halloween treat box

I'm sure you remember the super cute teacher appreciation gift Jennifer made back in April.
I decided to use the same idea and whip up a fun little treat for my kids' teachers for Halloween.
How adorable is this Halloween paper by My Mind's Eye?? (it's from the Blackbird Collection)
I just trimmed the papers down for the front of the box, rounded the corners, inked the edges and glued them down. Using a scrap piece of cardstock, I printed off the Happy Halloween (font found HERE) and inked those edges too.
Instead of filling the box with school supplies, I went for just chocolate. And to keep things all coordinated, I cut strips of patterned paper and glued them around the mini candy bars with glue dots. (i think a little strip of scotch tape would have worked better)
Now, hopefully I can stay away from this chocolate until next week when the boxes will be delivered. :)

Ohhhh! I wish I was your child's teacher!! I'm here in the Vegas area, maybe someday! :o) I don't need any more coffee cups! ha!
That is really, really adorable! Planning to steal the idea for a child's birthday gift someday and fill with little treasures.
Very, very, very cute!
Darling idea. The teacher must be so happy. I love the chocolate idea too, although it would be difficult to stay out of it....smile....Linda
GREAT idea! Thanks for sharing! Kerri
I love that you wrapped each candy bar with the coordinating paper--so cute!
Of course I remember that box! That might have been the day I became an eighteen25 blog stalker. I thought it was genius then, and it's still genius now. And I still need to make one. I'm thinking a christmas version. AHHHHH!! (that's the choir singing)
What a fab idea..only if i'd seen both idea's sooner..as my kids broke up for half term UK today...but im thinking like ellie g above..for a christmas version!!
And im sure the teachers will love them!
I love the papers you've used.
