DIY Halloween Candy Boxes

It's the most wonderful time of the year (if you ask me): fall! Halloween is fast approaching so let's get to the Halloween crafting, shall we? I came across these great coffin-shaped wood boxes at Michael's a few weeks back and thought they'd make cool candy boxes. They came out so cute! Here's what you'll need to make your own:
  • wood coffin box (like these but they were about $2 at Michaels)
  • sand paper
  • craft paint in black and white
  • brushes
  • pencil
  • permanent marker (optional)
  • small piece of velvet
  • hot glue gun
  • candy bones

Lightly sand any rough edges off of the box. Paint on a white base coat and let dry. Lightly sketch out the design with a pencil. Dots and stripes are always an easy option. If you're looking for something a little more complex, try this bone and skull design! Rough in the black areas with the paint and then trace around the design with a permanent marker for smaller details. Don't forget to paint the edges!

Trace the box on the reverse side of the velvet with an additional 1/2" margin. Cut out following the lines and hot glue one long edge to the inside of the box. Fold a small pleat at the corner and glue the next side down.

Continue along all of the box edges. Gather the excess velvet at the last open edge of the box, turn under about 1/4" and glue.

Fill with candy bones.

These would be nice little gifts for coworkers or party favors. I had so much fun making them and the possibilities for decoration are really endless!

  1. Wow this looks amazing!! I love the skull and bones pattern! I'm not sure I'd be coordinated enough to paint this as well as you have here though. I agree - they'd make great gifts!

    1. Thanks for the kind comments, Amelia! The permanent marker was a great help with the skull pattern. It helped clean up the edges and add detail. If painting isn't your thing you can always decoupage Halloween paper to the top instead. :)

  8. You can be a lone wolf, play Agario on your own, develop and destroy alone. Or you can assemble a team, join a clan and start dictating your rules on the map. But remember: no one stays at the top for long here. Today you dominate, and tomorrow you are thrown off and torn apart.

  12. These DIY Halloween candy boxes are absolutely adorable! The coffin shape and velvet lining make them look so unique — such a fun idea for party favors or little gifts.
    With all the crafting and Halloween prep, I’ve been reminding myself to take small breaks too. Recently I tried HoneyRoom 동구출장마사지, and it was such a relaxing way to unwind after a long creative day. If anyone here loves cozy fall vibes and self-care moments, it’s definitely worth checking out.
    Thanks for the great inspiration — can’t wait to make a few of these boxes myself!

  13. Loved the point about planning activities that keep the night lighthearted and fun rather than overcomplicating it. Halloween nights out are really about shared moments and playful energy, and little interactive things can add to that vibe. We’ve done things like silly games or quick “compatibility” checks using a love tester, which actually gets everyone laughing and talking more.

  18. Great point about how understanding pure gold value helps people avoid overpaying, especially with daily price fluctuations. Having a clear calculation based on purity and weight really makes decisions more transparent. I usually double-check values using a simple gold calculator, which makes this process much easier and more reliable.
