I often like to put out a dish of candy, after dinner mints, etc. when I am having guests over. Trouble is, I don’t have a candy dish. Seems they are always getting broken (can’t seem to keep anything made of glass around here).

So, here’s a little something for when you just need a little bowl to put some candy in.

Here’s what you need:

Card Stock
scissors
mini brads (or glue will due)

Here’s what you do:

  • Cut your cardstock to any size square that can be divided by 3.
  • Score fold lines so that your paper has 9 squares.
  • Cut center folds on opposite sides, only to center box edge. (See pic)
  • Round the corners (if you choose)
  • Fold up the rounded sides to meet in front of the middle squares.
  • Finish with a mini brad, or just glue.

There you go…easy as taking candy…well, you know the rest. :)
