Easy and inexpensive Halloween Candy Containers for a holiday party or for your neighborhood Trick-or-Treaters.
To make these Halloween Candy Containers, just select the free printable template for the pumpkin faces. Nine different pumpkin faces will print per page. Be sure to use orange printer paper, or orange construction paper cut to the correct size for your printer.
Making the Candy Cups
You will need the following supplies:
- Orange printer paper or construction paper
- Craft glue
- Scissors
- Pumpkin Face Template Printable PDF
For this example, I used two different sized containers – both of them were purchased from the Dollar Tree. The smaller clear containers are multipurpose Mini Cups (50/$1.00), very inexpensive for a large quantity. The containers with the white lids are 10 for $1.00. These are more sturdy and can be reused. If your dollar tree doesn’t carry these containers, it is possible to get them at Walmart or through Amazon.
- Simply select the Pumpkin Face Template PDF. Use your browsers print option, and print on orange printer paper. Print as many pages as you need for your Halloween Party or Classroom.
- Cut out each pumpkin face along the circle. Note: If you are using the multi-purpose Mini Cups cut inside the line for a smaller circle. Test the size of one before cutting them all out. Older children should be able to help you with this.
- Put a few dots of glue on the container lid and press one circle to each lid. Allow some time to completely dry.
- Fill the containers with candies or other small treats. Have Fun!
Such a fun idea! I love your containers! Thanks for sharing your project on the Monday Funday Party!
