If you’re handing out candy this year, one way to make your candy really stand out is a Halloween treat box. Here, we’ll talk about some cool hallo2ween treat box ideas, and how you can benefit from these treat boxes.
First, I do suggest if you’re really not into trying to make a box, get one of those printable treat boxes. You can get ones that either has bright words on it, some bats, or even some polka dots that you can stuff little candies inside.
There are free PDFs online, and once you get it, all you need to do is cut out along the lines that are mentioned, and then fold against there in order to create lines near the crease, and you can then use glue or tape for it together. The glue flaps on the inside blank sides will be great for putting candy in, and then you can close the flap to fully seal this. Top every single one of these with a paper stem in order to easily open this in a Halloween and very festive style.
Another super easy one is actually to create a more DIY type of printable treat box, and this one allows for you to get a bit creative. Personally, I love using this one for candy corn. What you want to do first and foremost is to get the materials. Get some paper mache boxes, craft paint, paint brushes, and also any other decorative aspects you want to put on this, obviously Halloween themed. What you want to do, is begin by painting the outsides of the boxes. You want to start off with the outside before you do the inside, and then let these dry. Personally, using Halloween colors such as orange, white and black is great. With the orange, you can make pumpkins and with the white, you can make little skulls on it.
Once that’s dry, take your black paint, and make a skull face out of this. If you want to, you can even add some cool green zombie stitches.
For the pumpkin, put some black lines all the way down the sides of this, just like a pumpkin. It’s pretty easy to do, and once it’s dried you can move to the next step.
Make sure you paint the inside if you’re using some little paper inserts to hold the candies. Otherwise, don’t paint it because you don’t’ want paint on your treats, right? Getting some Halloween liners, and a little bit of confetti, and then proceeding to put it in there will allow for a better, more rewarding design.
Finally, you can decorate the outside. Stickers, but also using a little piece of green pipe cleaner in order to affix the stem on there, will help with this.
Halloween boxes are a fun idea, and they’re perfect for delivering candies, so you’ll be able to do that, and so much more with these.
