Cupcake Presentation Box

Have you ever faced this dilemma: Is the present in the box or is the box the present? In this case, the answer to both questions is “yes.” I first saw this concept at one of my favorite places for inspiration, the local dollar store. Although the party favor was small and would only hold a tiny treat, my version, featured on page 74 of the February 2011 issue of Crafts 'n things®, is large enough for a cupcake. Slide off the closure strip and watch my box open!




After you slip off the decorative paper closure to reveal the box contents, you’ll want to reassemble the package for display. Here are two more examples.

While sturdy enough for cupcakes, this box would provide elegant packaging for any treat or treasure. The Cosmo Cricket patterned paper is part of the DeLovely Collection. I know that you'll agree these projects are lovely!
