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:
- Print template.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
