This kit includes everything I need for a few S’mores with the kids and no mosquitos, bears, or sudden rain involved, but it would be just as handy at camp.

I started with a chipboard box and painted it to look like a S’more – I tried anyway. I decorated the top with the phrase “Campers have S’more fun” and a camper. The little porcupine is embossed with a ‘puff’ embossing powder. That’s why it has that really textured appearance.

Inside are cello bags with contents for one S’more in each and there’s Sterno (my campfire in a can) and skewers to cook the marshmallows with. You don’t have to go camping to enjoy a great camp snack.

So, whether you are going camping or just going to visit family or friends, take a long a S’mores kit. Would make a nice hostess gift, too.

To make the template box, you’ll need the box template and folding guide (click image below), small sharp scissors (or a cricut x-acto knife), a ruler, a bone folder, and either glue or double-sided tape.

Take special care to make good creases with your bone folder along the folding lines, especially towards the top of the box where the heart clover “petals” are.

To assemble your box, cut along the solid line. The printable template does not have dashed lines on it so you’ll need to use the folding guide image below as a guide for scoring the paper. Use a Cricut ruler and a bone folder to score your lines. If you don’t have a bone folder, you can use a knitting needle or the blunt side of a butter knife to make your lines. The goal is to make a depression in the paper to ensure your folds are nice and clean!

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.

This printable uses the basic shape of a milk box, but with the window and candy-striped awning the box quickly becomes a pint-sized bakery. It’s super-cute and pretty easy to put together.

You’ll need:

2 sheets of white card stock for the box and awning
cricut plain white paper for the folding template
double sided tape
cricut ruler (or other straight-edge)
glue stick
cricut x-acto knife
bone folder
small piece of ribbon
clear plastic page protector (for the window)
hole punch

Example Fold out Box Designs

Print out the box template, the awning template, and the folding template. Cut the shapes out following the solid lines. Align the folding templates over the actual box cut-outs and use your bone folder to score the cricut cardstock along the dotted lines. Once you have the lines on your cardstock, go over them again with the bone folder to make sure you have good creases. Use your cricut x-acto knife to cute out the window panels. Now you should be able to fold the box into shape (just keep in mind how a milk carton is shaped and you should have no problem). Follow the same instructions for the awning. Top the box with the awning and use your hole punch to punch two evenly-spaced holes at the top. You will string your ribbon through the holes and tie it in a pretty bow, which will be the box closure (but you might want to put your cupcake in first!).

Enjoy!

Here’s a great list of little treats you might want to include in your Cricut Made Easter Pillow Box:

Jordan almonds or other small candies
a little stuffed toy
special handmade gifts such as finger puppets or spring hair clips
Easter stamping set

The pillow box makes a perfect cricut design gift box for any items that are irregularly shaped and difficult to wrap well. They provide a little extra special touch to the gift when a regular gift bag just won’t do. Or, use the box to hold party favors for your guests during your Easter celebration.

Here are your four pillow box color options. Just click on the image to print the PDF and use our pillow box folding guide over the print-out to make your score lines.
