Today’s project is a Tapered Treat Box!
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:

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.

Hi Julie. Love this box! What die did you use on one of the original samples? The one with “For You” on the front? Thanks for all you share.
Hi Barbara! I used the Stitched Nested Labels dies for the sample with the outside flap.
