How-To: Summer-Inspired Favor Boxes

Boxes_finalOnce you've found the perfect favors for your guests, why not wrap them in beautiful little boxes that can be reused when they get home? Here's a fun and easy favor box idea for all you summer brides out there from our resident DIY expert Shana Faust:

Materials
Paper Box from local craft store (not too thick)
Japanese hole punch
Fabric or paper flowers


Step 1:Gather you store-bought paper box (in a colors complimenting those of your wedding) your Japanese hole punch, and the flowers you'd like to use. (These are vintage pics from Tinsel Trading.)

Step 2: Build your box, and become familiar with the piece that will be the top. Using your Japanese hole punch, punch several holes in the center of the top flap of the box.

Step 3: Separate the flower stems and feed 1-2 into each hole you've punched.

Step 4: Flip over the flap. On the inside of the box, cut the wire stems short and twist them into one stem so they don't hang down into the box and interfere with your favors.

We are always on the lookout for great new ideas for favor boxes. These are adorable and would look great at an aqua and chocolate or pink and chocolate inspired wedding.

What a nice Idea... We are having a Titanic Movie theme wedding, so I thought of Chocolate cameos from Lara Secord for our favors.

Thank you for this great idea! I am definitely going to use it for our wedding next month. Our favors will be home-made cookies and they will fit perfectly into a small cube box.
