This free box template for Easter treats is one of my favorites that I plan on sharing this year (check back soon for some more bunny boxes!). Spring has always been my favorite season, mostly for the exciting bursts of color that slowly start to make their way back into the world. The window in this box is easy to make and allows you to let all of those wonderful colors show through.
How to Make Your Box
Needed:
Pre-designed box
Cricut Pillow box folding guide
Cricut Sharp scissors
Cricut X-acto knife
Bone folder (or similar)
Plastic page protector
Double-sided tape
Pillow boxes make wonderful favor boxes for any occasion. They are elegant enough for weddings and simple enough for packing tiny treats for all your friends!
TEMPLATE FILES
To make the Cricut Cut out Easter Egg Pillow Box, print both the box and the folding guide. Cut out both templates and line up the folding guide with the backside of the pre-designed box. Now you can use your bone folder to score along the dotted lines. (Note: If you don’t have a bone folder, use some other object with a blunt tip, such as a knitting needle, to make your score lines.)
Next, use a Cricut X-acto knife to carefully cut out the egg shape above and below the “Happy Easter” banner. Once your window is cut, cut out a rectangle from the plastic page protector slightly larger than the egg window. Add a thin cut of tape to all sides of the plastic rectangle and carefully place over the window hole (be sure to tape it to the backside and not the front!). Now you can continue assembling your box as usual. Please feel free to refer to the post on How to Make a Pillow Box.
