Halloween is right around the corner! And it's the perfect time to get those creepy crafty brains working. We worked on making papercraft candy boxes this week. Meet Bert and Martha!

Trace the design onto black paper and cut it out.
Crease the edges and make markings on the sides for the legs and fangs. We left the 4th square blank and drew 3 circles on the sides for the legs. The fangs are on the edge of the 3rd and 5th side.
Paste the flap on the last side to the first side.
Fold the sides in to see if the edges fit in properly. If there are gaps, then cut the flaps slightly and slide them in the spaces.
Cut the upper halves of 6 straws and paint them black.
While the straws are drying, you can cut out 2 fangs and 2 eyes from white paper. We took markers and made outlines for more details. An easy trick for the eyes, is to draw half eyes and fold the bottom portion upwards, making a base that can be stuck.
Shorten the straws as needed and paste them on the markings made earlier. You can increase the length of the legs as you move backwards.
Dab a little glue on the upper edge of the fangs and paste them onto the flaps of the box. The eyes can be pasted at slight angles on top of the box.
