We made favors like this in last week’s Facebook Live, and I promised to follow up with a video with some more examples. This one is the same size as the “Fable Friends” version from last week (click here to see previous version). These were sized to hold a flat Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg or Hershey’s Marshmallow Egg.
I used designer paper from the Share What You Love collection, and stamps from “Bloom by Bloom”. The designer paper measures 6″ x 7 1/2″. It is scored along the 7 1/2″ side at 2 1/2″, 3 1/2″, 6″ and 7″. It is scored along the 6″ side at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/2″ and 5 1/4″.

I also show how to make this 3/4″ thick version in the video. It is made from a 6″ square of Gingham Gala designer paper, scored on one side at 2″, 2 3/4″, 4 3/4″ and 5 1/2″. It is scored in the other direction at 1/2″, 1″, 5″, and 5 1/2″.
Finally, I show how to make this 1″ thick version in the video. It is also made from a 6″ square of Gingham Gala designer paper, scored on one side at 1 3/4″, 2 3/4″, 4 1/2″ and 5 1/2″. It is scored in the other direction at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/2″ and 5 1/4″.
As you can see, you can modify the size of this favor quite easily. The first favor is planned around the size of the contents. The next two examples are planned to use a 6″ square of designer paper. The point of the video is to show the method used to make this shape of favor. Once you know the method, you can plan different sizes.
