Is it really almost Christmas?  I just can’t believe how fast time is going by.  I’m one to start Christmas shopping on December 26th for the next year, but it seems like this year I was a bit behind on my shopping list.  There were just a few people left, and I usually get them a gift certificate for a local restaurant, or something like that.  This year, I wanted something a bit more exciting than just a small box, or a card.

I saw something like this on Pinterest, that someone found a pizza storage box (didn’t even know those existed) at their local Dollar Store.  Well, I ran to mine and of course, there was nothing like it available.  Our mountain stores never have the products that people say are available online. Darn!! Well, back home to start looking online.  Found some on the website for shopping and placed my order.  Now, I’ll just have to wait a bit.

Low and behold, the mailman was here with the box within just a few days and I was able to get to work!  It was super simple and turned out pretty cute.  I hope you enjoy this craft idea.  If you end up making one, be sure and share a photo on my FB page, with what you come up with.  I’d love to see it!  I sure hope that you like the tutorial, and pray that you have a blessed day!

Please be sure to take the time to comment, and share this craft on your social media channels – thanks so much!!

Materials/Tools Used:

  • Pizza Plastic Storage Box
  • Candy
  • Gift Card
  • Stickers
  • Glue Dots/Tape
  • & Time!

Instructions for the Christmas Tree:

Head to the dollar store, and if you’re lucky, you’ll find some pizza storage boxes.  If you’re like me, and not lucky, go online and place an order.  Start by attaching the gift card or certificate to the front part of the “tree.”

Next, start filling your storage box with any type of candy that you think the person will like for their gift.

Check that it closes pretty tightly, to help the gift card not fall off.  You could add other objects, or just more candy – totally up to you.  When that’s done, you can start “decorating” your tree.  I just used some ornament stickers and a gold star for the top of the tree.  You could add pom-poms, garlands, or whatever you’d like.  Make it simple, or go crazy!!

You’re all set.  Now you can just set it under the tree, or give it to someone early, if you’d like.  Super simple to make and the storage container can continue to be used for years to come!!

I hope you like it!  Please take a minute to leave me a comment on what you would like to create, and maybe if you have any tips on how to do it different, or better!

Be sure to tweet, pin, share, etc. – thanks!!

This is such a genius festive idea! I didn’t even know pizza-shaped plastic containers existed.

What a cute idea! I like how festive it is an the idea of filling it with candy as well. A fun craft that the kids can make on their own. Thanks for sharing!

That’s a very cute way of providing a gift. It shows that you put a lot of thought into preparing it, which is important. And those Andes mints are making me hungry!

I’m all for recycling whenever I can. I love your idea of your idea of repurposing a pizza storage container and turning it into a Christmas Tree box of candy. How clever!
