Sanrio Halloween Treats

Oops! It happened again...I got distracted by all the adorable Sanrio characters dressed in their cute  Halloween costumes that I saw online that I had no choice but to go with Hello Kitty themed Halloween  treat holders for yet another year. Sorry... but not sorry!

 

I used the same small cooky box template I  created earlier this year for a friend get together but this time, I cut a square window in the front so I could put a shadowbox behind it. Make the Cut design program helped to create the cut file I used for my bewitching Hello Kitty on her broom. I used foam tape to adhere the paper pieced kitty onto a square tray with with depth of 0.25 inch, made to fit inside the window opening. A panel of acetate was adhered to cover the window, then an orange frame over that. Metal dies to cut the bats came from Spellbinders "Halloween Wreath Add Ons" and Karen Burniston "Haunted Tiny House Add Ons" sets.

Inside, the shadowbox took up 0.25 inches of the depth but happily I was still able to pack 8 to 10 small sugar cookies in each box. I managed to put together a dozen of these small boxes to share with family and friends.

I also had fun making these fun domed candy holders again this year. Last year I made domed candy holders of Hello Kitty peeking from a jack o lantern; this year I switched it to Pochacco. Also this year, instead of searching everywhere for Hershey kisses wrapped in orange foil, I cut and used sheets of orange foil sold to wrap candies to wrap over the silver foil on the chocolates.

I used the same template I had purchased last year, "Pumpkin Hello Kitty" from "by Yeni", but changed the head to Pochacco's this year. I also used Yeni's "Dracula Candy Holder" for the vampire costume, and switched Dracula's head to Hello Kitty's.

Access to the treats inside the dome is still on the bottom.

But this year I replaced the petal closure I've been using in the past to a simpler rectangular panel which easily slides up to reveal the candies inside. I love that this was so much quicker and easier to assemble. Had lots of fun making a dozen of each.

Last but not least, for my BTS lovin' friend (who doesn't care for Hello Kitty) I had just enough time to put together a candy dome and cooky box set just for her featuring her favorite "Chimmy" BT21 character. Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
