wedding favours – Esselle Crafts

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!

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.

Designed to hold a gift card and some small treats, the tuxedo / suit jacket box is perfect for wedding favours!

In anticipation of warmer, sunny days and with Mother’s Day on the horizon, I have created this pretty printable rose tea party set!

Consisting of a beautiful teapot box with removable lid and a matching teacup and saucer these easy to assemble favour boxes are certain to delight and will be the talk of the party!

I’ve also included a larger version of the saucer, which will make a perfectly matching tea plate / side plate, just right for holding wrapped chocolates or biscuits!

The templates are available as full colour PDFs and are designed for use on A4 photo quality paper (white, glossy 220-250gsm / 80-90lb recommended), however they can be re-sized before printing. All of the instructions are written clearly in English.

To make your very own rose favour box tea set, you will need:

* Rose Tea Party Set templates (PDF)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF templates
* Plain white cardstock or photo quality paper (glossy 220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
* Craft glue / double-sided tape
* Craft knife / scissors
* Scoring tool
* Ruler

Approximate dimensions of teapot box: 16cm (W ) x 10.2cm (H) x 7.8cm (D) / 6.3″ (W ) x 4″ (H) x 3.1″ (D).

Approximate dimensions of teacup: 11cm (W ) x 4.7cm (H) x 8cm (D) / 4.3″ (W ) x 1.85″ (H) x 3.15″ (D).

Approximate dimensions of tea plate: 12cm (W ) x 1.2cm (H) x 11cm (D) / 4.7″ (W ) x 0.5″ (H) x 4.3″ (D).

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

TIP 1 : Printing the PDF templates onto glossy photo paper will give the boxes a realistic, shiny finish.

TIP 2 : Match the patterned hexagon with the pattern on the saucer (and the tea plate) to give it a seamless look.

TIP 3 : For the teapot lid, start at the left side and tuck the six flaps into each other so that they all meet in the centre.

You can print and make as many of these items as you wish and fill them with lots of little treats! Perfect for Mother’s Day celebrations, wedding favours, afternoon tea parties and so much more!

I really hope you like this pretty tea set and will feel inspired to create your very own!
