Halloween Pillow Treat Box

With this little Pillow Box made from a toilet paper roll you can give a Halloween treat which will make someone smile.  Simply cover roll with designer series paper. Fold over ends to close each end. Wrap ribbon around the box and tie a bow at the top end.
To make the pumpkin you will punch three extra large oval pieces out of pumpkin pie cardstock paper.  Glue two pieces of center of the middle large oval piece to make the pumpkin shape. Cut a small piece of mossy meadow cardstock for the pumpkin stem and glue to the top back of the pumpkin.
For the eyes and nose of the pumpkin, punch three triangles using the top of the tree punch out of basic black cardstock.  For the mouth use the large oval cut first a curve into the paper, then move the punch further in and punch again. You will then have a smile. Notch out thee little spots for the missing teeth. Glue all pieces on the pumpkin to complete his face.
Attached the pumpkin with three Stampin’ Up dimensionals on the center back to the box ribbon.
When ready just untie the bow and fill with your Halloween treats.
