1. Cut design pieces. ( I used double sided card stock) ( The red Bow tie piece is not shown in the beginning of this picture tutorial…sorry)
2. Glue the face piece with cut outs to the solid face piece; aligning at the bottom. Using foam adhesive squares, attach the heels of the shoes to the coordinating shapes of the shoe bases.
3. Glue the whites of the eyes and the fangs into place on the combined face.
4. Glue the white curved cuffs to the top of the hands; aligning on the top edges.
5. Using foam adhesive squares, attach the combined face and combined hands to the basket base. ( The head aligns with the top of the basket base). Glue the red bow tie under the head and in-between the hands; centering it.
6. Flip the combined basket over. Fold the basket base at the score lines. Apply glue to the bottom two tabs on the basket base and secure to the Vampire shape below.
7. Apply glue to the top two tabs on the basket base and secure to the rounded shape above creating a box.
8. Using foam adhesive squares, attach the combined shoes to the rounded side of the basket.
9. Insert the handle on either side of the basket.
10. Finish by adding a ribbon for the bow tie and adding adhesive enamel dots to accentuate the eyes:)
