Halloween Treat Boxes Using Pretty Pillowbox Dies

Make Halloween special with Halloween treat boxes using Stampin’ Up!’s Pretty Pillowbox Dies. These treat boxes not only quick and easy, but they are fun to make! These Halloween treat boxes are perfect for miniature or snack size candy bars and treats. For mine, I used Hershey Nuggets and was able to fit three in each treat box.

I wanted to keep the Halloween treat boxes simple. After all, they are for children and their goal is simply to get to the candy inside the treat box! The treat boxes are made using the Perfectly Penciled and Celebrate Everything Designer Series Papers. But, you could even use the Paper Pumpkin or Black and White Cottage Gingham Designer Series Paper. I finished the treat boxes with either a tag or the witch’s hat from the Bewitching Bundle. As Bewitching is my only Halloween stamp set and does not have any sentiments, I chose to use the sentiment, “Boo,” from Cottage Wreaths Stamp Set. I am a huge proponent of “using what you have!” Add a little ribbon or twine and you are done!

Watch the video below to see how to make these fun Halloween Treat Boxes. Further down, you will find the measurements, written instructions and supply list. I would love to hear from you! Leave me a comment below and let me know what you think.
