DIY Peppermint Favor Box with Cricut

The holidays are just around the corner and soon you’ll be busy shopping and putting together gifts for everyone on your list.  It seems like each year my list of people to give gifts gets larger and larger.  This year I’m getting a jump start on teacher and neighbor gifts with a cute DIY Peppermint Favor Box made with the Cricut Explore Air 2.

One of the reasons I love my Cricut is the versatility and all of the creative projects you can make with it, including unique favor boxes, tags, cards, and gift wrap.Diy peppermint favor box fb

I am a firm believer that a beautifully wrapped gift can show the special people in your Christmas list just how much you really care. I personally love receiving beautifully wrapped packages, for me, it’s like getting a gift within a gift.  I use my Cricut Explore Air 2 every year to achieve those perfect one-of-a-kind Christmas packages, and it’s perfect for whipping up last-minute gifts for all of the teachers and neighbors on your list.

Step 1 

First, open up Cricut Design Space and the Peppermint Treat Box Design File.

Step 2

Place your white and red cardstock on the standard grip mat and load it into the machine when prompted.  Make sure you turn the dial to cardstock and then press the flashing button to start the cutting. Remove the pieces from the mat with the Cricut spatula tool.

Step 3

To assemble the box, you first need to fold one of the long red pieces where it has been scored.  Glue the ends together.  To make sure that the favor box fits together perfectly wrap the other long red piece around the bottom one that you just put together and glue the ends together.

Step 4

Now it’s time to glue this part to the base of the favor box.  Glue both pieces to the round red piece.

Step 6

Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the favor box and fill it with treats, like homemade peppermint bark.  Add the lid and close it up.
