DIY Halloween Treat Box – Free Printables

I am all about the bugs this year! As long as they’re just vintage images I can decoupage for this DIY Halloween Treat Box and not REAL, I’m good! DIY Halloween Decor is the way to go!

DIY Halloween Treat Box

I found these completed boxes with my no-carve decoupaged Vintage Insect Pumpkins, both projects I created last year and just never got around to posting them. I obviously tucked them away for this year and I’m so glad I found them.

I was given a bulk supply of these Chinese takeout boxes a few years ago and they really do come in handy for so many things. They are great for my yearly Thanksgiving Leftover’s Station, Halloween Craft Ideas, and Holiday Neighbor Gifts.

I figured I’d be able to create all kinds of things with them and also share a free download of each image. 

I hadn’t planned on having a Bug and Beetle theme for Halloween. Heck, I hardly even decorate for Halloween, but here I am with the most adorable decorations.
