Echo Park "Happy Halloween" papers- Magic Stripes. Spider Web, Haunted House

1. Use a die cutting machine for the container, cutting one chipboard piece and one striped patterned paper piece then adhere the paper to the chipboard with Perma Tac Adhesive. Fold on the creased lines provided by the die cut then adhere container edges together.
2. Cut a 1 1/2" strip of orange dotted paper then adhere it to the bottom of the container.
3. Use the Glue Arts Perma Tac to run a line of adhesive along the bottom edge of the orange paper then sprinkle with green glitter, press the glitter into the adhesive with your finger, then shake of excess.
4. Apply the green border sticker along the top edge of the container.
5. Apply the round sticker to a small scrap of paper. Apply orange glitter to the chipboard circle frame then adhere it to the round sticker.
6. Cut two 3/4" x 12" strips of black spider web paper then make folds at 3/4" intervals to form pleats then adhere the pleated paper to the backside of the chipboard circle piece.
7. Adhere the completed chipboard piece to the front top right corner of the container using 3D Foam Blanks.

4. Turn over and bend each strip of paper and adhere with Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Square.
5. Using Glue Arts U-Cut-It foam, adhere Echo Park's "October 31st" sticker to the middle of flower.
Designer Tip: I love making practical projects! For this one, I thought I'd use these awesome Halloween papers from Echo Park to make a container for past Halloween pictures and memories. It will become our go to box to remember what we wore, who was there, what candy we gave out, what goodies we baked. I used an old tin I had lying around, and you could do the same! You can use any packaging that has a clear/see-through part, or you can use an old cigar box and cut out your own window and use clear acetate for the window. Simply cover your container with patterned paper using Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro Perma Tac or High Tac adhesive. Works like a charm!
