Boo! Halloween Cake

I have always wanted to do one of those so I finally did.

Start with 3 graduated boxes.

 Measure the boxes.  I use a dress makers measuring tape.

Next cut your paper. I use my Gypsy to cut circles for round boxes.

It is almost impossible to get a round top exact.  You can either cut it a little larger and sand or trim it to fit or you can paint the top and side of the lid to match your paper.

Apply your paper using your preferred adhesive.  I use Mod Podge.  I spread it on the back of the paper instead of on the box itself.  I place the back piece on first then the front allowing for some over lap.  Apply the paper on the sides with the lid on and line it up to the bottom of the box.

I do not put paper under the lid because it makes it too tight.  Usually there is some gap left.

I cover this with another piece of paper or in this case ribbon.  Again the top is on the box and this time I line up my product to the edge of the lid concealing any gaps.

Here is the finished product.

Isn't it Bootiful?
