Printing the Box Parts
Begin by printing the Adobe Acrobat (pdf ) file for the Heart Shaped Box Parts. This file will print the parts for four boxes in 1:24 scale, four boxes in 1:12 scale and two boxes in 1:6 (fashion doll) scale which can also be made into favor boxes to hold candies, chocolates or small presents.
The favor boxes are approximately 1 ½ inches square by ¾ of an inch tall. The dollhouse boxes represent ten inch heart shaped boxes in each scale. All boxes can be made with separable lids and the colors and patterns can be changed to make red, gold, silver, white or pink boxes.
Favor Box Size Only- The boxes are also available as pdf files for favor boxes only (each page makes five)
