Frankenstein Take Out Box

While take out boxes are used primarily for carrying restaurant food home, they are also perfect for crafts projects and as favor boxes for any party. Think of one of the most celebrated holidays in the U.S. – Halloween. There’s a simple and creative arts and crafts project that can be done with Chinese take out boxes. First you will need a green colored Chinese take out box or if you have a white one, just paint it pale green. Go into any crafts store and purchase the following supplies: black and white felt, black permanent marker, wiggly eyes, brads, glue, and scissors. Once you have all the materials, begin by cutting out the black felt in a zig zag shape and glue the felt on to the top portion of the box, making it look like Frankenstein’s hair. Then glue on the two wiggly eyes. Use the brad as Frankenstein’s nose and draw his features (mouth, scar, ears) using the permanent marker. You can also cut out little teeth with the white felt and glue it on to the drawn mouth. Fill the take out box with candy and other Halloween treats. Then hand them out to anyone special in your life or as a Halloween party favor.
