Some of you may recall my Halloween treat cups from last year (see them here). I loved making them, giving them out and the reception they got:
I hand a little girl a treat cup. She looks at it, then at me.
"Uhm...I'm not sure my parents will let me drink coffee."
I laughed and said, "That's ok, there are treats inside!"
Now this year, I have to say, I don't *love* my treat boxes as much as I did last year's treat cups. But I do think they are cute.
I did use the same stamp set as last year, CTMH's Frightfully Fun (and I will use it well into the future because I think it's stinking cute!) I also used the same paper from a Recollections Halloween paper chain kit, because I the kit came with so much of it. And it was the exact right size for the bands on the pillow boxes. The pillow boxes were from Dollarama. They came 8 in a package for $1.25! I picked them up over the summer, and good thing too - I haven't seen them since!!
I used SU!'s Cajun Craze and CTMH's Archival Black inks and an assortment of Shin Han markers. I used Recollections baker's twine on some of the treat boxes, and also some silver glitter paper, CTMH White Daisy and Black card stock. I used the SU! Decorative Label punch to punch out the tags.
I made 32 of these treat boxes. If we get more Trick-or-Treaters than that, they will just get some Cheetos :) We didn't have many more than that last year so I think I'm good to go!
Oh - in case anyone is wondering what is in the treat boxes. It is an assortment of: gummies (eyeballs or cats), bubblegum eyeballs, Halloween-themed notebooks, rings and erasers, plastic spiders, spiders with webs, annnnd fruit-flavoured Tootsie Rolls (except for the vanilla ones. I kept those for myself).
Happy Halloween! :)
