Gingerbread House Teapot Gift Box

6th Jul 20256th Jul 2025 EsselleCraftsLeave a comment

During one of the hottest weeks of the year so far, here I am thinking about Christmas!

I had such lovely feedback following the launch of my Cottage Teapot Box design last month that I decided to continue with the house-shaped theme and create one in the style of a classic gingerbread house!

If you’re ready to sprinkle some early Christmas magic, then these charming little boxes are perfect to make for table favours, teacher gifts or seasonal home decor. Fill them with sweet treats or small gifts and they’re guaranteed to deliver warm memories to anyone who receives one!

The templates come as both SVG cut files and printable PDFs, making them accessible for a variety of crafting needs.

To make one, you will need:

* Gingerbread House 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 : Glue the white icing piece to the front pitched window piece using the two triangular tabs only. Do this before attaching it to the inside of the pitched roof.

TIP 2 : Assemble the chimney before gluing the icing to the top. The chimney icing piece has no score lines, but will simply wrap around the chimney. Just remember to keep the join at the back.

TIP 3 : The decorative icing swirls can be placed anywhere around the teapot box. The designs are mirrored (flipped), so if you add them to the handle and spout, they will be the same on both sides.

Cactus Favour Box Papercraft Template

11th Jun 202522nd Jul 2026 EsselleCraftsLeave a comment

These cute little cactus favour boxes are so easy to make and look so realistic with their gorgeous paper flowers on top.

Three papercraft favour boxes in the shape of a cactus in a plant pot with colourful paper flowers on the top

If you’re having a garden party, they would be perfect for holding sweets or small treats. But if you don’t want to use them as favour boxes, you could give one as a new home gift, or maybe make several and display them in a row on a shelf or a sunny windowsill.

A papercraft favour box in the shape of a cactus in a plant pot with a pink paper flower on the top

To make your very own little cactus boxes, you will need:

Cactus Favour Box template (SVG and PDF available)
Computer and printer to print the PDF templates and instructions
Digital cutting machine
Double sided, plain or patterned cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
Thinner card for the flower (160-200gsm / 60-80lb 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 cactus box, and be sure to follow the tips below:

TIP 1 : Before assembling the box, try embossing the cactus plant pieces. I did this with all of mine using a small flower embossing folder, and it gives extra texture and a realistic thickness to the plant.

TIP 2 : Once assembled, apply a small amount of white acrylic paint to each spike to create a more realistic look.

These boxes are fun to create, and are so tactile with their (not so spiky) spikes. You can mix and match them in their pots and create different coloured flowers to match a particular colour scheme using scraps of paper. And if you don’t want to use them as favour boxes, they would look great displayed upon a shelf as little storage boxes.

I hope this has inspired you to start creating your own little cactus boxes and, if you plan to give them away as favours, maybe you could make one or two for yourself as well. After all, they really are the easiest houseplants to look after! 🌵

Happy crafting 🌵

Cosy Cottage Teapot Box

23rd May 202522nd Jun 2025 EsselleCrafts1 Comment

It’s time for another teapot favour box design! After having such fun designing my Teapot Dome inspired teapot box, I decided to create one in the style of a cosy, country cottage!

A 3D paper craft teapot gift box made in the style of a cosy country cottage with a pink door and pink windows decorated with small paper flowers

Perfect for birthdays, garden parties or housewarming gifts, the templates to make this box come as both SVG cut files and printable PDFs, making them accessible for a variety of crafting needs.

To make one, you will need:

* Cottage 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 : If you would like to emboss the main body of the teapot, or the lid, then this should be done first before assembling. For this teapot, I used this Sizzix 3D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder on the main body, the handle, spout and pitched roof piece. I had to do three passes on both of the main body pieces, carefully covering one side at a time.

And for this teapot box, I used this roof tile embossing folder on the lid. Again, I had to do three passes, covering two lid flaps at a time.

TIP 2 : Glue the two doors and the four rectangular windows and window frames in place whilst the main teapot piece is still flat.

TIP 3 : For the pitched roof, push the right side tab under the front lid flap and the left side tab under the lid flap on the left. Press it down firmly to secure it in place.

TIP 4 : When attaching the (white) pitched roof window piece, apply glue to the front of the (brown) lid as well as the two tabs on the white piece. By leaving the window off at this stage, you should be able to poke a thin pair of tweezers through the window gaps to press it into place.

Once fully assembled, your cosy cottage teapot box will hold a range of small gifts or delicious treats. But that’s not all! With the addition of a string of battery operated lights inside, this versatile box can also serve as a glowing lantern centrepiece – guaranteed to impress!

Tuxedo / Suit Jacket Favour Boxes

23rd Mar 202530th Mar 2025 EsselleCraftsLeave a comment

I have just updated my Tuxedo Favour Box template to include a regular tie as well as the bow tie. This means that you can now use the template to make a smart suit jacket box!

A dark grey paper craft suit jacket favour box with a white shirt a light purple tie and matching handkerchief in the top pocket

You can make the suit jacket box using any coloured or patterned cardstock you like. You could even personalise it for a wedding or other special occasion using a particular colour scheme. And how about adding a matching tie and handkerchief! The possibilities are endless!

Remember, if you are making the tuxedo box, I recommend coating the lapels, pocket trims, button and bow tie pieces with clear acrylic gloss varnish to create that iconic satin finish, or alternatively use a black satin finish cardstock.

The tuxedo box templates come in both SVG and PDF format, making them accessible for a variety of crafting needs and can be perfectly paired with my dress favour box templates.
