I still can't quite believe I've made this - it was soooooo tricky! I made the mechanism out of a cardboard box - which sounds pretty fast but took aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. So long, I'd set it aside and thought I might just let it go into recycling! Then I got a notion that I could make it into a The Nightmare Before Christmas version as DS2's Christmas card this year. I dug out all the Halloween dies I had, a lot of the Tim Holtz ones worked really well with the look of the film.
What I hadn't factored on was the amount of backing I had to do for various eyes, mouths, etc. so I basically had to make a front and back to every one of the eight figures. I did a little bit of it every day for a few days so I didn't get too fed up!
I did them all up as standard Halloween then realised I needed to make them more Christmassy so went back and added something to each of them that is festive.
