Frankenstein is a well-known character, and his distinctive green color, along with details such as screws and scars, make him very easy and fun to create in gift boxes.

Continuing with the Halloween theme, in this post I will make some boxes that are ideal for giving to children at Halloween parties, or for them to take with them on the traditional “Trick or Treat” Although this is not a tradition in my country, I think children have opportunistically taken it over to ask for their respective sweets and also to have fun with their often improvised costumes.

In this post, I will make my version of this Frankenstein box, using a recycled cardboard box... Welcome.

Utilicé una caja de cartón reciclada, era de una plancha de cabello que compramos y guardé, finalmente pude utilizarla. En caso de no tener una caja del tamaño que deseemos, podemos simplemente hacerla con cartón.

La corté para que tuviese una altura de 18cms, y forré en foami verde escarchado hasta los 14cms, dando la vuelta alrededor, utilizando silicón caliente. Es bueno dejar las uniones a los lados o detrás.

For the top part, I used black cardstock because I thought the combination of materials would be interesting. With a 7 cm strip, I made a triangle shape for what would be the part connecting Frankenstein's hair and face, and then I glued it with white school glue.

I used a round shape to make the circles for the eyes. I used adhesive tape, but you can use cold paint or anything else that gives you the desired shape. I cut out three sizes from white, black, and purple cardstock for the eyes.

I cut very thin strips from the black cardstock using a craft knife and a ruler, and used them to create the scar design on the top of the forehead. I attached it with white school glue.

I also cut out some shapes for the nose and mouth from black cardstock. Then I glued everything onto one side of the frosted green foam box.

Another detail that couldn't be overlooked are the screws on either side of Frankenstein's face. There are two of them, and I cut them out of silver frosted cardboard and glued them on with hot glue. I painted some dots on the black part of the eyes with white cold paint.

To make it more interesting, I think it would be nice to use light green crepe paper to put the sweets and treats that will be given to the children as gifts, or where they can put the sweets they are given.

I think this little Frankenstein box is really fun. We can give this character, who is so beloved by children, different expressions. I chose this one, but we could make him look scared, angry, with his mouth open, etc.

There are so many designs I would like to make for this Halloween season... And you... Can you think of any characters you would like to recreate in your Halloween crafts? I invite you to create your own. There are only a few days left before the end of this festive month and the official start of Christmas, so let's make the most of it.

Thanks for stopping by this post, and see you next time.
