I hope you all are still preparing for Halloween, because today I have a creative treat box to share with you. It's so easy to create your own desktop Halloween treat box.
Once your co-workers see this box, they will be begging you to create one for them as well.
To get started, all you need is two sheets of 12X12 pattern paper, Score Board, bone folder and Helmar Super-Tac Glue.
Score your pattern paper to the desired dimensions and cut the sides to properly fold each corner.
Because I'll be adding weighted embellishments to the box lid; I secured the lid top with a heavier piece of card stock using Helmar Super-Tac Glue. This will help secure the weight attached to the lid as well as give a more secure grip when opening to retrieve candy.
Next, it's time to create the actual box by adhereing the sides together. I used an adhesive spactula to spread my adhesive to each fold.
After folding up each edge to create your box and box top, now it's time to embellish this spooky treat box.
To start building my embellishments, I used two wooden polaroid frames and adhered them together with Helmar Silicone Adhesive Sealant.
After painting and drying the frame, adhere it to the center of the lid.
I allowed this part of the project to set over night. When using the Silicone Adhesive it really doesn't take much to hold up the object you're adhering. These small viles of glitter was just enough to make sure my frame didn't fall over.
Continue to build on your embellishments using Helmar Super-Tac Glue.
Now it's time to build up some layers. A quick way to create your own embellishments is by using epheremera. Here you will see how I used Zapdots 3D double sided adhesive to build my layers and I added colored gauze using Helmar Super-Tac glue to create my own embellishment.
Continue to build layers and layers of embellishments and you will have a BOO-tiful treat box.
