Here is the revised project for my March classes. It is almost exactly like Amanda's mini that a sent her in January for the TWS swap on the scrap beach.
I thought you might enjoy seeing it in different papers.
Isn't he adorable? Sorry for the angle, I was trying to show how his beak stands out.
Start with a piece of cardstock for your box that measures 8 1/2" x 4 1/4". Score portrait wise 1" in from each side.
Then turn your paper landscape wise and score in 3 1/2" from each side.
Crease all the score lines with your bone folder. 
Using scissors, cut the center side flaps as shown above. This should be four small cuts just into the score line.
Apply adhesive to TWO of the outside edges of two of the longer flaps on the same side, as shown above.
Here is the finished box, set aside for now.
Cut out two Top Note die shapes. For those who don't have this shape but have other ways to copy it, the finished size is 3 1/2" x 4 1/2".
Sponge you edges. I use chocolate chip ink.
Using the full heart punch from Stampin Up cut out a heart shape.
Then score down the center and diagonally as shown above.
Fold on the crease lines and then sponge the edges.
Apply adhesive to the two flaps, as shown above.
Fold flaps under and partially over each other and attach to center of Top Note , as shown.
The beak should be standing out from the die cut a bit.
Cut the yellow circle in half.
Sponge the edges.
Using a white gel pen, make a small line on the side of each black circle, as shown.
Attach some foam dimensionals to the back of each lid, I cut mine in half.
Attach the eyes to the die cut , just above the beak.
Add the lids above each eye, again the position can determine facial expression.
Using the same yellow cardstock and the five petal flower punch, also from Stampin Up, cut out a partial flower as shown.
Sponge the edges.
Apply adhesive to the bottom as shown.
Then attach to the top of the die cut as shown.
Punch out a scallop circle and cut in half.
Sponge the edges and add adhesive to the shapes as shown.
Attach to the die cut sides, as shown, for the wings. We are almost finished.
Add sticky strip to the box, as shown.
Attach your front and back to the box the same way.
Punch 1/16" holes in the side of the box, on both sides.
Wrap a 12-14" piece of wire around a pencil to coil it.
Insert wire into holes on the sides of the box and bend to keep inside the box. I use small pliers to bend it.
And your done! The tutorial is long but the actual process goes quite quick. I hope you enjoyed, watch for the bunny tutorial, coming soon!
Here are my Character boxes for Easter. Tutorials will follow shortly. They are in the works! I hope you enjoy them. Not sure if there will be a third. 
Every year I try to make homemade treat holders or Valentine's for my daughter;s class, sometimes I do and most of the time I don't, but this year I did. YAY! It helped that I ordered the heart treat cups as soon as I saw them. If I waited to order them I know it would have been too late.
I just made a very simple holder witha trap door so you can get the candy out without ruining the card.
