Here is how to make a Halloween Triangle Treat Box, one of my favorite treat boxes to make! I have been making these triangle boxes for years and find them so easy to make! Just take a rectangular piece of paper, score it in half, then score from the middle of each end to the outside edge of that center score line. Fold, punch holes in the ends for ribbon, and decorate.
Check out the photo below to see how it is scored and folded.
For this particular box, take a piece of cardstock or designer paper cut 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″. Score at 5 1/2″. On the ends of the paper, mark the center measurement lightly with a pencil. Score from this mark to the side of the center score line. See my imperfect drawing below for the general idea:
Just fold on all the score lines and use a hole punch to make holes in the ends for ribbon to tie or I suppose you could just adhere it shut after you put the candy or gift inside, maybe with Tear & Tape Adhesive. To tie mine together, I used the Halloween Night Baker’s Twine. The designer paper is the Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper. To decorate the box, I stamped the mummy image from Jar of Haunts Stamp Set. The greeting is from Spooky Fun. The greeting is punched out with the Classic Label Punch.
That’s it! Try making bigger and smaller sizes of this box, although I think this size is pretty good. Couldn’t be easier! You can use it for any occasion!
