 We think plantable seed paper Pyramid boxes are a wonderful way to send a small gift, & perfect to use as a table favor for your special celebration.

Embellish!

So fun! Pull out the rhinestones, mabel. (And don't forget your rubberssssstamps.)

(1) Tips: Choose a paper or cardstock to coordinate with your theme. Match your invitations/rsvps and thank you. Score fold lines, punch holes and cut tab slot, then assemble box with a little glue on the tabs.

(2) Box Closures: The template has a mark for a hole punch at the top on two tips. The holes provide an easy way to tie the pyramid closed, keeping the contents secure until opened. Use ribbon and tie to close the box. This is a great opportunity to personalize and embellish. A few ideas, just to get you started....

  • CLASSIC:
  • Sheer ribbons for a romantic look
  • Raffia for a natural look
  • Satin ribbon in the wedding colors
  • WHIMSICAL:
  • Shoestrings for the wedding of an athlete
  • Wool strands for a knitter/weaver
  • Dental floss for a dentist

Another simple add-on that adds a lot of extra interest: tie a bead or a metal token to each tie end or glue a dried flower to the tips of the ribbon.

(3) Box Fill Ideas: The sky's the limit - anything that fits the box goes! Some classics...

  • Small candies - jelly beans, mints, gummies, 2 or 3 Jordan almonds, a couple of exquisite chocolates, chocolate kisses
  • Wedding cake wrapped in decorative foil or cellophane
  • Seeds for your favorite flowers and planting instructions, perfect when presented in a Plantable paper box.
  • A few beautiful marbles and a set of instructions for a marble gam
  • rubber chickens. Or motorycles, or jets. .  . need some? ask us!).
