To bring these Treasure Treat Boxes to life, we recommend using a cutting machine for precision — though steady hands and patience will also do the trick! We’ve designed this project to be super versatile so you can use it for different occasions. For example, our download includes an alternate design without the heart detail, perfect for pirate-themed parties or playful treasure hunts.

A treasure chest always brings to mind swashbuckling adventure and the lure of hidden riches. Our Cardstock Treasure Treat Boxes capture this same sense of wonder on a smaller, more personal scale. Fill them with candies, love notes, or small trinkets to create a heartfelt gift or unique party favor. 

Here's a tip: when crafting your treat boxes be sure to score your folds before assembling. We used 12x12 cardstock for our box, and a curling tool to ensure sharp, clean edges. For an added touch, consider embellishing your box with metallic markers or tiny adhesive gems — a nod to the glittering treasures it’s meant to hold.

Once your Cardstock Treasure Treat Box is complete, use them as Valentine’s Day gifts, party decorations, or even as part of a scavenger hunt. Display them on a dessert table or tuck them into a gift basket for an extra-special touch. When you’ve got it figured out, don’t forget to tag us on Instagram with the hashtag #MadeWithLia and join our crafters’ community to inspire others.
