Coffin treat boxes are a great way to celebrate Halloween. Make these cute acetate boxes for Halloween favors. They are perfect to give out at a Halloween party or even to hand out to trick-or-treaters on Halloween night. You are sure to love the final product and whoever you give them to will love them as well.
Coffin Treat Boxes
Want to give the gift of candy? Add it to some fun acetate favor boxes shaped like coffins. The scoring wheel is perfect for scoring acetate. I actually have had no success in scoring it any other way so I would highly recommend the wheel and the Maker over the stylus in any other machine. You can actually see a comparison of the scoring wheel versus stylus here. You can actually watch me make these coffin treat boxes as well as two other Cricut Halloween crafts in the video below.
Can’t watch the video or missed some of the steps? You can also follow along with the directions below.
Supplies needed:
- Cricut Maker
- Cricut Foil Acetate (metallic sampler)
- Scoring Wheel
- Cricut Kraft Board in black
- Cricut EasyPress 2 and mat (the 6×7 size works great here)
- Clear tape or tape runner
- Cricut Everyday Iron-on in white
- Candy
- Iron-on Protective Sheet or parchment paper
- Cut file for Cricut Design Space (click here to access)
How to Make Coffin Favor Boxes:
Start by cutting all of your materials. The foil acetate needs to be cut with the good side down so you can do your folds towards the scoring line. For this, you will follow the instructions on the screen for changing out the scoring wheel for the fine point blade. You will also want to be sure to mirror the cut on the iron-on and cut with the shiny side down.
Then weed away all excess from your iron-on including the eyes, nose, and mouth of your skeleton. Weeding tools make this a bit easier but are not required.
Add the iron-on to the black coffin shape. Preheat your cardstock, add the skeleton, and then press according to the recommended settings for the EasyPress. Be sure to protect your cardstock by using either the iron-on protective sheet or some parchment paper.
Then fold your acetate coffin boxes. Remove the protective film and fold along all score lines.
Then use clear tape or a tape runner to secure the box.
Add the black coffin to the top with more tape then fill it with candy! Halloween gift ideas have never been so easy!
These cute coffin treat boxes are perfect for any little one. I added candy corn to my version but feel free to add any small candy inside. Need a larger box? Just increase the size in Cricut Design Space before you cut.
Just lift the lid to enjoy a treat. So adorable and perfect to celebrate on Halloween night. I love easy crafts with my Cricut and this one definitely qualifies!
If you need something to gift some candy in this Halloween, consider making these cute acetate favor boxes. They are perfect for those Halloween parties as well.
The Cricut Maker makes Halloween gift ideas like these simple with the addition of the scoring wheel. Coffin treat boxes are really just the beginning. There are so many things you can make!

II have never been able to get the design that you use through Cricut Design Space. It keeps wanting me to install Design Space again through the open in Design Space but it never brings in the design. Maybe you could past in the url or something?
It works fine for me but I am on computer? Maybe that is the difference?
Anyway you could provide a pdf or svg? I don’t have a Cricut
Sorry I don’t have one for this particular design.
What a cute idea! Thank you for sharing!
I’m only seeing this article now, and I love it! Problem is this article was posted last year and the link to the cut file no longer works =( How else can I access the cut file?
I updated the post with a link to my Design Space profile, you can find all my projects there. Here is a link to that direct file – https://design.cricut.com/landing/project-detail/5babf2577b7608062966f633
