Exploding Frankie

Have you joined the Frankie craze yet? If not, there’s still time–Halloween is more than eight weeks away!

Monday evening I saw Dawn’s Frankies

and decided right away that I had to make an Exploding Box Frankie.

The first picture shows the exploding box closed with the cover. The second picture is a close-up of the cover. The third picture shows how the box looks when it is opened. The little Frankie inside the box has a face on both sides. I thought it was a cute idea to lift the cover and have a Frankie inside too. (See July posting for instructions on making an exploding box.)

As I wanted to get him posted ASAP, I didn’t get a chance to decorate the flaps. I have a lot of Halloween patterned paper and embellishments, but as usual I have to pick out the photos I want to use. By using both sides of the flaps, I can put up to 20 photos.

Frankies are so cute and easy to make. Next I think I may make an Exploding Bride of Frankie.

I hope you liked my version of Frankie. Thanks for stoppping by and don’t forget, if you haven’t joined the craze yet, we would still love to see your Frankies.
