This box is the same as the airplane favor I used on the “Love is in the Air” table.  There I filled it with pretzels for an inexpensive thank you gift. This time I decided to give it an Irish flare for St. Patty’s Day and stuffed it full of golden Rolos.

Step 2: Cut. Cut the box along the score lines following the designations on the template. It may be necessary to use a straight edge and craft knife to make clean cuts on some of the inner lines.

Insert bag into box and staple the top closed to seal. The staple helps to keep the top of the box even as you decorate and tie the top.

Step 5: Decorate. Decorate the bag as you wish! Use the hole punch to create spaces for ribbon or twine to loop the top together.
