These triangle boxes are so fun and easy to make. I have made lots of them over the years for different holidays or occasions but I may not have ever made one for Easter like this Triangle Box Easter Bunny Treat. All you need is a piece of paper and then score it according to directions. You can vary the size of the paper depending on what size treat box you want. Put some candy or a small gift inside for a fun treat!

My Basic White cardstock is cut at 4″ x 8″. Use the diagram below to see how to score, but it is simple! At each end of the cardstock, put a light pencil mark at the halfway point which in this case would be 2″. Score the paper in half at 4″. Then in that awkward manner, with your Paper Trimmer, score from that 2″ middle point at one end down to the middle score line which will be on a diagonal. Do that on both sides of one end, then turn the paper and score at the other end in the same way.

Now fold and crease all the score lines. You will see how it will fold together to make the triangle box. Determine which side will be the front or top of your box that you will want to decorate and how the flaps will go so that the top view of the box will have the fold of the flaps showing and not the open side. Once you see how it folds together how you like, you can use any hole punch to punch holes in the sides near the top. You want the two holes on each side to align. This is how your paper should look creased and with holes punched.

To decorate my Easter Bunny treat box, I used punches that are retired now but you can use whatever you have. There is the Double Oval Punch or maybe you have retired punches and dies that you can use….or simply cut out by hand! For the ears, I punched a large oval for the white ear and then I found the 2021-23 In Color Shimmer Vellum that I have and have barely used! It’s on the Last-Chance List and even on sale! To attach the ears to the box, I simply scored a bottom portion of the ears and folded then adhered each to the box. You can use Multipurpose Liquid Glue but you will have to hold it in place for a few moments.

For the eyes, I punched 1/2″ circles with my old punch and colored in the black portion. I had originally drawn them right on the box but later I smeared the ink somehow so I covered that mess up with the punched eyes! “There are no mistakes in stamping!” I think it looks better this way! The nose is a little larger than I planned on but I used one of the hearts in the Sweet Hearts Dies. I had to have something a little large since I attached these whiskers. If you have been papercrafting for any length of time you probably have a heart die or punch somewhere in your stash or you can just cut one by hand. The mouth is just drawn on with the Black Stampin’ Blend marker.

After putting your treat or gift inside the box, you can tie it closed with either an inconspicuous piece of ribbon or do as I did and use a larger bow that matches my bunny colors that looks somewhat like a bow tied on the bunny’s head! My pink colors are the In Color Polished Pink in the paper and ribbon. The ribbon is the 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon. Such pretty ribbon in all the In Colors! Luckily these In Color ribbons are carrying over into the new Annual Catalog!

That’s it for making a triangle box! Here is another example in THIS POST. Just decide on the size of paper you want to use, score in half, score on the diagonal to each end from that scoreline, punch holes if you want to be able to tie it shut, and decorate as I did in this Triangle Box Easter Bunny Treat.
