Fall Greetings! Shellye McDaniel<\/a> here today with a unique way to use popcorn boxes to make an accordion style pocket album. This would also make a cute happy mail project for your Halloween lovin’ friends. I love making stuffed envelope style projects, and that’s what I based this Halloween Popcorn Box Pocket Album on. <\/p>\n

Creating with Popcorn Boxes<\/h2>\n

Happy Mail is one of my favorite things to create, so when I found these flat popcorn boxes boxes I immediately decided to make a pocket album that fits in the mail! Halloween Happy Mail!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

To get started I pulled out four of the 3x3x4-in striped popcorn boxes, some Halloween papers and embellishments, and my favorite adhesives!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Begin by decorating the front of the flat popcorn box using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1\/2in<\/a> to attach the pre-made chipboard spider. Next layer on the witch sticker and scalloped circle with 3D Foam<\/a> <\/a><\/strong>Squares.<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, to hold the pocket pages together, make strips of 3×12-in patterned and then fold them in half. Adhere the strips to the front and then back of the boxes with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1\/2in<\/a>. Make sure that the folds of the paper extend further than the edge so they easily fold. The folds are alternated to make it an accordion style, as shown below.<\/p>\n

Filling the Pockets <\/h2>\n

Onto the fillers: I crafted paper wands, tags and ephemera pieces!<\/p>\n

\n
\"Tags<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I love using Adhesive Dots 3D<\/a> for attaching bows, die cuts and buttons to projects. These tags fit perfectly in the flattened popcorn boxes.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Wands<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Finally these paper wands above are my favorites! Top each paper straw with a Halloween eraser. To hold the erasers on, wind Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1\/4in <\/a>around one end 3-4 times to create a thickness. The erasers are there to stay! <\/p>\n

Next add a glittered stripe to the straws. To do this carefully wrap Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1\/8in<\/a> between the purples stripes. Remove the red liner and sprinkle with orange glitter. I love these!<\/p>\n

You can find these cute mini popcorn containers at just about any craft supply store and they’re very inexpensive! I can’t wait to try out more themes for upcoming holidays. <\/p>\n
