A family of black pressed-paper cats prowls through a pumpkin patch. Their bodies are made from different sizes of heart-shaped boxes turned upside down.
Pressed-paper acorn boxes get dressed up for Halloween, evoking vintage treat containers handed out by candy shops and bakeries in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
These woodland favors are made with pinecone boxes disguised as birds of prey. The textured ridges resemble feathers, and crepe-paper embellishments finish the owl's menacing look
A plump jack-o'-lantern cracks a smile as the candy inside is revealed. The round container was painted orange and covered in tapered strips of crepe paper. The stem, the leaves, and a funny face, all cut from crepe paper, complete the treat box.
Three perched owls, made from egg-shaped pressed-paper boxes, don't need to hunt for another meal. Their bellies are filled with enough treats to last the night.
Play with the notion of positive and negative space by layering black and white paints -- in spooky shapes, of course -- on black and white goody bags.
