nugget box ideas

One of the things we made at club was a nugget box. We decorated it for Halloween. We made Frankenstein. He was quick and easy and cute.
If you slide the middle out (see next picture) he holds three little Nugget Candies.

Here is what I used to make this particular box:
Paper: old olive, black, ww
ink: black journaler
accessories: snips, 1/2" & 1/4" punches, sticky strip



This is part of what it would look like inside. You could also wrap the nuggets with dsp or labels stamped with boo or a saying, etc.
That would look cute too. Even the stamp set that has the quote from Frankein Stein - "Friend, Good" would be cute stamped on it.







Also here is another idea - a mummy box. This Sahara sand paper and carmel ink to sponge the edges. then 1/4" and the double circle punch for eyes. This picture only shows the top layer, but it's made the same way. Isn't he cute. Both of these ideas were from another demo, they weren't mine.








You could also use other themes like this fall box, which uses the Juntos paper and the sizzix Leaves die cut. These are also cute with birthday themes, wedding themes, baby shower themes, even a little teacher gift - stamp ABC on the inside, etc. All kinds of ideas. How would you use it? You'll have to let me know. Post some ideas or pictures.
