How to Make Oogie Boogie’s Dice

Today I’m making Oogie Boogie’s Dice from The Nightmare Before Christmas!

I love these dice and they’re so easy to make. 

Fun fact, I dressed up as Oogie Boogie last year and made these dice out of foam…so this template will also work for foam dice you can get at the dollar store. 🙂

Steps to Make Oogie Boogie’s Dice:

1. Print template.
2. Cube
   • Tape the template onto a piece of cereal box cardboard.
   • Score all the inside lines (ie don’t cut all the way through the cardboard).
   • Use scissors to cut around the outside lines.
   • Fold along the scored lines. It will become a cube.
   • Glue down the thin flaps, add tape to hold it in place.
3. Designs
   • **All of the 6 of the designs will be 2 layers each**
   • Glue two layers of cereal box cardboard together. Wait until it dries before continuing.
   • Cut around each of the designs and tape 4 of them onto the doubled up cereal box slab. 
   • Use a craft knife to slice out the noses and eyes.
   • Cut all of the designs out.
   • As for the remaining 2 designs, tape them onto a single layer of cereal box cardboard, cut out the circles and square and then re-tape the design onto another sheet of cereal box cardboard to cut out the skull design. 
   • Use mod podge to glue each of the pieces onto the cube. 
4. Paint
   • Black craft paint
     • Eye holes/nose holes
     • Edges of each design
     • Add a little around the teeth on each skull
   • Red craft paint
     • Everything
   • Touch up the black eye holes.
5. Enjoy!
