Materials You’ll Need

*this blog contains affiliate links, read my full disclosure here.

Before we jump into Cricut Design Space (or Silhouette Studio), make sure you have the following:

• 65 lb or 80 lb cardstock (for structure)
• Glue (I recommend Bearly Art glue or Art Glitter Glue)
• Cutting machine like Cricut Maker, Explore Air, or Silhouette Cameo – you can make this on a smaller machine like a Joy or a Silhouette Portrait but the box will end up being on the smaller side!
• Access to a mobile device or computer to open the SVG
• Free SVG download from the Community Vault (see below!)

This gift box template was designed with party favors in mind, so even if it’s your first time working with paper crafts, the process is simple and beginner-friendly.

Uploading the SVG File to Cricut Design Space

Once you’ve downloaded the SVG file, open up Cricut Design Space and upload the cut file. The file comes grouped, so be sure to hit “Ungroup” in the Layers Panel to prepare for editing.

The largest part of your baseball gift box template is the long rectangle that forms the box sides. Set the width to 10 inches. This creates a box roughly 3 inches in diameter and about 2.5 inches tall—perfect for holding small candies, toys, or custom packages for baseball fans of all ages.

Tip: You can scale the design up to 11.5 inches wide on the biggest piece to fit standard 12×12 paper, just make sure to resize the entire design at once so everything stays proportional.

Score Lines and Assembly Prep

Before you click “Make It,” you’ll need to adjust your score lines. Two parts of the cut file are set as basic cut lines by default. Select those and change them to score line in your toolbar, then attach the score lines back to their base layers using the Layers Panel.

If you’re using a Silhouette Cameo, be sure to load the file into Designer Edition or higher. Once imported, assign score settings as needed using Silhouette Studio’s line tool and group functionality.

Cutting Tips for Sturdy Box Sides

Cardstock choice makes a big difference. I recommend using 65 lb or 80 lb cardstock for this craft. If you’re aiming for a sturdier result (especially for sports fans who might be handling the box a lot), you can cut the box sides twice and glue them together before assembling. This adds durability and gives the finished piece a professional touch.

You can also experiment with different color cardstock—classic white with red threads is iconic, but team colors or neutral kraft cardstock make great alternatives for custom packages and gift-giving.

How to Assemble Your Baseball Box

Start with the base (the smaller circle and bigger side panel): Fold along the score lines and apply glue to the tab to form a cylinder.

Glue the bottom circle: Add adhesive to each flap and the inner edge of the circle. Press together until secure.

Repeat for the lid: The lid follows the exact same steps. Just note that the top circle is slightly larger to fit snugly.

Add the baseball stitching: Attach the curved “thread” shapes to the lid using glue. If you prefer, you can use red vinyl instead of paper for a crisp look.

Decorating Ideas for Baseball Fans

Once assembled, your baseball gift box template is ready for decorating! While the design itself already looks adorable, here are a few extra touches:

• Add a team logo sticker to the lid
• Use gold foil or shimmer cardstock.
• Tuck in a small note with the name of the baseball player or recipient
• Personalize each box with player numbers or event dates using a cutting machine

These little boxes are a fun, hands-on craft for sports fans of all ages, and they make great take-home gifts from parties or team celebrations.
