This scalloped round favor box brings vintage, bakery-window charm to small treats — truffles, macarons, bath bombs, rings, or potpourri. The cylinder rolls from a single strip, the disc base keeps it sturdy, and the scalloped lid lifts off for an elegant reveal. Lovely for weddings, tea parties, and baby showers.
How to assemble
- Cut — Load 65–110 lb cardstock and cut the file. Solid black lines are the cut paths.
- Score — Run the dashed lines as score/fold lines (the separate SCORE layer). Scoring makes crisp folds.
- Fold — Fold every scored line, folding away from the scored side for sharp edges.
- Glue — Glue the wall seam, fold the bottom tabs onto the base disc, then glue the lid skirt. Let it set before filling.
Cardstock tip: Use 65–110 lb (176–300 gsm) cardstock. 65 lb folds easily for small boxes; 80–110 lb gives larger boxes and lids more structure. Always score before folding.
Decorating & Gift Ideas
The scalloped round box is the dressy one — that frilled, petal-edged lid makes even a plain piece of cardstock look like it came from a gift shop. It is a wedding and bridal-shower staple: fill it with sugared almonds, truffles, or a delicate piece of jewelry for the bridesmaids. It also makes a lovely keepsake box for a ring, a lock of baby’s hair, or a single ornament. Because the round lid is the star, let it shine — a metallic vinyl monogram in the center, a thin satin ribbon around the rim, or a cluster of tiny paper flowers on top is all it needs. Cut the lid in a contrasting or foil cardstock to make the scallops pop.
File Formats & Compatibility
This box downloads in SVG and DXF. The SVG goes to Cricut and Silhouette Designer Edition; the DXF works in the free Silhouette Studio and in laser cutters such as Glowforge. The scalloped edge has a lot of small curves, so a sharp blade and the SVG’s clean vector path matter here — and as always, the score lines sit on their own layer so the round wall folds into a smooth cylinder.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the round wall hold its shape?
The template scores a series of fine vertical creases along the side strip so it curves into a clean circle, then glues to the scalloped base. Score those lines for the smoothest result.
Is the scalloped lid hard to cut?
Not at all — just use a fresh blade so the small scallop curves come out crisp. The SVG keeps the path clean at any size.
What should I fill it with?
It is sized for small, light contents: candy, jewelry, soap, potpourri, or a keepsake. It is a favorite for wedding favors and bridesmaid gifts.
Can I cut the lid in a different color?
Yes, and it looks great that way. Cut the base in one cardstock and the scalloped lid in a contrasting or foil stock for extra contrast.
