The eyes:
The eyes are made using 3 different sizes of Circle Punches – I used the sizes 1 3/8″, 1″ and 3/4″ – and punched the circles out of Crushed Curry, Whisper White and Basic Black cardstocks…
The background:
I used my 1 3/4″ Circle Punch to punch out two black circles…
I cut out a piece of Basic Black cardstock to measure 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″…
Added glue dots to the bottom of the black circles…
And then adhere them to the back of the rectangular cardstock…
And then adhere your eyes onto them…you can position them however you wish – experiment – you get very different looks depending on how you place them!
I wanted a cute look so put them both facing inwards…
Then trim your rectangular cardstock to size – I trimmed mine to be 3″ long…
The mouth:
Take a strip of Black cardstock sized 1 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and a punch to shape the teeth – I used the Scallop Edge Punch…
Punch down one side and then trim to the width you want – I trimmed mine to be 1″ – and then score 1/4″ in from the straight edge…
And repeat so that you end up with two mouth pieces.
Fold along the score lines and add strong adhesive such as Sticky Strip…
Fill your Cello Tube with candies – I used Candy Corn M&Ms…
And then adhere to your monster base – I used two Mini Glue Dots to do this – you will also note that I decided to round the 4 corners on the base – this is easy to do using the 3/16″ Corner Punch…
And adhere your first mouth part above the candy tube…
And then adhere the bottom mouth part underneath the candy tube.
For his nose I simply used punched out a 3/4″ Circle from Tangerine Tango cardstock and added it using a Dimensional to make it pop out a little…
If you wish to do so, add a sentiment to your treat – I used the Trick or Treat sentiment from ‘Best of Halloween’ and die cut it out using a die from Bitty Banners Framelits and used Dimensionals to add it to my base…
I hope you enjoy making these cute treats as much as I enjoyed designing them – please contact me if you have any questions and I will be very happy to help.
