Hi Stamping Friends!
It's almost Trick-or-Treat time! I've got a couple more Halloween treat holder ideas for those special ghosts and goblins!
Triangle boxes are always cute and very easy to make for last-minute treats! You can dress up the basic box shape into all kinds of Halloween characters and Fall styles, as you can see on an old blog post of mine: Halloween & Fall Triangle Boxes.
Create Your Own Triangle Box—You can find the basic Triangle Box Tutorial
at Splitcoast Stampers. Check it out, then play around with the sizes
and embellishments to fit whatever theme you're trying to achieve.
My Witch's Hat Measurements—I started with a half sheet of card stock, 4-1/4" x 11" folded in half. Mark the center point along the top and bottom, then simply add score lines from the center fold to the 2-1/8" center points of the edges for the basic shape.
Fold it closed then punch holes in the flaps and thread a ribbon through to tie it closed. Easy peasy!
I added a separate black layer on the front that's texture embossed with the Chevron Folder for a little more detail.
Hat Band—My witch hat triangle box is minimally decorated with 1" wide strip of Witches' Brew Designer Series Paper hat band with a Rich Razzleberry Curly Label Punch buckle on top. The buckle has a square of the same paper on top to look like it's woven through.
Hat Brim—I hand-trimmed a tapered brim from a 6-1/2" x 1-1/4" piece of Black card stock, and added a little more texture with the Needlepoint Border Folder.
It's all tied up with some Summer Starfruit Stitched Satin Ribbon. And, boy-oh-boy, it holds LOTS of little treats!
My second easy-to-make treat holder is a make & take I created at Ronda Wade's Creative Convention. Save those empty embellishment containers, then decorate them for all kinds of party favors!
Decorating The Top—The 2-1/2" Circle Punch makes the perfect size circle to cover the top. This one is in Pumpkin Pie and is embossed with the Houndstooth Folder and sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink.
We stamped the "eat if you dare" image from the Halloween Bash (wood) set in Cherry Cobbler onto Naturals Ivory paper, then die-cut it with the Labels Collection Framelits. It's layered on a black 1-3/4" Circle Punch, Old Olive hand-cut banner, and a loop of 1/8" Pumpkin Pie Taffeta Ribbon.
Then, just fill the container up with your favorite small candies! Sweet!
