Easy Treat Box Idea

September 29, 2024

The holidays are fast approaching. Would you like an easy treat box idea? Does your child needs something special to give to their teachers or friends? Do you want to give a token of appreciation to your hairdresser, mailman, nurse, bank teller, barista, manager, coworker, etc.? I have a very inexpensive idea that may help. Stampin’ Up! sells Book Treat Boxes that you can decorate very quickly, then add some candy or a gift card, seal it up and it’s ready to give! Easy peasy! The treat boxes are only a dollar a piece! You get ten to a pack for just $10.

The white treat boxes are food safe and you can either stamp on them or add cardstock and designer series paper to decorate. Another option is to wrap some ribbon around it. The possibilities are unlimited. The folded box size is: 3″ x 4″ x 1″.

Below are instructions to make a Gingerbread House Treat Box

Treat Box Supplies

Humble Home Bundle (stamp set and punch)
Book Treat Box
Real Red Ink
Real Red Cardstock
Garden Green Cardstock
White Cardstock
Take A Bow Designer Series Paper
2-3/8″ Circle Punch
Regal Foiled Adhesive Backed Dots
Stampin’ Seal
Stampin’ Dimensionals

Measurements

Garden Green Cardstock: 3-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
Real Red Cardstock: 3″ x 3″ for punching
Basic White Cardstock: 3″ x 2″ for punching
DSP: 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″

Treat Box Instructions

First layer DSP to Garden Green Cardstock with Seal and then adhere to front of assembled box.
Next stamp the house with Real Red ink on Basic White Cardstock and punch it out with the house punch.
Punch out large circle from Real Red Cardstock
Adhere house to circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Then adhere the circle to the box closure arm with Seal.
Add 3 of the green gems to house
Lastly, fill box with treats or a gift card and remove the backing on the flap to seal the box closed.

Here is another sample that I made with some retired designer series paper. You don’t have to decorate the closure flap if you want to make it even easier. Give it a try!
