As the holidays approach, I always make sure to have some cute, inexpensive gifts ready to go for neighbors, co-workers, and unexpected visitors. With the hustle and bustle of December, it’s great to have something prepared so you’re not scrambling last minute!
This year, I’m all about Book Treat Boxes! They’re easy to assemble, customizable, and perfect for a variety of holiday treats. You can use any holiday-themed designer series paper, which means you can match your style or add a personal touch. Plus, decorating the front is a lot of fun – you can keep it classic, go vintage, or make it whimsical!
Here’s How to Create Your Own Book Treat Boxes:
Materials & Dimensions
- Top piece (cover): This serves as the “book cover.”
- Two strips: One for the side of the book and one as the tab to close it.
- Solid cardstock: Used to create the “pages” inside the book.
For a coordinated look, I used two different holiday designs that complement each other, along with a matching solid cardstock to tie it all together.
Check out this video where I show how to assemble the book, layer the cardstock, and adhere everything together. Watching the steps makes it super easy to follow along!
Why You’ll Love These Treat Boxes:
Each package comes with 10 books, so you’ll have plenty for those spontaneous gift-giving moments. They’re quick to put together, and once done, you’ll have charming little gifts on hand for anything that comes up this season.
