Pumpkin Favor Box 2

Hello, crafty friends! This is Lindsay (Lindsay’s Layouts), sharing a project for the Lori Whitlock Creative Team. I’m hosting a baby shower for a dear friend, and I needed some favor boxes for the attendees to take home with them. I chose the Pumpkin Favor Box 2 (svg, silhouette) and used the “Special Delivery Baby Girl” collection, designed by Lori for Echo Park. The colors in the collection are perfect for a fall baby shower! I also used some kraft and dusty rose cardstock for the bases. Let me walk you through my process:

First, I uploaded the project into Design Space. I cut enough pieces to make 12 boxes. The first photos show a single set of cut pieces. I numbered the flaps in the order that I would fold them into the box. Then I added strong tape to the flaps as shown below.

I wanted more of an open gift bag feel for the favors, so I decided to fold two of the flaps into the box and adhere. This keeps them out of the way. I inked all of my pieces with brown ink and then began assembly. I used foam adhesive to pop up the center of the pumpkin.

I folded all of the panels and adhered the favor box base. Then I wrapped the rose cardstock belt piece around the base. All that’s left is the pumpkin, some cute ribbon and the surprises that will be tucked inside!

The next time you are hosting a party or shower, I hope you’ll consider these quick, adorable favor boxes. They can be customized for any occasion. It was also very easy to make bulk quantities. Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Crafting! — Lindsay

Baby Diaper Boxes – Baby Shower Favor

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I am in the middle of baby shower prep … actually it’s one week away and I am beginning to panic. I wanted to make some baby shower party favors for the tables and thought this Baby Diaper Box (SVG, Silhouette) was adorable. I used Lori’s Birthday Boy collection to add some boy colors to my diapers since my son and his girlfriend are expecting a boy.

I added an actual safety pin in my diaper boxes for a realistic look. Some fun washi tape makes it just a bit more fun. These boxes have a lid to close completely so you could even use them for gift giving. A gift card would fit inside nicely.

Lori has lots of baby shower/party favor ideas in her shop. Go check them all out and have some fun making your own party favor boxes!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Baby Shoe Cut File Tutorial

Looking for a really cute Baby Shower Favor?  How about this adorable little Baby Shoe (SVG, Silhouette).    

This little shoe is easy to assemble and can be made in any color to match your shower theme! 
Start out by cutting the pieces.  You have 2 bottom pieces (each the same size) and the top of the shoe.

On the “wrong” side of one of the bottom pieces, I measured up about one inch from the heel and drew a line. (the bottom pieces both have a wider end which is the top of the shoe, and a narrower end which is the heel.)  You don’t need to do this part, I just found it easier to place where to start gluing on the shoe top.

Starting at the 1″ mark, glue the top of the shoe to the bottom piece going in the direction of the top of the shoe.

Continue all the way around the shoe, making sure there are no gaps.   When  you  are  done, there will be an overlap of one tab.

Add a little adhesive in the overlap of the top piece and secure.

Add the second bottom piece to the bottom of the shoe to cover the tabs.

All that is left is to glue the shoe strap  down and decorate!  I added a button to the strap and a little bow to the shoe top.  Now to fill it with a sweet treat!

This tutorial will also help with the assembly of the Explosion Box Baby Shoes File (SVG, Silhouette).  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
