Without a major holiday between Easter and now (except for National Donut Day and Flag day, of course), my care packages to my brother in law have drastically decreased. Thankfully, Halloween is a ridicuslously commercialized holiday with really cheap candy--the perfect storm for a care package. I drew/painted a couple of images that you can apply onto an 8 1/2 x 10 1/4 x 2 1/2" box that I got from my local paper store like this haunted house (front/back):
and a personalized tombstone, naturally:
And then stuffed it with some fake teeth, glow sticks, and tons of candy. My candy theory is a bit of fruity, a bit of chocolate, then repeat.
supplies: cardboard box (I used 8 1/2 x 13 1/4 x 2 1/2"), filler, acrylic black paint, paintbrush, sharpie, white paint pen, template for haunted house
Download the haunted house template here (front and back). Just print it off and then past it onto the box. For the tombstone, simply draw in the shape, paint it black and add in the address with a white paint pen. DONZO.
