Printable Fall Barn Treat Box
Celebrate the arrival of autumn with a fun craft project that is perfect for holding sweet treats and small gifts. These fall barn treat boxes can be downloaded for free!
Hello Crafty Friends! The first day of fall is just over a week away and to celebrate I’m sharing these cute fall barn treat boxes. Autumn is such a beautiful time of year and my family loves adventuring to apple orchards, pumpkin patches and farms. We love driving through the country and seeing the white and red barns popping out among the changing leaf colors.
This barn treat box features lots of reminders of the fall season with pumpkins, hay stacks, sunflowers and a barn quilt in autumn colors. I love taking one of my watercolor illustrations and turning it into a box that can be used for so many different things!
Fill these treat boxes with home baked goodies like cookies and candies or use them to hold small gifts. I recently used them to hold some of my favorite butterbeer cookies (the recipe is from FunMoneyMom and is so good!). We first made these butterscotch cookies to celebrate Harry Potter Day but love them so much we make them all year-round now!
I love creating treat boxes for different seasons, holidays and special occasions. Be sure to check out my other DIY treat boxes that include both printable boxes like these, but also boxes that can be made using a cutting machine.

Supplies Needed
- Printable treat box – Grab the free file by filling out the purple form at the end of this post.
- White cardstock – I printed my boxes on 110lb Index Paper. This 65lb White Cardstock is also a great option. Choose a paper around 65lbs – 80lbs.
- Paper trimmer and/or scissors
- Craft knife and self-healing cutting mat
- Scoring board
- 1/4″ Double-sided tape
How to Assemble the Boxes
Step One: Start by printing the treat boxes on white cardstock and cutting them out. I like to use my paper trimmer to cut the large straight edges of the pieces, then I use a small craft scissors to cut out the rest.
Use a craft knife to carefully cut out the white areas in the top and bottom of the box so the box can close at the top and bottom.
Step Two: Score the box and gently fold along the fold lines. I included a scoring guide with the printable box to help you know where to score. The score line at the very top of the box, underneath the handle, is folded the opposite way as the other fold lines.
Step Three: Connect the treat box pieces together using adhesive on the tabs. I like to use 1/4″ Scor-Tape which is a strong double-sided tape perfect for treat boxes. You can also use a tape runner or craft glue. If making multiple boxes I recommend making one and filling it with your treat or gift to test your adhesive before making the rest.
Step Four: Fold in the bottom of the box and close the handle. The box is complete!
The box can now be filled with sweets, treats or small gifts. You could also use it as a fall decoration in your home or to decorate a table.
I hope you enjoyed learning how to make this fun fall barn treat box! My Cozy Cabin Treat Box and Color-Your-Own Gingerbread House Treat Box use a similar template and are perfect for Christmas.
