If you need one more Christmas treat idea that is easy to make, try these Santa Treats.  These boxes are easy to make, much like the 2-4-6-8 box.  Then just wrap the “belt” around and put a belt buckle.  Fill with candy.  Done and cute!

To make this Santa Treat Box, cut a sheet of Real Red Cardstock in half, at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.  Score at 1 1/2″, 4″, 5 1/2″ and 8″ along the long side.  Turn and score at 1 1/2″ for the bottom flaps.  Then, like the 2-4-6-8 box, cut up on those flaps to the horizontal score line and cut off the tiny little piece.  Fold and crease all the lines and assemble the box.

The belt is a 3/4″ strip of Basic Black Cardstock.  I find it easiest to wrap a long strip around the box by hand, creasing at each corner and then cutting off the excess.  Make the strip meet on the front of the box because this will be covered by the belt buckle.

The belt buckle can be the retired punch that I used, the Curvy Label Punch, or just cut a square of Silver Glimmer Paper or Silver Foil.  The trick is to then just cut a small square of black to glue in the center of the buckle to make it look like the belt goes through the buckle.

I found this idea on Pinterest made by Julie Davison.

Then just put candy directly into the Santa box or put in a cello bag and put that inside.  Mine has various chocolate candies and after the photo, a candy cane, plus a little packet of tea for something healthy!

These are very easy to make and everyone will think you made something special!
