Ghost treat boxes

Just a bit of housekeeping before I begin. I have been making a few changes to the layout of the site so, if this page looks odd, right-click and select reload. (If you are still having problems please email me, or leave a comment, and I will get back to you).

I saw these ghost milk bottles and thought they were very cute and easy…however I couldn’t get hold of little milk bottles so made some milk cartons instead which I’m going to stuff with Halloween goodies for the kids (& my hubby!).

There are seven simple designs in all (including a few pac-man inspired ones) so you can print out your favourite one/s.

HOW-TO
- – – – – – – -

You will need:

// White paper or thin card
// Glue stick or double sided tape
// Scissors
// Something to score your paper with. I use a needle and metal ruler.
// Treats to fill your box with

STEP-BY-STEP
- – – – – – – -

1. Print out one of the following templates then cut, score and fold along all the lines (see the ‘cutting/scoring plan’ below for more details).
Design 1, Design 2, Design 3, Design 4, Design 5, Design 6, Design 7

2. Cut and score along all the lines (see the ‘cutting/scoring plan’ below for more details).

3. Fold into box shape and secure tabs with a gluestick or sticky tape.

4. Carefully press the sides of the carton in to create the tetra-pak style top.

5. Fill your boxes with treats, confetti and even a spooky joke!

6. Tape the top closed. I used washi tape but you can use a paper-clip, split pin or anything that comes to hand.
