Eleven Ways to Use a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box

I must be half cat or still a child, because I love the box that Paper Pumpkin comes in almost more than the contents (just kidding.) But I am definitely in love with the Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes!

These little treasures measure 5 7/8” x 3 ¾” x 1” and are just right for holding Note Cards & Envelopes or treats. And edible treats are perfect because the boxes are food safe. Decorate the Mini Paper Pumpkin Box to match the occasion and the recipient.
