DIY Milk Carton Easter Treat Boxes

I worked on the design in my silhouette studio and prepared the file for you to download if you would like to make one of these too.

Firstly, snag your files and decide how you are going to proceed. If you have a cutting machine, then go ahead and cut your template.

I used decorated cardstock for the milk carton and gold cardstock for the egg and bunny decoration.

If you decide to cut by hand then you will find a PDF for you to print. Make sure you don’t fit to the page nor modify the size in any way so your decoration will fit perfectly. As I mentioned before, you can decide whether or not to cut out the shapes from the milk carton and add decorations as you like!

Also, if you printed your template, then using your ruler and scissors, score along all the dashed lines.

Once you have the template ready, remove the pieces from the cutting mat and start folding the paper milk carton following the score lines.

For this part of the process, I recommend checking out the video (second 00:27).

Simulate the assembling of the box to make sure you got everything right.

Then open it again and lay it down inside facing up.

Place your acetate sheet on top of the egg and bunny cutouts. Make some marks to cut rectangles that would cover the designs.

Cut 4 acetate rectangles.

Then using hot glue or your favorite glue (I don’t recommend white glue) secure the acetate in place covering completely the eggs and bunnies.

Then secure it by gluing the tab.

Fold in the bottom: short shape first, then side flaps, then secure the bottom with glue.

Apply glue to the back of each egg and bunny frame and place it to match the milk carton cutouts.

Secured the milk carton with a pressure paper clip to create the shape.

Next, decorate each side (if desired) with cute paper flowers.

Mines were made with paper cutting different color cardstock and gluing 2 different shades.

Decorating the box around the cutouts with colorful paper flowers

I placed single flowers as the base to simulate volume and then placed a double one on top. Add rhinestones if desired.

Repeat on each side if desired.

Then, glue the ribbon bow to one side of the clothespin.

Fill your cute milk carton treat box with any kind of yummy treats you want. I used kinder easter eggs, some other smaller chocolate eggs, and chocolate bunnies. But you can use anything you like.

Lastly, secure your milk carton with your cute bow clothespin.

You are done!
