Frankie....the new man in my life!!!!

One of the things I love to do is share the fun a joy of papercraft with anyone who'll listen. I am lucky enough to share from time to time projects with the After Care Kids at my children's school. One vacation care I did some Halloween projects with about 50 children, but this time around...it was only 30....but still they love the Halloween stuff. The children range from K-6...so I have to have a project that will keep all ages interested. I recalled blurfing sometime back these FAB Halloween boxes that were done by Nicole Derendorf here and here.

Here is what I created, based on Nicole's boxes that she made.....meet Frankie!!







Due to the varying ages of the kids, I premade the box part of it, but the cut out the shape of the face, hair (they all cut their own fringe design), put the eyes together (and they LOVED the bloodshot eye look) and of course the gruesome scars...LOL!!! Here are some pics of the kids being industrious and their finished products!!

                                     




                                          


 And finally I had to make a v v special mention of this wee chap....he is 6 and I was so very pleased (as was he) with what he had made!!!!



Thanks for stopping by and sharing in this fun and mayhem!!

Heya DAG!

Love the Frankie Box. Great job! You've got me inspired.

And was that PINK I saw in an earlier post. My! You must have suffered.

So glad to hear from you. Was just wondering the other day whether TC got her Cricut (I see she has). Sing out if any questions.

Hugs
