White Lace Bomboniere Packaging
Best used for: weddings, engagement parties, kitchen teas, and bridal showers.
This pearlescent cardboard bomboniere with a lacy border is a delicate and Elegant DIY Favours packaging project. With the help of only a small paper doily, our modern box bomboniere packaging is elevated with the power of detailing.
How to Create:
Assemble your bomboniere box. Your paper doily should measure approximately 135mm in diameter. Cut a semicircle out of your doily that measures 45mm at its tallest point. The outer curved edge of the doily needs to be the ‘arch’ in your semicircle. Repeat this process, as you will need two semicircles per bomboniere box. Using a gluestick, glue on one semicircle at a time, with the tallest point of the semicircle sitting at the centre of the bomboniere box’s panel. Next, wrap the edges onto the side panels of the box. Take care to glue down your doily securely. Repeat this process with your second doily semicircle on the opposite side.
With this DIY guide as a source of party favour inspiration and using our wide range of bomboniere boxes, jars, and bags as a convenient and cost-effective springboard for your DIY bomboniere packaging, we hope you and your guests enjoy the sentimental value of handmade bombonieres.
