Little Halloween Box
Today's video is on how to make the Frankenstein box or a Kit Kat Holder. The only size difference is the hair measurements (the hair on the Kit Kat holder is 2 1/2, versus 2 3/4 on the box).
I made the Dracula, Mummy, Frankenstein and three other boxes. The box measurements are the same, I just decorated it differently.
Supply list to make the Frankenstein Box:
- Old Olive Cardstock 2 pieces 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and score at 1 3/8 on two sides & bottom
- Black Marker
- Hair is a Grass die found at our local scrapbook store (measures 2 3/4 x 1 3/8)
- White Eyes - 3/4 Circle
- Black Eyes - 1/2 Circle
- Old Olive Eyelids - 3/4 Circle (cut in half)
- Old Olive Nose - 1/2 Circle (cut in half)
- Stampin' Dimensionals
- Black ink
- Sponge
- Adhesive
- Template for mouth
Notes for Kit Kat Holder
- Hair will measure 2 1/2 x 1 3/8
- 10 1/2" Black Grosgrain ribbon needed for handle
- Modern Label Punch to punch for the candy bar
Here's two more pictures of the other boxes.....

Adorable boxes, Angie! You always come up with unique ideas!
I keep meaning to ask you ... what type of "tool" are you using in the videos that allows you to pick up the smallest punched out pieces (small circles etc.)? It's not anything I've seen in the SU! product line. I'm not sure if the pointy, pen-like tip is sticky or not, but it's the perfect tool for picking up any smaller pieces (eyes; nose ...) so you can easily adhere them to your project.
Thanks for sharing another fun idea!

Angie,
Love your video's. Your projects are so adorable. I especially love the way you talk to yourself when you are making your projects. I do the same thing and was on the verge of thinking I was going crazy.

I like the option of having a bigger box for 'non candy' items for halloween treats for school. Thanks for sharing!

Angie,
How did you make the "hair line" for the vampire? I really would like to make this for my son's class because he will be a vampire this halloween.
Thanks-
