Halloween Cake Boxes Instructions
The printable Halloween cake boxes are a Halloween DIY as cute as they are practical for handing out treats and candy. If you cut out the “Happy Halloween” panel on the front, you can create a window cake box.
Materials
- heavy cardstock or photo paper
- printable Halloween cake boxes (download below)
- cellophane (optional)
- tape
- greaseproof paper or tissue paper
- ribbon
Tools
- craft scissors
- glue stick or double-sided tape
- metal ruler (optional)
- bone folder (optional)
- single hole punch
Instructions
- Print the box. Print the cake box on DIN A4 or US letter size photo paper or card stock. Optionally, print the decorative pattern on the back of the box.
- Cut out. Cut out the two front and back following the grey lines. Punch two holes into each top flap where the grey circles mark the spot.
- Make a window. To make a see-through window, place the front on a cutting mat and remove the middle with a blade knife. Using tape, attach a piece of cellophane on the back. This step is optional.
- Score and fold. Score and fold the box using the bone folder and metal ruler or do it freehand.
- Apply glue. Apply glue to all the flaps that say “Glue” or use double-sided tape.
- Assemble the cake box. Glue the front and back together. Pop the box open and flip in the left and right side flap. Fold the u-shaped flap in and then tuck gently the locking flap into the center where the other flaps meet. Give the box a tab on the bottom from the inside to nudge everything into place.
- Package cakes and cupcakes. To package cakes or cupcakes, fold a piece of greaseproof or parchment paper into thirds. Put a cake square in the middle and use the excess paper to place the cake in the box. Close the box using a piece of ribbon.
