This project tutorial for a paper pillow box is a real treat.no pun intended. I made these adorable little boxes to hold candy as favors for my parents 25th wedding anniversary about 10 years ago. They are fun to make and provide a lot of positive imp for very little effort, which is my favorite kind of craft, especially when I am making a lot of them! They would also make great wedding favors!\r
\r
My favorite part of this project is that you can literally make them in any size.the only limiter is the size of your cardstock or light cardboard - and the size of the circle. I am thinking about making a bunch of them into Christmas ornaments to hang on my tree this year. I might even make them into an advent calendar! How much fun would that be to wake up each morning to find a little sweet treat or trinket waiting for you on the tree? \r
Why not use these for a baby shower or for a gender reveal party? You could use a neutral colour to make and decorate the boxes (Valitas flowers would be perfect for this.especially in white!)n and then fill them with pink or blue candies!\r
I love crafts! I hope you enjoy this one as much as we enjoyed making it for you!\r

***Important*** The best material to make this box out of is medium to heavy-weight cardstock or very light cardboard. ***\r
