Frankenstein has been spotted!

I was recently blog surfing and ran across a site called www.MyChicnScratch.com She had some cute projects on her site including some Halloween boxes. With her inspiration I came up with this super cute treat box. Each time I look at these boxes I find myself talking to them :-) LOL! Here they are!





I just love the size of these boxes. They fit Halloween candy perfect. I have now changed my mind on my Halloween handouts. It will now be these boxes! I have cut everything already, now I just need to put together about 100 more boxes!

  1. Using Whisper White, cut two 3/4" circles using the punch
  2. Using the Basic Black cut two 1/2" circles using the punch
  3. Attach the 1/2" circles to the 3/4 circles to make the eyes.
  4. Using Old Olive cut two 3/4 circles.
  5. Cut one of the Old Olive circles in half.
  6. Sponge all around both pieces.
  7. Using the last 3/4" punched circle, Cut 1/3 off the circle to make the nose.
  8. Sponge all around this piece.
  9. Take the 8 1/2 x 11" piece of Old Olive card stock and cut it in half. You will have two 5 1/2 pieces.
  10. Using the 5 1/2" piece of Old Olive cut it in half on the 8 1/2 side. This will leave you with two pieces that measure 5 1/2 x 4 1/4".

  12. Fold your score lines.
  13. Cut the flaps; use the photo above as your guide.
  14. Adhere the box together. Use the above photo as a guide. You can follow the adhesive as a guide as well.
  15. Using the Basic Black Stampin Write marker draw his mouth. It is a very wide "W".
  16. Attach Hair, eyes, eyelids. Using a dimensional attach the nose.
  17. Use the Crop-a-Dile to punch a hole in each side. Attach the ribbon. 
  18. Fill with candy or whatever treat you want
