One Box, Ten Ways

Send guests off with a note of affection. To add a ribbon pull, cut a slit in the top of the box. Poke a loop of ribbon through it, and tape the ends to the inside of the box top.

Show guests your heart of gold with a punch on each side of the box. Then cut off the top, add some edge with scallop scissors, and line with gold tissue paper.

Create a trompe l’oeil effect by printing our “gift” graphic on sticker paper and adhering it to the front of the box. Mirror the sticker’s look by tying a thin red ribbon around the box.

Tied Favor Box

For a soft look, cut a seven-inch square of lightweight linen, and set the box in the middle. Affix two opposite fabric corners to the box top using double-sided tape; knot the other two together.

To give your favors an Art Deco look, cut a V shape into the front of the box with scissors, starting at the top front corners. Glue a fan made from a 3-by- 8 1/2-inch paper rectangle into the open space. Line the box with colored tissue paper.
