DIY Halloween Treat Box
You can easily make these Halloween treat bags using our printable template. Just print, glue, and fold to make your spooky houses in minutes!
Each box is around 13 cm tall x 5.5 cm wide x 5.5 cm deep and can fit a 9-10 cm tall object.
You can print the template on A4-sized cardstock. Or, select “Fit page” on your printer settings if printing on another paper size. Just remember that if you choose the second option, the size of the box may change slightly.
Once you have your template and all the materials mentioned below, you can follow the instructions to put up your box.
There is also a video tutorial right after, in case you prefer to watch me assemble a box.
Materials
To make these easy Halloween treat boxes, you will need scissors, glue, white cardstock, a printer, and the Haunted House Treat Box Template.

How To Make a Haunted House Treat Box
- Print the treat box template on white cardstock and cut it out.
- Fold the box along the 2 horizontal and 3 vertical lines shown in the picture below. Also, fold the white flaps.
- Fold along the lines on the roof. You can use a ruler to keep your lines straight.
- Apply glue to the white tabs on the right.
- Fold your cardstock and glue the side tab to make a box. Alternatively, you could use double-sided tape to stick the box together.
- It’s time to fold the bottom of your box. And guess what? You won’t need any glue to keep it together!
Start by folding in flap 1. Then, fold flaps 2 and 3 to the middle. Finally, fold flap 4 and insert them inside flap 1.
- To close the top of your box, push the sides of the roof (folded on step 3) until the two flaps with the chimney touch.
- To finish, fill your box with treats and close it using tape. You can also make a hole in the flaps and tie some ribbon through, or use mini pegs.
Your Haunted House Treat Boxes are ready!
