You'll need
Directions
- Paint the outside of two foam cups with orange paint and let them dry completely.
- Fill one cup with your choice of Halloween treats, such as jelly beans, M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, Skittles, or mini candy bars.
- Apply glue around the rim of the filled cup, then press the second cup on top, rim to rim, to seal the treats inside. You can use scotch tape to hold them together while the glue dries.
- Cut two triangles (for eyes) and a mouth shape from black construction paper, then glue them onto the cup to create a jack-o'-lantern face.
- Bend brown and green pipe cleaners into stem and leaf shapes, then poke them through the top of the box to finish your Halloween treat box.
