Pretty but simple closing boxes for wedding favours?
Hi
A friend is getting married later this year and has asked me if I can find instructions for a pretty box that she can make to put a few sweets in for each guest at her wedding. It has to close (perhaps a lid will do), and has to be simple to make - as far as I know she hasn't done any origami before, and there will be quite a few to make.
I've had a look online, and there are many many boxes out there, but ones that are both simple to make and not completely plain seem quite hard to find, so I wondered if anyone had any suggestions please?
I hope this hasn't been asked before - I did search but couldn't find anything. Sorry if I missed it.
Thanks
Cat

I'm not totally sure about the simple part, it is simple to me. Check it out and pm me if you're interested.

I found another one. How about Eagle Sure's Box with lid:

Thanks for the suggestions! I said I'd get back to her in a few days, and I plan to offer her a selection to choose from if I can. To me those look lovely, but I don't really know what she wants beyond 'easy, pretty and closing', hence wanting a few different ones to show her. Hopefully one will be perfect!
I'll send you a pm Brimstone - I think that's a really nice box, thanks.
Very grateful for your help. Any more ideas please?

Well I love this modular cubic box:

Let us know what boxes end up in the wedding. Or even better, share us some pictures .

That's a nice one too, thank you Gerado I'll certainly let you know what she chooses. I'm not going to the wedding, but might be able to get a pic or two anyway, as I'd like to see the finished boxes too.
