Halloween Trick or Treat Yo' Self Gift Idea

Surprise your friends with this Halloween Trick or Treat Yo' Self Gift Idea and Free Printable Gift Tag!

Why play tricks when you can share treats this Halloween? I love putting together gifts at Halloween time for people we're close to. They don't have to be big or fancy! This year is the 5th Annual Popcorn Box Party, and it's all about telling your favorite teachers, friends, and co-workers to "Treat Yo' Self" with a box full of spookily-awesome surprises! 

To make this gift, the first thing you'll need is a box to put your goodies in. It might not look the part right now, but this World Market Popcorn Box is a unique and fun way to package up some treats for a Halloween gift. All it needs is a little paint and a touch of sparkle!!

To completely cover up the red and white stripes, I added 2-3 of coats of gold spray paint to both sides of the box while it was still folded flat. Each coat of paint needs dry completely before you add another one. Because you can never have enough sparkle, I added some gold FloraCraft Spray Glitter once the spray paint had dried.

*If you choose to use spray paint, keep in mind that any food that is added to the box MUST be packaged. Using acrylic paints or paper to cover the box would make a better food-safe option.

Next, I cut a piece of black and white polka dot ribbon to fit the popcorn box vertically. Carefully burn the ends of the ribbon with a lighter so that the ribbon won't fray. You'll also need some Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue. It's one of my favorite clear craft glues that dries quickly and sticks perfectly every time.

Add a small amount of glue along the back of the ribbon. Fold one end of the ribbon over the top of the popcorn box and hold it in place. Center the ribbon down the popcorn box and stick the other end to the bottom of the box. Use a clothespin to hold the end of the ribbon in place while it dries.

Print out the Trick or Treat Yo' Self Gift Tag on cardstock and cut it out with a 2" circle punch or use some scissors.

To stick the tag onto the popcorn box, you'll need some glue or tape. I really love using Aleene’s Instant Tacky Double-Sided Adhesive Roller for projects like this because it holds strong and is easy to use (not sponsored - I really do love it!).

Center the tag on the front of the popcorn box over the ribbon.  Press it down well and hold in place until the tag adheres to the box.

Fill the box with some green shredded crinkle paper and add some goodies that are "Treat Yo' Self" worthy. I added some nail polish, Udderly Smooth hand cream, lip balm, some Halloween surprises from Oriental Trading, and more! Now the gift is ready to share with your favorite friends, teachers, or whoever might need a little treat in their lives!
