Spooky Halloween Treat Box

October 5, 2015

Coffin Treat BoxI wouldn’t call myself fascinated with Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) but I’m certainly intrigued. When I came across these Mexican sugar skull inspired treat boxes in a Michaels craft store, I had to have them. I never thought that I would say that a skull is pretty, but I do love the color combination of Mexican sugar skull designs. I’m really excited about this coffin treat box. First of all, it’s just so easy and two, it involves candy! This really doesn’t even count as a DIY because all you do is assemble the box and poof – you’re done! I thought that the coffin shape was ingenious and it is the perfect size to hold candy. I was thinking that this could be a great favor for a Halloween party!
