You Will Need:

Printer
Lightweight card or thick paper

How to Make:

1. Print the pages for your Halloween matchbox.
2. Mount the printouts onto lightweight card, cut along the solid lines and fold along the dashed lines.
3. Glue the flaps marked ‘glue’ and assemble the box.
4. Line the inside of the box with the coloured rectangle templates to hide the tabs and give it a finished look.
