lick of your apple flavored candy have now passed. Today, you want to impress
your beloved with a bit of creativity and flair. We offer you the handmade
candy box.
Why would you want to

it to save money or you may do it to express yourself. Handmaking the candy box
can be a quick, cheap and easy way of showing someone you care. When
considering the domicile for your sweet offerings you have several paths
available to you. You could be like everyone else and just buy a candy box from
online or from a store to place your candy in. Alternatively, you could roll up
your sleeves and add a little touch of yourself to your offering, something
that could be appreciated by the receiver.
Now that you have decided
to get crafty, the next question to answer is how do you create that special
candy box? If you spend some time searching the internet you will find free
templates that you can cut and fold into the shapes that interest you or
express how you feel. The most common material for construction is card stock,
which is both strong and flexible enough to support itself and your cache of
sweets, but not so strong as to make it a struggle for the intended to get to
the candy.
There are themes that can
be employed like cupcakes for birthdays, and lantern shapes for the light of
your eyes, holiday and animal themes for those who are either want something
more specific. Candy boxes that look like Chinese Take-Out boxes would be easy
to fold for your friends. A wedding shower box could be folded to look like the
gem of a ring. Shaping a box into a little hat could be the thing for that
costuming enthusiast that you are seeking the perfect little something for.
It does not matter what
occasion, the candy box that suits you can be found out there online waiting
for you to print and fold. The internet is filled with resources that you can
use to inspire your creative greatness. Things like monthly clubs for boxes on
a theme, for example, candies from around the globe or candy made with certain
ingredients are there to also be an inspiration for you to give sweets to
someone needing a pick me up or just to be reminded that something is thinking
of them.
The candy box that you
design yourself, find and add that little special something or even buy
yourself can be an extension of your desire to spread love and smiles. As you
