Triangle Toil and Trouble Treat Box Tutorial
I love having trick-or-treaters come to my door for Halloween. But it's only been in recent years that we have lived in a location where any would come. So over the years I have found my own way to celebrate and share in giving treats. This treat box is the perfect size to give cookies or non-edibles, like fun socks. It is also very easy to make and looks festive with the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper (DSP). Full tutorial below!

Toil and Trouble Triangle Treat Box Tutorial
Measurements
Instructions For Box
1. Score DSP in half (6") and crease.
2. On 6" side at top and bottom, mark the half way point: 3" (I scored a little at the edge).
3. Using the 3" mark and the center fold, score a diagonal line on each side going from the 3" mark in #2 to the edge of the center fold. All the scores when done will create a diamond shape on the panel (see fold diagram).
4. Crease all folds. Using 1/8" Circle Punch, punch a hole at the top through both sides together. Do for both sides of the box. Run Basic Black Baker's Twine through the holes and tie a bow at the top.
Instructions For Tag
1. Stamp "Happy Halloween" on Whisper White Card Stock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Banner cut both ends.
2. Adhere DSP circle to the Basic Black circle. Punch a hole through both using the 1/8" Circle Punch and tie a bow out of Basic Black Baker's Twine through the hole.
3. Adhere Whisper White layer to both circles using Dimensionals. Adhere the assembled tag to the top of the box using Dimensionals.
