Somehow we are nearly halfway through the month of November, which means (here in America at least) that Thanksgiving is just around the corner! So, today I’ve got a papercraft that is sure to delight guests at your upcoming celebration. Gather up some cardstock, and make some fun little turkey treat boxes with me.

I really do think that these little turkeys will delight guests of every age at your Thanksgiving dinner. They are whimsical, festive, and functional to boot!
These boxes are fairly simple to put together, but if you are struggling with the assembly process, be sure to check out my short assembly video on Instagram. The one odd thing in this design is the wedge piece. If you are looking at the file and wondering what the little, brown rectangle is for, just know that it is used as a wedge so that the tail can attach to the back of the box without leaning forward.
I use Adobe Illustrator for all of my designs, and a Cricut Maker to bring my creations to life. For tips on creating fun paper cuts like this one, see the FAQ section on my website. Also, be sure to check out the other die cut freebies available on my blog!
Enjoy putting these turkey treat boxes together. And don’t forget to share your adorable finished product with me on Instagram!

November 14, 2022 at 4:39 pm (1 year ago)Thanksgiving is an odd holiday, if you think about it. Nobody ever celebrates the glorious green bean, the special sweet potato casserole (with marshmallows), or even the graceful lump of stuffing–the item we really crave (with or without oysters), but we insist on celebrating (the overpriced) turkey. Turkeys, if you’ve ever met one, have great personality, nice manners, and are always polite. The one on the table has little in common with the wild ones, and turkey didn’t appear at an early Thanksgiving. Does anyone put roast venison, fresh flint (corn, not the rock), cabbage, or baked eel on the table these days? Poor turkey. What a way to go. Could it have something to do with the turkey’s good looks?

And you’re right—turkeys are really cool creatures with fun personalities! I’ve met a few, and they’ve always left a good impression on me. But I tend to have a high opinion of most animals…hence the vegetarian thing. 😊

I really like the Turkey Treat box that you designed.
I have one question about where the 1″x3.063 rectangle piece goes on the the Turkey Box.
Thanks for helping me out and especially for the design.
