Triangle Treat Box Tutorial

For a quick treat box and to use up my patterned paper stash, I created this Triangle Treat Box. They are so easy and fun to make. You may want to get the kids involved too. Hi, Margie here today and I am happy to share my process.

Triangle Treat Box Base

My base is a 3 x 6-inch strip of patterned paper. With the 6-inch side up, score at 3 inches. Fold in half and place the square folded side facing down. Mark at 1.5-inch. Keep the folded side down and place on a diagonal, score from the 1.5-inch mark to the lower left corner. Shift to the lower right corner and score from the 1.5-inch mark to the lower right corner. Spread out the paper and burnish the scored lines. You’ll see a Diamond shape with a center line.

Embellishing the Treat Box

Open and place flat down the box base. Determine the front of the box and start adding 3D Foam Circle Frames White and 3D Foam Stars.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Shapes

Foil the foam shapes by removing the top liner and with the foil color facing you, gently rub into the foam to transfer the color. For these treat boxes, I used the foils from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors.

This technique is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. It is one way to expand the use of your adhesives, from underneath layers to make custom embellishments. No special tools are needed and great for kids’ crafts!

Assemble the Triangle Treat Box

Flip to the back of the front section and apply Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. or E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser on each side. Take off one tape and use a bone folder to burnish the sides together. Add candy/treat. Remove the other tape liner and secure the sides. Done!
