Halloween Treat Boxes

These hands are ready to get creative! Make small Halloween treat boxes with your kids and a few supplies from Walmart. Fill them with candy for friends, teachers, classmates, or neighbors!

Made by: Amanda Tibbitts (and her girls)
Time: a little more than 30 minutes
Level: Beginner
Size: 3” x 4” x 1” Box

Here's what you need:

• Glue Dots® Permanent GlueTape™
• Glue Dots® Pop-Up Dots™
• Die cut box, tag and witch hat element
• Curling Ribbon
• KinderStampO Vintage Halloween stamp set
• Baby wipes/stamp cleaner
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink in black soot
• Green Crinkle Shred
• Kit-Kats or other treats
• Distress Ink applicator
• Craft Mat
• Scissors
• Bone Folder

Here's what you do:

Have each child bend the die cut box back and forth and use the bone folder to really crease the edges. Once the edges have been folded, use the Distress Ink applicator and distress the edges.

Using two  Pop-Up Dots, glue the witch hat to the box before assembling the box. Tip: I keep my Pop Up Dots in one of the Dekstop Dispensers to keep it from unravelling. The curved surface easily allows us to press embellishments onto the adhesive and peel it away. 

Using Permanent GlueTape, run some tape along the edges and flaps to glue the box together. Make sure the edges line up and the box sits flat.

Using the Distress Ink, stamp the sentiment from the KinderStampO Vintage Halloween stamp set that says “Sweet Treats for You” on the tag die cut. Once stamped, use the Distress Ink applicator to distress the edges of the tag.

With the curling ribbon, make a loop and slide it into the hole of the tag and the box and tie it off. Use the scissors to curl the ribbon.

Put a small amount of the green crinkle shred in the bottom of the box. Add 6 Kit Kats to the box and now, your treat is ready to go!

Now you have a cute little treat to give someone special for Halloween. My girls are going to give them to their teachers!

Happy Halloween!
