Candy Corn Gift Box DIY

Today’s TP Roll Gift Box project features a CANDY CORN Gift Box. I decorated them with some incredibly cute Kawaii faces, which I think immediately turns them into charming DIY Treat Boxes for Halloween or perhaps even Thanksgiving!

Candy Corn Gift Box DIY - incredibly cute TP Roll Treat Boxes for Halloween. Aren't they adorable? They're also quick and simple to create!! Happy Trick or Treating!
We originally created these sweet Candy Cane gift boxes in September 2015

Here’s a craft dating back many years! I’m a big fan of Toilet Paper Roll Crafts – for children and adults alike – because TP Rolls (or Kitchen Towel rolls, if you’d rather) are inexpensive (actually free!) and wonderfully versatile. They can also become sturdy little gift boxes… and you can shape them in many creative ways (be sure to explore our other TP Roll Gift Box ideas here!).

If you’re preparing for a Halloween Party (or making Thanksgiving Treat Boxes), why not create an assembly line so you can produce these Candy Corn Treat Boxes quickly and effortlessly?!

Step-by-step instructions for the TP Roll Candy Corn Gift Box DIY

  • Start by painting your TP Rolls. I used yellow, orange, and white, making the orange section twice the size of the yellow and white sections. Allow them to dry completely!

  • After it has dried, press one end of your candy corn box flat and staple it closed.
  • Next, fill your treat box with Halloween sweets or Thanksgiving surprises.

  • Hold your TP Roll by the stapled end. Turn it by 9 degrees, flatten the box once more, and fasten it with staples.
  • If you like, you can add some adorable Kawaii Faces (I used a mix of Sharpies and Posca pens, but simply use whatever supplies you have available)
