Make Tiny Milk Carton Favor Boxes!
This weekend I drew a template for a teeny, tiny milk carton…and I LOVE it! Perfect for favors–for kids’ parties and showers of the bridal and baby variety especially–or use them as gift boxes. The finished size of each carton is 1 1/2″ by 1 1/2″. Here’s what you do to make one:
First, download and print the milk carton template out on to card stock. (There’s two templates per one 8 1/2″ 11″ page.)
Using a scissors, cut the template from the page.
Using a boning tool and a straight edge, score all the lines of the template.
Even the pointy lines!
Then valley-fold all the horizontal and vertical lines.
Re-fold the top fold as a mountain fold.
Cut up to the first horizontal fold as shown.
Glue the tab shut on the side of the carton. Then fold in the bottoms of the carton and glue in place.
Decorate your tiny milk carton, fill with your goodies and then glue the top shut, securing with a butterfly clip until dry.
Here’s some more decorating ideas for the cartons!
Thanks for the great idea. Looking forward to using these for my children’s birthday parties.
I am so in love with these…..now i need to think of a reason to make them
I LOVE YOUR IDEA, I CAN’T WAIT TO PRINT THEM AND PLAY WITH MY 5 YEARS OLD.
Thank you ladies! I’m glad you like them. And making them for American Girls??? That is just too cute!!
CUTE! I’ll be making some for our American Girl dolls to have their own individual milk cartons….just like the cafeteria at school;o)

Darling! And so itty, bitty. I have a 6-year old who’s breathing down my neck to print these out for her. Doll school here we come!

These are SO cute. May I make one, take a picture of mine and put your blog address on my blog? If not, that is o.k. They are still so cute and I love the pattern. Perfect for a “kiss”.
