This Witch’s Hat Triangle Treat Box for Halloween is one I learned to make a long time ago and think it is SO easy to make!  You can vary the size and certainly make it for any occasion! And all it takes is half a sheet of card stock!

This is a difficult project to photograph, but here you can see it from the side to see the dimension. Holes are punched in the top and I threaded the Pear Pizzazz Cotton Ribbon through them after putting some candy treats inside.  I also made a Halloween tag tied on with the cotton ribbon by just sponging on some colors of ink on to the tag and stamping “Happy Halloween” with Basic Black Archival Ink.  The stamp is from the And Many More Stamp Set. This is a great stamp set, you can never have too many greetings because we always want just the perfect wording for our cards and projects. I suggest buying the wood-mount in stamp sets like this one with smaller stamps and one that you will use a lot because being mounted .already on the wood, they are quicker and easier to use.

I made the basic triangle box out of Basic Black Card Stock and then traced the top shape onto the back of a piece of Black Glimmer Paper. I glued this on to the top of the box and added a band of Gold Glimmer Paper.  Underneath the gold band, I cut another piece of Black Glimmer Paper to fit into the bottom space except I made it longer by about half an inch or so than the bottom of the hat. Then I trimmed it to make it look like the brim of the witch’s hat. I also punched out some Gold Glimmer stars with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack star punch.

To make the triangle box, cut a piece of card stock in half longways, 4 1/4″ x 11. Score in the middle at 5 1/2″. Then put a small mark at the center of each end, which for this size would be 2 1/8″.  Use the Stampin’ Trimmer to score from this center mark to the center score line at an angle. Do this on both ends on both sides. Fold everything on the score lines, and you will see how it all fits together.  Then punch holes in the top edges for the ribbon.  Be sure to add your treat before tying up the box!

Try this project!  These are really fun to make!  And I love projects and ideas that can be used for not just one occasion or theme. This Witch’s Hat Triangle Treat Box for Halloween is just one way to use this triangle box idea!
