Tapered Treat Box Tutorial

Today’s project is a Tapered Treat Box!

This is a handmade tapered treat box craft project created by the Paper Pixie using Stampin' Up! supplies.

Here’s how the treat box opens:

What I love about this treat holder, is that there are multiple options for how to close it! For this version, I tucked the lid in. You can also close it with the tab on the outside using a Velcro dot or neodymium magnet. Here’s a photo including an alternative:

Another alternative is to use any of our Tag Topper punches as the box is 2″ wide – perfect for those punches!

This treat box measures 1-1/2″H x 2″W x 1-1/2″D, so it fits treats like a Rafaello, Lindor Truffle, Fererro Rocher (I think!), Hershey’s Nuggets, etc! I can’t wait to hear what you fit inside of it! Here’s how a Rafaello fits:

I LOVE this treat box! My inspiration comes from two German demonstrators: Andrea Schmidt and Sabine. I’ve “pixiefied” Sabine’s version.

Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:

And here’s the template for reference (not to scale):

  1. I made your little box, I copy a lot of your boxes. I’m always amazed that you can figure out how to make them! I don’t have the Playing with Patterns DSP yet so I used some left over Sale A Bration paper, the water lilies. They looked fabulous! I give them to the gal at the coffee stand, co-workers, my hairdresser, my massage therapist, friends, & family. When I feel like I have lots of time I will make one for each member of my book club, 15. They love them. Thanks again, & keep the boxes coming.
