I LOVE foiled chocolate eggs. With that in mind I was inspired to make some easy to craft miniature treat boxes in 3 fun patterns for my favorite springtime candy. Wrap these boxes with bakers’s twine, ribbon, or seal them with a piece of Washi tape and you have an adorable Easter treat!
Materials: Printable Mini Egg Carton Template, 8.5 x 11 white card stock (I used Epson Ultra Premium Matte Presentation Paper ), craft knife or scissors, bone folder, ruler, permanent glue stick or glue applicator, optional green card-stock to make a tuft of grass.
Step 1: Print out the downloadable template on 8.5 x 11 white cover stock or other presentation paper.
Step 2: Cut out the outside edge of the box template and center piece using a craft knife or scissors. Score and fold along the white lines indicated on the template. The circles can be tricky to cut but I find it’s easier to first cut the circle through the diameter and then do one round half at a time.
Step 3: Apply glue to the small tabs and assemble the box as shown. Place the center piece in the box and press down.
Step 4: Add your mini-foiled eggs and wrap with ribbon or baker’s twine.
