Today I finally had a chance to cut the finished version of this birdcage favor box. Due to the amount of the detail and the score lines, I did not make dxf or single layer versions of this box. This box only requires adhesive on one side. The top is closed with ribbon and the bottom doesn’t require glue. Fold in the double tabbed flap first, then the two flaps on each side of it, then finally slip the last flap (with the tab in the center) into the opening.
ETA: I’ve had some comments on this file because I always use solid score lines since 1) That’s what I prefer to use for my own projects, and 2) They leave the most options open for other people. However, you can’t use the same settings for the scoring layer as the rest of the cuts. If your program has a score setting you need to set that layer to score. I currently use eCAL and when you tell it to score it automatically changes blade pressure to just score the surface of the paper instead of cutting through, but you can do the same with other cutters. I used to manually change the blade depth and pressure for the scoring layer when I had a Cricut. Just hide the score layer when you cut the rest. If you don’t want to cut a solid score you can either convert the solid lines to dashes or hide/delete the score layer.
The download is a zip file with a layered svg file for use with SCAL2/SCAL3/eCAL.

Thanks for sharing Aventure
Very cool
I have today discovered your beautiful designs and have taken advantage of downloading two favor boxes. Thank you so very much for sharing, your work is amazing.
Thanks so much for the beautiful cut file. I can’t wait to try it!
I can not open the file. I download the zip file and then It will not be in a zip folder where I can open.
Hi Jennifer,
I just downloaded the file, and it downloaded correctly as a zip file. You need to unzip the file to use it. If you don’t have a program to do that, search online for one.
Heather
I did but it keeps downloading not as a zipfolder and its in my desktop as a clipart icon then it wants to open in photo gallery but its not supported So I downloaded a winzip program but it opens the file peg program and its all shaded gray
this is all new to me.
I can show you images my email is jniclickshots@gmail.com
would you be able to send this to me by email?
Thank you
Hi I have a silhouette cameo can you please tell me which file I need to download for this lovely birdcage box please
Hi Sue,
You need a cutting program that can use svg files with layers. Due to the amount of curves and the scoring layer I didn’t make a dxf version of this file, only the layered svg.
Heather
Thank you very much
Just stunning cant wait to try
Heather, thank You very much for sharing !! Your work is amazing. 🙂
Hi Can you tell me what size you cut the box please
Hi Dawn,
It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure that I set the size at just under 11 or 12 inches wide so that it would fit on my cardstock (I don’t remember if I used letter or 12×12).
Heather
Thank you Heather. I have only just received my cricut so am looking forward to trying this.

Heather….I cut this today and it’s not all one piece, but all in pieces. Each side, top, middle and bottom. I must have missed something somewhere? I’m cutting it with a cricut…any ideas why ?
Hi Laura,
I use solid score lines. You can’t use the same settings for the scoring layer as the rest of the cuts. If your program has a score setting you need to set that layer to score. If not then either convert the solid lines to dashes or hide/delete the score layer.

Thanks for the quick reply…that sounds all very new to me….but easy enough to follow. I didn’t realize there was some score lines in there….that must be it!!!! I’ll give it a go. Thank you thank you.

Hi Heather, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I found the layers…and can eliminate the scoring one to do separately. Apparently I have a scoring tip too!. Learn something new every day 🙂 I’ll give it a go tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
