We wanted to make something special for you to put your treats into. What's more appropriate than a Christmas ornament, filled with Christmas treats. Use your favorite double-sided Christmas paper. Embellishments them with whatever you have on hand an you've got something special to put your treats into. Since the ornament is round and wouldn't stand upright on their own we designed a easy-to-make box to put them into. We were able to fit an entire bag of Hershey Kisses into a ornament so you know you could fit several treats inside.
Our "You've been jingled" printables can be used whether you drop off treats, knock and run or simply ring the doorbell and give the treats to your favorite people.
There are two printable sheets, a fun instruction sheet with a poem that you include with the treat and one for the recipient to put on their door or in their window.

Candy Corns are synonymous with Halloween so what better thing to put on the front of a treat box. "Spooky Treats" can be anything thing that will fit inside. Loose candies such as candy corns, M&M's or mini or snack size candy will all it inside. Put as many or as few as you like in the 4" x 6" bags. Place them beside plates on a festive Halloween table or use as party favors. Whoever you give them to is gong to love them!
The candy corns have a 3-D look with the yellow and the orange pieces popping of the page with a foam dot. Add the black and white strip across the bottom and you're done!
Easy to assemble, all you do is glue and adhere foam dots!
We filled this bag with the candy corn M&M's. They are pretty sweet!
We found the new Cookies and Screen M&M's at Target. They are the perfect color for a Halloween treat and yummy! So Festive!
Love the colors of these white candy corn M&M's
All kind of treats will fit inside this treat box. What candy will you be giving out this Halloween?
We've designed several new ways to give treats out this Halloween. The first one we're sharing here is our Potion Bottle Treat Box. (More in our blog in a couple of days) If you're looking for something unique to give out this Halloween, we've got just what you need…...Perfect for the kids, your co-workers or your employees. They also make great party favors or a special treat for your trick or treaters, classroom treats or You've Been Booed neighbor gifts. Fill them with your favorite treats, even cookies.
Our new design for potion bottles make the front of this treat box. The premium orange cardstock treat box holds sweet treats in a cellophane bag tied with an orange ribbon. Whether you fill them with loose candy such as candy corns, M&M's etc or the snack size or mini size candy that are available every Halloween, they are sure to be a hit with the recipients!
We had so much fun designing this treat box. It's definitely one of a kind. The "Eat if you dare" tag just finishes it off and makes it even more fun. So simple to assemble. You just need glue and scissors, everything else is supplied.
The potion bottles are our own design with added Halloween stickers. We assembled both potion bottles so all you do is adhere then to the box with a foam dot. The treat box measures 3" wide.
These treat bags would also be great to hand out as prizes or favors at your Bunco parties too!!
The skull and bat are popped off the potion bottle using a foam dot. Gives it a 3D look.
While looking over my Valentine kits and printables I decided I wanted to redesign this cute heart box. I know, but I just couldn't help myself. We changed the shape of the top heart, added a glitter arrow, a cellophane bag and a cute bow with a glitter heart……I like this design much better……how about you? It's just a fun way to give a Valentine treat to someone special or lots of special people. It elevates the treat that you put inside. How about the kid's teachers?
Here's a side view so you can get a better idea of what the box looks like. It measures 3.5" across the widest part of the heart and 4" tall. The perfect size for the snack size candy bars, Hershey Kisses, Hershey Nuggets and cookies. The conversation hearts will fit nicely inside too.
You can also put any kind of loose candy in it and not worry about them spilling out since it is inside the clear cellophane bag. Makes it easier for the kids to take to school for the Teacher.
Choose from 3 different messages. You order one message for your heart boxes or a variety of messages. It's totally up to you. What message do you need?
We know most of you need to put a name on your so we included a tag just for that reason.
Here we are showing you everything that is included in the kit. Cellophane bag, bow, glitter heart, glitter arrow, heart box, twine, top heart and a message tag. The crinkle paper isn't included in the kit but you can purchase bags of crinkle paper at The Dollar Store for $1.

We wanted to show you a second idea for using our "No Tricks, Just Treats" tags---Just add them to the front of a sucker--how easy is that? The tags come in a 2" size and a 2.5" size. Wouldn't they be a great party favor, plus it doubles as a centerpiece.
We bought these lollipops at The Peppermint Placein American Fork, Utah.They have all kinds of suckers and stick candies and candy canes plus more. HERE's a YouTube Video that gives you a tour of the shop and takes you into the back where the candy is made. (their web site is www.kencraftcandy.com not The Peppermint Place)
The tutorial for making these rosettes can be FOUND HERE. They are very easy to make. Once you make one you will be on your way. Some people call them medallions too. It's a easy way to dress up the party favor.
We removed the clear bags that were around our suckers but you will want to leave them on if you are using them as a party treat.
We placed a piece of styrofoam inside this cute pumpkin tin and just put pushed the suckers down into it. You can buy the green styrofoam or a green floral foam brick at The Dollar Store. Then just add some crinkle paper in the color of your choice. You can also get crinkle paper at The Dollar Store.
Love how large these suckers are. Give one to a child and watch his eyes POP out of his head!
Here are just a few of the Halloween suckers that we purchased last year at The Peppermint Place. (I took them out of the clear bags to get a better photo, but they do come wrapped up) You should be able to pick up some of these same suckers and maybe some new designs this year. The Peppermint Place has been making candy in Utah since 1969. It's just a fun place to go-The kids will LOVE it! The Peppermint Place
HERE's the LINK for a Easy TUTORIAL for the paper Rosettes and more fun ways to use the tags for Halloween gifts. Don't Miss it!
This Valentine treat holder is modeled after British Christmas crackers No, it isn't full of crackers but with candy and treats for a Valentine's Day gift. Very easy to make and fun to give away. Make some for a class treat too.
The tutorial said to use paper toilet rolls (tube) but who has time to wait until you have the right amount of rolls saved up? I just measured the circumference of a toilet roll and cut cardstock to match, rolled it in a circle and glued it together. I would suggest using a very strong tape or even a glue gun to secure it together. (Toilet roll measured 5.5" around and 5" tall. I would cut your scrapbook paper a little wider (maybe 6" or 6 1/4") so you can easily glue it together.
I used two sheets of tissue paper, (you could use 1) cut 11" square and rolled it around the tube and taped it. Use ribbon or twine on each end, tied in a bow. Then add a piece of cardstock or wrapping paper on top measuring 4" x 6" Them embellish it however you want. We punched out small hearts and used our tiniest paper punch to punch a hole in each side and then threaded twine through to make a banner. You'll need to tie a one-sided bow on each end. We then put glue on each heart so it would stay on the roll as shown above.
The tag is one that we offered in our Cupid's Arrow/Pixie Stick freebie. Be sure to write "to and from" before you attach the tag to make it easier to write it.
This sweet treat container is very easy to open, just pull on the tissue paper. You could make a bunch of these in no time at all. Use stickers or other fun things to decorate it. Here is our inspiration for this project. There's a tutorial on the site too.
These pumpkin place cards are a little smaller than our pumpkin bags posted yesterday. You use the same Jack-o-Lantern paper punch from EZ Success but add a color behind the pumpkin face. The ribbon is gone and we've added the stem, tendril and name. See all the directions below. It's pretty simple. The two samples above are inked but you can skip that step if you choose to.
Any scrapbook paper can be used including lighter weight scrapbook paper with designs as shown above. A scoring board is a great help in this project. I got mine at JoAnn's on sale but you can use a 40% coupon and end up getting one for around $12.99. You'll definitely love having one.
You could use a 1 1/2" circle for the name circle instead of a scallop punch if you prefer
We chose a yellow paper for the background to make it look like the pumpkin is lighted from within, but any color will work.....Black, brown, green etc. Just use your imagination. Because after all, you know what you like!
This is the step where you ink the paper. We used the cheapest Q-tips we could find (dollar store) There isn't as much cotton on the end of the tip as the name brand and they work more effectively. You could use a stencil brush or a make-up applicator. Be sure to ink the inside edges of the eyes, nose and mouth. Slice the edges through the ink pad. Curl the stem by rolling it around a small crochet hook or knitting needle, something small in diameter.
Glue on the scalloped circle by matching it to the scallops on the paper. I used vinyl for my names but markers or pens will work too. Definitely use a contrasting color for the name circle. You could use all the same color or a different color for each one.
Use a glue stick or double-sided tape to put the box together. You're favorite treat is sure to fit inside the 3" bag. We purchased a package of 50 for $2.99 from JoAnn's.
Put the word "Thanks" on the scalloped circle and you've got a fun "Thanks for coming" gift for your family and friends.
These place cards will definitely look great on your Halloween table. If you include a 3" clear bag of candy inside the pumpkin it doubles as a party favor or a "thanks for coming" gift...and it already has their name on the package. You can use scrapbook paper that is lighter weight with a Halloween design too.
