Halloween Treat Baskets

 When I bought the Sizzix Berry Basket die for Easter, I was planning to make bunny baskets but you know how time flies. LOL! Because it was a basic basket shape, I knew I would use it for other occasions....like Halloween!  This die takes a 12x12 cardstock (printed on two sides will make a more attractive basket).  I'm sure you have lots of Halloween card stock in your stash that will make great treat baskets.  The die cut is super easy to assemble and with the addition of ribbon and a sticker, you're good to go..... and give.
 Lots of candy fits in each basket so trick-o-treaters or friends will be thrilled to receive a Halloween basket of treats from you.  I plan to cello bag the basket of treats and tie it with a fancy twisty tie for presentation.  Of course you could include nailpolish, lip gloss, or other small gifts instead of (or with) the candy.
If you don't celebrate Halloween, this basket will make a good autumn (or Thanksgiving ) table decoration when filled with mini apples, pumpkins or even a cupcake!  Thank you for the time you spent reading my post today.  I hope you found it interesting and will return to read another post in the future. See you soon!

All of your Halloween projects are so cute!! I have none to share this year, it's just crept up on me too fast. I love dies!! They make everything look easy and fun. This one is going on my list of must haves now. Oh geez, I guess I have another idea for a Christmas party favor. Glad I stopped by to catch up and be inspired!
Thanks again!
