October 12, 2010 Make Your Own Favor Pillow Boxes
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. With this project, we are using eco-friendly, blooming and plantable seed paper that comes in a variety of colors. Decorate the pillow box with raffia, ribbons, flower sprigs and stickers. Have fun personalizing the pillow box to reflect your unique style.
And if you love the idea of a plantable seed wedding favor but don't have time to do it yourself, check out the ready-made plantable seed wedding favors boxes and favor tags personalized just for you.
Project Supply List

How To Make This Project
1. Download the free project template. Trace template onto plantable paper. TIP: Use plantable paper, so that your guests can take the pillow box home and plant it. Wildflowers will grow right from the paper!
2. Cut out plantable 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.
