Hi. Everything is so pretty. We are having a fall themed wedding. I cannot find a pattern or instructions for the Leaf Favor Boxes. Are there here somewhere on the website? Lochnes724@gmail.com
Hi, V :-)
I'm sorry, but you can't find the pattern or instructions for the leaf favor boxes, because there aren't any.
I found the image at Pinterest, and I assume one could buy those boxes somewhere. All the information about how to get these or make these has disappeared into the vastness of Internet.
I think they are easy to make.
You get the favor boxes, that can be of any type.
You make the slip pattern. (Measure around the box where you wish the slip to sit, add the width of the box and cut a slip that is as wide as you wish the slip to be. At this stage, use scrap paper, as you are shaping the pattern, not making the actual slips.
Mark mid point lengthwise on this piece of paper.
Divide the box width in half, mark that from both ends of the slip, and cut a slit on the slip a tiny bit over the median, but from opposite sides at each end, so that you can clasp the slip over the box.
To get the autumn leaf shape ending, you find an autumn leaf shape in right size (cookie cutter, GIF image from the Net, free hand, real leaf), make one leaf of scrap paper, cut it in half, and glue over the ends of the slip you just made, so that when the slip is clasped over the box, the halves meet to form a whole leaf.
Now you have a template for such favor box decoration.
You can make any shape, cut it in half and glue on the paper slip, to make any shapes, like hearts, butterflies, christmas trees, etc.
I do hope this explanation is clear enough. If it's not, just ask, and I'll see if I can make a tutorial for you. Or perhaps even the template. ;-)
