In this tutorial, the creator shows you how to make the box the Frankie is mounted on (I used a die cut to make the box).
The Mummy and Dracula boxes are basically made the same way. Below are the materials lists and instructions.
Basic materials for all:
Card Stock:
* 12" x 6"; 3" x 2-1/8" (Old Olive for Frankie; Black for Dracula; White for Mummy)
Accessories:
* Big Shot Die Cutting Machine
* Fancy Favor XL Die
* Jumbo Brads (2)
* Crop-a-Dile
* Sticky Strip
Non-Stampin' Up! Materials:
* Craft or Beading Wire (20 or 22 gauge)
* Light Weight Wire Cutters
* Pencil
Directions for Box:
1. Assemble box using Sticky Strip on tab and bottom flap to hold it together; use Sticky Strip to adhere 3" x 2-1/8" matching card stock to inside bottom of box (this will help stabilize and strengthen the box).
2. Attach Jumbo Brad about 1/2" below top on each side of box.
3. Cut a piece of wire about 32" long; wrap around pencil, leaving about 1-1/2" at each end for wrapping. Thread ends of wire through brads and twist back around handle several times to secure. "Scrunch" wire to make the coils look uneven and kind of creepy.
4. Attach two pieces of Sticky Strip to both front and back of bag. The backing will be removed later to adhere faces and backs to bags.

Follow instructions on tutorial above to make Frankie's face, with the following exceptions:
1. Use Perfect Plum cardstock for face; black for back of box.
2. Use 1-3/8" Circle Punch to cut out flat side of hair to create the areas where the eyes are placed.
3. Fangs are made from two points of the Star Punch. Drag points across Real Red Stampin' Pad before attaching to face.
Mummy:
Card Stock:
* Whisper White Card Stock (12" x 6"; 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" (2); 3" x 2-1/8")

* Big Shot Die Cutting Machine
* Top Notes Die
* Sticky Strip
Non-Stampin' Up! Materials:
* 23 mm Google Eyes
1. Cut two Top Notes shapes from Whisper White card stock. Use Stampin' Sponge and Basic Gray Stampin' Pad to sponge color around edges; sponge edges of all torn strips of textured card stock.
2. Place Google Eyes on Top Notes shape as shown in sample below.
3. Use Sticky Strip to adhere strips, one at a time, to front and back pieces. Remove backing from Sticky Strip on box and adhere face and back of head to box.
Hopefully, these instructions aren't too cryptic and you'll be able to make tons of these cute Halloween treat boxes!
Happy Haunting!
