This may look slightly fancy, but it is really an easy treat box to make! This one was especially easy since it was white cardstock and I just stamped ghosts and spiders on it!

You can vary the size once you know how to make this box, but these are the measurements of the sample I made. I used a piece of Basic White Cardstock that is 4″ x 8″. Actually, there is no reason you couldn’t make it 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ so you don’t have to cut off a 1/2″ strip! But you’ll see after you make it.

Score the strip of paper in the center at 4″. Then on each end, make a pencil mark in the center at 2″. This part may seem tricky, but it really is not. Place the paper on your Paper Trimmer so you can score at a diagonal from that 2″ center mark down to the center scoreline.   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. See the diagram below.

Crease all the score lines and see how your box will go together. Determine which area will be the top of the box and then you can stamp on it or decorate. I used the Cutest Halloween Stamp Set to stamp several ghosts and spiders. The greeting is stamped on a strip of Basic White and then I just flagged the ends with my scissors and adhered it with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

With whatever hole punch you have (or a sharp object!) punch holes in the pointy end so that you can insert ribbon and tie it shut. Be sure to put your candy or gift inside first! I used the Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon.

You can make these triangle boxes smaller or larger. Here is one I made three years ago! I think they are fun to make because they are really so easy and so versatile. You can make them for any occasion!

Even if you don’t have much time, you can make these pretty easily and quickly! Try one so you will have it in your repertoire!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
