<p><span style="color: #808080;">Recycle frappuccino bottles and carton into fun Halloween treat containers:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image001.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8554" title="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" src="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image001.jpg" alt="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" width="450" height="533" /></a></span><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Instructions:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">1. Cover recycled frappuccino carton with patterned papers: Lay each side of carton on patterned paper and trace with a pencil. Cut and adhere to carton using X-Press It Double-Sided High Tack Tape .<br />
<strong><br />
TIP:</strong> To achieve seamless seams, color the corners of the carton with coordinating Copic marker color. This way, if seams don’t match up perfectly, they will be unnoticeable:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image002.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8555" title="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" src="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image002.jpg" alt="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" width="450" height="357" /></a></span><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">2. Stamp witch image and sentiment onto X-Press It Blending Card with Tuxedo Black Ink; color with Copic Sketch Markers (colors listed in supplies below).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image003.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8556" title="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" src="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image003.jpg" alt="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" width="450" height="309" /></a></span><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"> 3. Die cut witch image and while cardstock is still in the die, airbrush T2 background.</span></p>
<p>4. Stamp and color additional hat, hand trim and pop up on foam tape for added dimension.</p>
<p><strong>TIP</strong> : Color edges of cut out images with coordinating Copic color, to finish them nicely and give a more realistic look.</p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image004.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8557" title="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" src="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image004.jpg" alt="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" width="450" height="421" /></a></span><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">5. Die cut green cardstock frame, run through Xyron machine and cover with green glitter; adhere glittered frame over witch image. Attach framed witch to carton with foam tape.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image005.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8558" title="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" src="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image005.jpg" alt="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" width="450" height="358" /></a></span><span style="color: #808080;"><br />
6. Stamp “Happy Halloween” sentiment onto X-Press It Blending Card and die cut with Classic Circle Nestabilities die; while cardstock is still in die, airbrush with YR16. Layer sentiment onto another circle die cut from black cardstock; attach to frappuccino carton with foam tape.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image006.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8559" title="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" src="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image006.jpg" alt="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" width="450" height="291" /></a></span><span style="color: #808080;"><br />
7. Repeat step 6 with smaller “Trick or Treat” sentiment and attach to lid of frappuccino bottle.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">8. Wrap X-Press It Double-Sided High Tack Tape around edge of frappuccino lid and cover with green glitter.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image008.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8561" title="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" src="http://www.copicmarker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/image008.jpg" alt="Copic Halloween Project by Sharon Harnist" width="450" height="409" /></a></span><span style="color: #808080;"> </span></p>
