Hello hello hello! It may have been totally freezing here this past week, and yes, there may have been some snow, BUT, I am ready for spring and I am going to be pushing forward with my floral crafts!
(I know. I know. Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking. 😂)
Today I have a new little free paper box SVG cut file to share with you!
This cute little paper treat box is topped with a three dimensional flower and is perfect for making Easter gifts, treats for tea parties, and even wedding favors!
I love making my own little paper gift boxes and have shared a variety of paper box designs here over the years. These boxes can be used for so many things because flowers are universal and you can use whatever color palette you like!

How to Make Your Own Paper Flower Boxes
DIY Paper Flower Box Supplies:
- Colored Cardstock
- Silhouette, Cricut, or Brother Scan N Cut
- Glue Stick or Permanent Adhesive
- Glue Dots
- Pencil
- My Paper Flower Box Cut File (you can grab it from the link at the end of this post)
Step One. Cut Out Box and Flower Pieces.
The first step is to cut out the box and flower pieces using your Cricut, Silhouette, or other cutting machine. You can get the free cut file from the link at the end of the post.
The cut files are sized to fit on an 8.5″ x 11″ piece of cardstock and will make a 1 7/8″ cube box (with a little extra height for the flower on top), perfect for holding candies and other small treats. If you want to make bigger boxes, just be sure to scale all of the pieces together in your cutting machine software.
Step Two. Assemble Box.
The flower boxes are really easy to put together. Start by folding along the perforated lines. Next, apply glue or adhesive to the side tabs or flaps and then adhere those tabs to the side to form the box. Finally, slide the notches in the top flower tabs over each other to close the box. To assemble the box:
Step Three. Assemble and Add Flower.
To give the top of the box more dimension and color, we will finish it off with a extra layered flower.
To make the flower, start by rolling up the fringed flower center starting at the end opposite of the circle. Then, fold the circle over to cover the rolled edge of the fringe center and secure in place with glue (a glue stick worked well for me here).
Next, use a pencil to curl the petals of the two flower pieces to give your flower more dimension.
Use adhesive to stack and secure the three flower pieces on top of each other.
Finally, fill your box with whatever treats you like, and secure the flower decoration on top of the box with a glue dot.
Et voila! Cute little paper flower treat boxes!
