Trendy Twine - Halloween Take-Out Treats

Hello Trendy Twine fans!  Today the whole TT DT is sharing creations using these adorable Kraft Mini Take-Out Boxes and Mini Wooden Scoops.  Be sure to stop by the Trendy Twine blog to see all of the amazing projects!  I created a jack-o-lantern out of mine.
I started by measuring the sides of the Kraft Mini Take-Out Box and cutting orange patterned paper slightly smaller than the sides.  I then added a jack-o-lantern face that I cut using a file from SVG Attic's Pumpkin Patch set.  The tag was created with a Green Gingham Tag-Its, Pink Midnight Trendy Page Dot, APB Happy Halloween stamp set and Lime Licorice Trendy Twine.
For the handle, I cut 6 strands of Lime Licorice TT and working with 2 strands held together, braided it.  I then used liquid starch on it to make it hold it's shape.  The curly q's of twine were made by saturating it in starch and wrapping it around a pen.  Once dry, it holds that cute shape!
Last, but definitely not least, I added a Mini Wooden Scoop to the front.  I wrapped some Lime Licorice Trendy Twine around the handle and then stamped a sentiment using the APB Happy Halloween set.  For that sentiment, I actually used my index finger instead of an acrylic block to cling the stamp to.  That allowed the stamp to curve with the spoon while stamping.

Here are the new release items from Annie's Paper Boutique:
