Triangle Treat Box - Homemade

Once again, this item is great as a party favor for a birthday, bridal shower, baby shower or for a holiday gathering. Very easy and quick to make and a wonderful project for the kids to assist with decorating. It took me about 5 minutes to put this together.

Take a 8 1/2" x 11" piece of card stock and on the 8 1/2" side score or fold at 3 1/2", 7" and 10 1/2". Turn to the 11" side and score at 3". Cut as shown below up to the score line and cut off the small end piece. Fold and glue the box together on the side.

Fold 2 of the flaps back and up and hold and take a pencil and trace the triangle onto the piece of card stock. Do this with all 3 sides. See below for example.

Cut along the triangle and cut on the inside of the triangle. Glue the flaps down.

Decorate and then put your treats in a bag and you are done. If you would like to have a top border, the paper size is 1" x 11". The font that I used is from the following website ~ freefontfun.com. You will find many cool fonts and it is very easy to download.


The elephant is from Bigfoot & Pickle Face clear rubber stamp set and I designed a hat for him to dress him up for a party. Go to our storefront if you would like to purchase the stamp set; don't forget to buy a child safe/washable ink stamp pad. Have fun and have a great weekend creating kids crafts!

Treat Holder using a piece of 6 x 6 Square paper

This treat holder is quick and easy to make. Great for the holidays or for a party as favors. Here is both the top view and the side view. Takes about 5 minutes to make. What a great little gift for the classroom or for a get together. Have your kids help, they will have fun folding the paper and decorating.
Fill with goodies, I used Hershey Kisses.

Take a piece of 6" x 6" card stock paper and score at 2" and 4" on both sides. Score on an angle in each of the 4 corners only. See picture for example.

Hole punch on each corner.

Decorate and thread through the holes a piece of ribbon or string to close your treat holder. Put a tag on the ribbon if you want to personalize it.

Here is the top view of the treat holder empty.

Fill with goodies.

Here is the gingerbread man treat holder. I used some leftover art from my daughter to decorate the 2 sides.

Here is the snowman treat holder.

Use rubber stamps to decorate before putting together. I used on the tag the fish from our Bigfoot & Pickle Face rubber stamp collection. Our childsafe/washable ink pad in black was used for this project.

Enjoy and have a happy and safe holiday season. Visit our website to find out more about us, or go to our store for your Holiday shopping.

Stamped Clear Treat Bags

Dress up these bags for a party, family gathering or holiday. You can use recycled bags from clear rubber stamps that you buy; and store your stamps in CD cases for easy access. The bags that I used are polypropylene header bags that seal on the bottom, they usually sell them in large quantities~so you could chip in with some friends if you wanted to keep some on hand. These bags come in all different sizes, depending on the type of "treats" you want to put inside them; you can also check your local craft store to see if they carry them or something similar.

Treats don't necessarily have to be candy, they can be items you pick up at the dollar store for party favors or a healthy snack. A combination of both is nice too.

Take your rubber stamp and stamp your image onto the clear bag using StazOn Jet Black or White. Use a type of ink that dries fast and is designed to stamp on plastic.

Measure the size of your bag and cut out a piece of card stock that is a bit longer. My bag measured 5" x 6" so I cut my card stock at 5" x 7-1/2". I scored at 1-1/2" along the 7-1/2" side. Fold down the clear header on the clear plastic bag and attach the card stock as shown. Staple on either side to hold it shut on the top.

Decorate your bag and fill with goodies. For thebag on the left, I cut a circle 5" round and then folded it in half over the top of the clear header bag.

Have fun with this project and include your kids as they will just love decorating and filling the bags. Great for Halloween treats, Fall Parties, Christmas goodies and birthday parties as it is that time of the year. From our Bigfoot & Pickle Face Creations clear rubber stamp collection I used the circus set stamps. I stamped the saying with our child safe/washable ink stamp pads in the color pink.

Happy stamping and come visit us at our website or storefront to purchase our products that are geared for kids crafts. All products are made in the U.S.A.

Lollipop~Sucker Holder

Every time we go to the bank my kids get lollipops, so I loved this wonderful idea I saw on The Frugal Crafter for lollipops [flat ones]. Time to give away all those lollipops that the kids have not eaten and have it in a cool pouch. This is a great idea for party favors or trick or treat [if you have a small neighborhood]. Easy peasy to make and the kids will love making and receiving them.


I did not have the machine that The Frugal Crafter had, so I designed my own template. This template is designed as a square card originally that you decorate on the square and then fold in the sides, but with a bit of a modification you will have a lollipop treat holder. I did 2 styles, a 2" and a 3". So the inside square measures either 2" or 3". The 2" template I was able to fit 4 on a page. 3" template will only fit one.

2" Template

3" Template
Print out the template and cut around the outside solid line.


Score 3 sides only and fold up and glue. It was easier for me to have the bottom fold on the outside, but you can have the bottom tucked in too.



Decorate with your favorite embellishments. I cut out a 2" x 2" square of a coordinating color and glued it on the front of the 2" size. Cut a 3" x 3" square for the front of the 3" size. I used the fish from our Bigfoot & Pickle Face Creations clear rubber stamp collection and stamped the image with our child safe/washable ink stamp pad. I colored and then cut the image out and adhere it to the card with some foam tape to give it a raised look. I decorated around the pouch with some colored pencils.

Use your imagination when it comes to decorating and definitely include your kids, as they will think this is a great way to dress up a lollipop. Never stop having fun, so continue to stamp your life away! Thanks for visiting us and stop at our store if you would like to purchase our products, they are made in the U.S.A.

Pull Treats or Candy Bar Holder

This is a great idea for parties or use as a reward for a great job done. These are also wonderful for teacher appreciation. Have your kids assist as they will have fun decorating, but beware as they may want to eat the treat. Think about making some for a Halloween party~what a great party favor. All the recipient of this wonder pull treat needs to do is pull up on the ribbon and the candy bar will rise!


Cut out a piece of 6" x 7" card stock, this will be the holder for the candy cover. If you want to wrap a "band" around the pouch then cut out another piece of paper or card stock in 2-1/2" x 6-1/2".


On the 6" x 7" card stock, score along the 6" side at 2-3/4" and at 5-1/2". If you are going to use a band around the pouch then score at 2-3/4" and at 5-1/2".


Apply double sided sticky tape to the base and then along the side with the flap and seal it closed. Wrap the band around the pouch and use sticky tape to close. All flaps should be tucked inside and not be seen.

Decorate your holder with additional embellishments, ribbons, rubber stamps and sayings. Punch a hole in the top part of your pouch. Cut a piece of ribbon anywhere from 18" to 30" [depending if you want to make a bow or just a knot ~ bows take more ribbon.

Thread the ribbon through both holes and line up the ribbon to be even size in length on both sides.


Push the candy bar down on top of the ribbon's center and you will see the ribbon shrink on the sides.


Push the candy bar all the way down into the pouch and tie the ribbon with a knot or bow. Pull up on the ribbon [no need to untie the ribbon] and the candy bar will rise.


This project did not take much time so have fun decorating. Whomever you make one of these for will be awed by the fabulous card and the yummy treat.

I used clear rubber stamps from our Bigfoot & Pickle Face Creations Collection, Farm Friends and Circus Act. Child safe/washable ink stamp pad in black was used to stamp the image. Let your imagination run wild and go crazy over this idea. Thanks for stopping by and never stop stamping.
