![]() ![]() The finished candy box inspired by the attic dorm at Nevermore Academy. Now, your candy container isn’t just like everyone else’s. You can add some more designs around the edge or leave it plain black. Paste the completed spider web window design, facing out, on the inside of the lid. If you want brighter colors, you can use individual colored tissue paper pieces for Enid’s side, but that depends on how much time and paper you want to use. There are the two halves of the girls’ dorm. Leave one half of the web plain, and on the other, use markers to color it in with blues, pinks, purples, or other bright colors. To make it similar to the big window in Enid’s and Wednesday’s dorm, paste white tissue paper over the back of the web. Add some stickers or embellishments that reflect Enid’s and Wednesday’s personalities. Place white tissue paper behind the web shape, color half of it in with bright colors, and glue the web to the backside of the lid, facing out. ![]() You might have made something similar for Halloween or for winter/Christmas snowflakes. The result is a simple spider web design. Make sure the cuts stay within the smaller circle of the cutout. On the side where the folds are, draw some half-crescent shapes all down the edge. Then fold it in half one more time (as shown below). To make the spider web, fold the circle in half. It will open up to make a weblike pattern. Cut small crescent or straight slots on the side with the folds, angled down. To make a “web” pattern, fold the paper circle in half, then fold it twice more, like a snowflake. This black circle will be a simple version of the spider web window in the big Nevermore Academy dorm room that shows off the contrast of the two roommates’ personalities and styles. Cut it out this circle along the larger circle’s edge. Use the remainder of the construction paper to cover the front of the candy lid so it is solid black.ĭraw another circle around it about a half inch bigger. Use the cut-out circle as a template, and trace it on a black piece of construction paper. Make a hole in the lid, and place black construction paper over the top. There will be a thin plastic layer to cut through, as well. Remove the lid and trace a large circle in the middle with a glass or bowl. These usually cost only about $1.25, so you won’t feel bad giving it a new look.

Some tissue and construction paper will help transform a generic valentine-shaped candy box into a much cooler and creepier theme. As a result, their dorm room became the fan-favorite mismatched “Burtonesque” set piece that was practically a character of its own. This week, we’ll start by giving a plain candy box a makeover inspired by the dorm room of reluctant BFFs Wednesday and Enid from the Netflix series Wednesday.Įnid loves all things bright and sparkly, while Wednesday, well, she’s allergic to color. Let’s celebrate them, in all their eeriness, over the next two weeks by turning some ordinary and inexpensive heart-shaped boxes into darker, spookier gifts for whatever you want to celebrate this February: Valentine’s, Palentine’s, Galentine’s, or, my favorite, Valoween! With Tim Burton’s Wednesday streaming in late 2022-and M3GAN hitting theaters in 2023-this could be the Valentine’s Day for the creepy, cool girls. ![]()
