Some ideas for usage food-wise are: put in some trail mix, popcorn, candy corn  or other fun snacks and use them for movies, on a picnic or hanging out with friends. This printable popcorn box is designed with stripes in Halloween colors, along with the Jack Skellington and two phrases. One is the title of the movie,  “The Nightmare before Christmas” and the other is based on the song “This is Halloween” from the movie.

Print out two sheets, cut them, fold, and add a little glue or tape to join the pieces and create fun Nightmare before Christmas themes popcorn boxes. Another fun idea is to separate caramel corn into different batches and color it to match your party theme.

What paper works best for Nightmare before Christmas popcorn boxes?

For super strong popcorn boxes I recommend using a white cardstock paper. The popcorn boxes hold up really well but will take a little more effort to cut. For a more economical choice try a multipurpose printer paper. It is easy to bend and quick to trim. These are definitely flimsier but once all the sides are together they work well enough for holding a light treat like popcorn. I usually just use standard paper. Just recently I made them with normal paper and took them to the movie theater. I then usually order a big tub or bag of popcorn and distribute it in to these themed popcorn boxes for my kids to eat.

What Can I Use to Cut My Paper?

Scissors are best for the curvy edges but if you are looking to do straight edges and doing them often, I recommend a paper cutter. It will make quick work of all those straight cuts. It is also helpful because you can cut more than one piece of paper at a time. We have a couple different paper cutters for all our free printables :)

What I like to do is put these printed chalk art in an unfinished frame. You can purchase these online, sometimes at a dollar store or at your local arts and crafts stores. I then paint the frame with some inexpensive acrylic to match the halloween theme!
