Halloween Treat Tins with Laurel

Hi everyone Laurel here with some Halloween treat tins.  My girls are too old to go trick or treating so for the last couple of years I have given them a little gift for Halloween so that they don’t feel like they are missing out on anything !

 

This year I decided to decorate some tins that I have had in my stash for a couple of years and the Happy Haunting collection was just perfect.

Supplies: Happy Haunting: 12x12 papers, chipboard, brads 

I always give my oldest daughter a spider theme gift because she absolutely hates spiders, hehehe!  The web patterned paper was what I started with then I just added the web border punch and of course a die cut creepy spider. I usually give her a cute one, but this year I decided that she needed creepy!  The addition of the decorative brad and messy thread helps to add some texture and dimension to the tin.

My other daughter loves halloween so I can give her anything.  I went for a bat theme (for the record I hate bats they are so creepy).  I love the bat border sticker and the label.  Once again, I used my Cricut to die cut a bat and added a decorative brad for interest.

 

When I add tags to my projects I like the look of a couple of them hanging so I created a ‘to/from’ label from some old MME kraft paper then, I just adhered the black sentiment pennants to some cardstock, trimmed them and punched a hole to create a tag.

For the tops of the tins, I just adhered a circle of the pattern paper and topped them off with some of the chipboard elements.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I filled the tins with some Hershey’s chocolates and a Starbuck’s gift card – they love Starbucks as much as I do.
