With only a few days to go until Halloween, you’re scrambling to find a fun and creative way to hand out treats on the big night. Look no further – this post reveals easy and affordable DIY last-minute Halloween treat ideas that will be sure to delight your ghouls and goblins! Whether you have ten minutes or an hour to spare, you’ll find a crafty solution that’s perfect for your budget and schedule. So, get ready to get creative and put your own spin on a timeless Halloween tradition!

This first treat will hold 2 pre-packaged snack cakes like the ones shown in the picture above. Here are the measurements you’ll need to recreate it:

Bottom box: 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″, scored at 1-1/4″ on all sides

Top sleeve: 5″ x 91/2″, scored at 1-3/8″, 4-1/2″, 5-7/8″, and 9″

You’ll want to refer to the video for assembly instructions.

This next treat is what I call a matchbook treat holder. I’ve shared these many times over the years and for lots of different occasions. You’ll start with an 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece of cardstock. Score it at 3/4″, 4-1/2″, and 5″ along the 11″ side. Turn it and cut at 2-3/4″ intervals. One sheet of cardstock will make 4 treat holders. Layer on a piece of pattern paper measuring 2-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ and decorate as desired. You can see more examples here.

This final treat holder is one of the easiest! You start with a 6″ square of pattern paper, make a couple of quick folds, and add a little embellishment. These are so versatile and could be used for almost any occasion. For example, here is a video I did last year with some Christmas papers:
