Printing Box Templates

- For optimum results, use the 'best' setting on your printer and highest quality paper
- Colors may vary depending on your computer screen settings
- Quantity will depend on how many boxes you plan to make
- Use a paper cutter (or scissors) cut out the boxes
- Notice that the temples with faces are slightly off center. This is to ensure the faces are centered once the favor boxes are folded
Box Assembly
- Place a strip of double-sided tape along the front left side of the printed square
- Roll the wrapper over to form a cylindrical tube and gently press together
Box Assembly Continued
- With the face facing to the front, place a small piece of double-sided tape to the inside of the top end of the box tube
- Seal that end of the box by gently pressing together
Filling Your Favor Boxes
- Fill your favor box with small treats; M&Ms, Skittles or Candy Corn ... etc ....
- While holding the sealed end, place a small piece of double-sided tape to the open end of the tube and seal by gently pressing together
- Make sure this closure is perpendicular to the opposite end forming a triangular shape
