh…where did you get those straws?

Aren’t those straws cute?! I got them at Packaging Specialties, a local store here in Seattle but you can get them online at Kikkerland for $3.00. Cheers!

Oh Kathleen, These made me smile. Besides weddings these would be great with the 30’s fabric birthday flags you made in Jan.

Hi, Could you please tell me where you source your packaging dieline templates? Do you make them yourself or is there a site you get them from? Love the design! Thanks!

Hi Vanessa, good question. I design the templates myself in Illustrator. If you google “box templates” you do get quite a good selection of free templates if you’re interested. Best of luck!

Hi Kathleen, i love your boxes!
Is there any way though, that i can get your plain box template without the prints? Yours seem to be the easiest one of them all. Thank you. More crafting powers to you!

I like these designs too! They are very cheerful.
How do you actually make the bozes? Do you cut them out by hand or do you print directly on flat cut outs, or do you send them to a printer? Thanks!

Hi Anton,
Directions are included in the PDF but essentially you print them onto a flat 8.5″x11 sheet of paper, cut and fold. You could also send them to a printer like Kinko’s. Hope that helps!

Kathleen,
I love the boxes and would love to use them for an upcoming party! Can you tell me what PMS color you used for the pink boxes? I’d like them to coordinate with my other printed pieces.
Thanks!
