I came across a cute box in Stampinstel's gallery yesterday and it inspired me. I didn't have access to the template that she had, so I created my own. I worked and tweaked the pattern until I came up with the above design.
The square window piece is tucked into the box and lifts out so that the recipient can access the candy corn. The lid tucks into a slot just above the gray tafetta bow. I think these would be really cute with other candy, especially those spooky eyeballs you can buy at this time of year. It would also make a cute favor box for other occassions. I hope that you like them.

Thanks for the template!! Loved this. One suggestion - I added 1/2" flaps on the sides where you punch out the square so when you fold over and tuck in, the candy can't get out. You can still punch out the square with 1/2" added on.

Yes, these I must make! I can't wait for all the little goblins in my boys' rooms at school to open these little treats! Thanks so much for sharing your template with us all!
