Make Your Own Pillow Box Favors
About This Handmade Paper Project
Pillow boxes are the perfect package for small or fragile objects because they can be surrounded in tissue and easily inserted into the pillow package. No extra wrapping is needed since the pillow is made from handmade paper and is a gift in itself! Decorate the pillow box with raffia, ribbons, paints and stickers. Have fun personalizing the pillow box to reflect your unique style!
And if you love the idea of a handmade wedding favor but don't have time to do it yourself, check out the huge variety of wedding favors, seed favors, bookmarks and favor-placecards, all personalized just for you!

2. Cut out handmade paper and score along lines as shown. Fold along score lines.
3. Apply adhesive to the side fold and press in place. Pop out the end flaps to create a small pillow.
