I remember as a kid going trick or treating in my neighborhood with my brothers. We lived in a large housing development so we could wrangle up lots of candy in a very short time. Every year, however, we made a point to go to one particular house. This house gave out FULL SIZE HERSHEY BARS and that was an amazing treat for any trick or treater. Today I'm going to share a quick and easy HERSHEY BAR TREAT BOX.
I will be using some of my favorite products from the JUNE-DEC MINI CATALOG. The DSP is from the GINGHAM COTTAGE PAPER STACK and comes with 48 sheets and colors that can be used for many seasons and holidays to come.
This adorable SCARY CUTE STAMP SET has so many great images and sentiments for HALLOWEEN.
To create this treat box, cut a piece of GORGEOUS GRAPE CARD STOCK at 6-1/2in by 5-5/8in. On the LONG SIDE score at 3/8in and 6-1/8in. On the SHORT SIDE, score at 3/8in, 2-5/8in, 3in and 5-1/4in. The template below shows how the box looks after creasing the score lines and cutting away the excess card stock.
Before assembling the box, adhere a piece of the DSP measuring 5-5/8in by 2-1/8in to the top flap. Notch the front edge of the box using the 1in CIRCLE PUNCH. Place TOMBOW on all the tabs and put the box together.
For the embellishments on the box, cut out a rectangle measuring 2-3/8in by 1in from the STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES. Stamp using GORGEOUS GRAPE INK, the trick or treaters image (stamp off first before stamping on the rectangle). Then stamp your sentiment on top using BLACK MEMENTO INK. Adhere it to the bottom right hand corner using DIMENSIONALS.
Add a ribbon if you like. I used a piece of CALYPSO CORAL SEAM BINDING but the BLACK & WHITE GINGHAM RIBBON is another great choice.
The video below shows how the box comes together.
