Halloween Treat Box - make 2 from one sheet of A4 cardstock

 Halloween fun! Make two treat boxes using one sheet of cardstock.

I love Halloween but in the UK it is no celebrated as much as elsewhere.  However we have Bonfire Night which is only a few days apart and as we tend to celebrate at the weekend due to work commitments both celebrations tend to link together.

This little treat box is an ideal little gift which can be filled with all sorts of sweets and goodies and would look good on a Halloween table for us adults that may be having a dinner party that weekend before the firework display.

These cute little boxes are 2 1/4" square with a hinged lid so will fit quite a few little treats.
