Triangular Treat Box

Hi Friends, welcome!.  I found a new style of treat box to share with you that I've had so much fun making.  It's this triangular box -



The outside section is a wrap-around belly band that slides off to reveal this -


It's fun to see everyone's reaction when they pop this open!  Holds one Lindor truffle perfectly.

Here's what you need to make this box:

6" x 6" piece of Designer Paper
2" x 7-1/2" piece of coordinating cardstock
1-7/8" x 4" piece of Designer Paper for the banner

Starting with the 6" x 6" piece of Designer Paper, score the full length of the paper at the 2" mark on all 4 sides.  I used the 2019-2021 In-Color designer series paper pack for this step.

With a stylus (I used the stylus tip on my Take Your Pick tool) and a ruler, draw the diagonal lines on each of the 4 corner sections as shown.

Next, use the stylus and ruler to draw the diagonal lines in the top & bottom center section, as shown.  Measure 3" from either corner to find the center of the square, then draw a line going to each of the 2 bottom corners.  A pad of paper (like a notebook) makes a good surface to do this on, as it has just enough give to make a good impression but not enough to tear the cardstock.

Using long-bladed scissors, trim off each of the four corners as shown in the grayed out section on the template.


Your designer paper should look like this.  Now you're ready to fold & burnish on all the scorelines.


Squeeze the folds together to form the triangle shape and fold the 2" x 7-1/2" strip of cardstock around, pinching it at the corners.  Burnish the creases on the belly band with a bone folder.  Wrap it around the box and secure the ends together with liquid glue.

Score the 4" long piece of designer paper in the center at 2".  Flag both ends using the Triple Banner Punch.  Attach it on top of the belly band with liquid glue.


This is the largest snowflake from the Seasonal Layers Dies.  I think the Ice Stampin' Glitter looks just like sugar!  A drop of liquid glue keeps it from flaking off.


Stamp this sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas on white cardstock & use a 1-1/8" punch or die to cut it out.  Attach the sentiment and the snowflake with liquid glue.
