Milk Carton Treat Box for Christmas

 Do you like to give treats for the holidays?

This milk carton treat box is a cute option.

I love giving treats and this milk carton treat box is super cute. You can decorate it up for all kinds of holidays too. For Christmas, they can be filled with candies or small lotions and other small items. You can also tuck in a gift card.

Here's some other boxes I made. I love making them for all the different people I give small gifts to. 

You can keep it really simple and let the designer series paper (patterned paper) be the focal point or you can layer it up with images and die cuts. Have fun with it. Get out all your favorite papers and stamps and create some beautiful treat boxes. 

Here are some milk carton treat boxes I've made in the past for Halloween and Christmas. I hope this inspires you to give it a try.

Details:

1. Pick a good cardstock for your box/carton. I used Stampin' Up! cardstock. Base is 8 1/2" x 10 1/2". You can adjust this size to your need.
2. Score 10 ½” side at 3”, 5”, 8”, & 10”
3. Score 8 ½” side at ½”, 2” & 6 ½”. ½” & 2” score lines become the top milk carton. 6 ½” score line becomes the bottom.
4. Layer for front (2 options): 1: 5 ¾” x 2 ¾”- covers the top part of the box. 2: 4 ¼” x 2 ¾”- fits below the score line that makes the milk carton top.
5. Side Layers: 4 ¼” x 1 ¾” (2)
6. Back layer: 4 ¼” x 2 ¾” (optional to make it same as front)
7. See Video for cutting instructions or diagram on the downloadable pdf above.
8. Add strong adhesive to the shaded flaps.
9. Adhere layers before building treat box.
10. Adhere bottom last. Fold back flap in. Then fold side flaps in. Last fold front flap.
11. Punch holds for ribbon (optional). Fill with treats and tie ribbon around top. 

**Covering the sides and back are optional.  

Add in layers and die cuts to decorate the front of your box any way you like or keep it simple and let the designer series paper (patterns) do all the work.
