Halloween Milk Carton

To enter my cartridge giveaway please click here


I have been wanting to make a milk carton for a long time as a treat box.  I found a template online from SU! that helped me make this cute carton.  Thank goodness for my scoreboard, it would have been so difficult without it!

There is a die that you can roll through the big shot that makes a milk carton without any measuring.  I've used it before, and after all this work that went into this project, I now know what my next purchase is going to be:)  The only thing I like about this template is that it is much larger than the one that is made from the die. My carton measures about 5 inches tall after some adjustments.  I had to adjust the measurements because the one I made originally was way too big and it didn't look very cute. 

I really love how it turned out.  Here is my milk carton:


This owl came from SU! I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink.  The twine is from the Twinery.


This sentiment is from K. Andrew: Fall-O-Ween set. I like that this set can be customized to create your own sentiment.


Here is a side view.  Thank you for visiting!
