Halloween DIY: Easy Paper Skull Box

I love being organized.  Having everything in its place makes me so happy…which is why I love these super easy paper skull boxes.

They’re just the right size for a few truffles or treats.  They’re also great for holding onto small things like paperclips and the shriveled remains of my ex’s heart.

Simply download the template here…easy-paper-skull-box.

Open the file and print it out on thick card stock.  Be sure to check “Portrait” and “Size to fit.”

It should look like this when it’s all printed out (but bigger, of course):

Cut along the solid lines, fold along the dotted and use a few pieces of tape to secure it all together and voila!  Easy paper skull box!

I would suggest printing them on heavy card stock if you plan on using them to hold trinkets or treats.  Save the top flap for last as it will make stuffing your box easier.

And for a really bright idea (ahh, the puns…), print out a skull box on translucent vellum, cut off the bottom flap, assemble as directed, and place over an electric tea light (and please, make sure it’s electric.  I don’t need you burning your house down by using a real candle).

      I have another Skull box in my truffle post from earlier this week but so far those are my only two. More to come though.

    I love the electric tea light idea! 🙂 These are really cute boxes. I definitely want to try to make them at some point. Maybe pop some cake balls or truffles into them. Thanks for sharing!
