Pot of Gold / Cauldron Teapot Box

It’s time for another teapot favour box design and, although we’re nowhere near Halloween, I’ve created this one in the form of a witch’s cauldron!

But then, with St. Patrick’s Day on the horizon, I thought it would also work well as a lucky pot of gold!

The templates to make this favour box come in both SVG and PDF format, making them accessible for a variety of crafting needs.

To make one, you will need:

* Cauldron Teapot Box template (SVG and PDF available)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF templates and instructions
* Digital cutting machine
* Double-sided cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
* Craft glue / double-sided tape

If you are not using a cutting machine you will also need:
* Craft knife / scissors
* Scoring tool
* Ruler

Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the box, and be sure to follow the tips below:

TIP 1 : When attaching the side handle, make sure that it is lined up in the centre.

TIP 2 : Once the lid is assembled, apply a small dot of glue to the centre (underneath) to help hold its position.

TIP 3 : Push the assembled triangular foot through the outside (textured side) of the circular foot holder, then glue the three tabs down to secure it in place.
