Hello crafty friends! Today I'm excited to be part of a great team of fellow CutCardStock teammates who have put together a frightfully good hop of Halloween projects for you. My project is what I call a Spooky Cube! The six sides each feature a letter. Guess what it spells?
That's right! It spells spooky! I thought this would be a fun home decor item to sit on my entry table along with other Halloween decorations. I love that it is interactive and anyone who notices it will surely be tempted to pick it up to solve for the word.
This cube is 4" square and a decent size. It was simple to construct. I started by cutting the word elements out of a 12 x 12 cardstock from the My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting collection. The word blocks really determined the size of my cube. I chose to cut the squares using Basis Brown cardstock from CutCardStock. I drew in some light tick marks to use as guides for the washi tape placement.
To begin, I attached the squares together on the back side with some wood grain washi tape from Eyelet Outlet to hold it together while I worked on it. I flipped it over and on the right side of the cardstock, I began to lay my strips of washi so that when folded, a cube would form.
Then it was time to decorate the cube! I made six squares using a scallop square die cutting from more Basis Brown cardstock. I applied various ephemera and stickers from the Happy Haunting collection. I attached them to the cube with adhesives and brads.
This was a lot of fun to create it's very sturdy. I have no concerns of it coming apart as it is not fragile at all. I know I can use this for a decoration for years to come.
