One of the easiest things to make is this Triangle Treat Box For Halloween. Triangle Boxes are so easy and the size can be varied. It just involves a strip of cardstock scored a certain way and folded up. Decorate the outside according to the occasion, put your treat inside, punch some holes in the side and tie shut with ribbon. Easy peasy!
For this triangle box start with a strip of 4″ x 8″ cardstock, in this case, Granny Apple Green. It is scored in half, like a card, at 4″. Then on each end, put a pencil mark at the center point. Next, score on a diagonal from that center point on the end of the paper to the center score line on each side. Essentially you are making a point at each end. See the diagram below. Just angle the paper on your Stampin’ Trimmer so that both the center score line and the center point on the end are on the track on the Trimmer and then score.
To decorate the box, I sponged a little Granny Apple Green ink around the edges of the front of the box. I was going to use some cut-out image from the Toil & Trouble DSP, but changed my mind and punched out the black cat with the Cat Punch. I thought the cat could use a moon so I punched a circle of Crushed Curry Cardstock with the 1″ Circle Punch and even sponged it with some Crushed Curry ink.
The greeting is stamped from the wonderful Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set. I think this stamp set is a must-have. You can always find some sort of greeting you can use in this stamp set. It replaces Teeny Tiny Wishes, my previous favorite and highly used stamp set. I stamped it in Granny Apple Green Ink and punched out with the Classic Label Punch.
I thought the box still needed a little something, like some shiny little stars. I added some small Rhinestone Jewels to the front of the box or I could have used some sequins.
If you want another idea, here is a Halloween triangle box I made to look like a Witch’s Hat. It shows how the paper gets folded into the triangle if you need more information.
These Triangle Boxes can be made for Christmas gifts or birthdays or any other when you want to place a small gift or treat inside! Try it! So easy! It’s just a little over five weeks until Halloween! Oh my!! Make a Halloween Treat Box for Halloween and give to someone for a surprise!
