Cardboard Roll Frankenstein

I love Halloween and I love all the fun crafts that you can make for Halloween. There’s goblins and ghosts and witches, oh my! There’s also Frankenstein, and this Cardboard Roll Frankenstein Craft is so super fun and easy.

Striking in just black and green, Frankenstein is such a great character to craft. Everything from his jagged bangs to the scar across his eyebrow, the lopsided eyes and the bolts on his neck. Little touches that really make the guy who he is, and they’re so fun to craft together.

So fun, in fact, that we’ve done a few over the years. Like our Plastic Bottle Frankenstein, a Tissue Paper Craft Stick Frankenstein, and these Paper Plate Halloween Treat Boxes, with good ol’ Frankie included. We also made this Frankenstein Printable that you can color in.

To make our Cardboard Roll Frankenstein Craft you will need toilet paper size cardboard rolls, green acrylic paint, black paper, a black marker, two different sized googly eyes, a stapler, glue stick, and scissors.

Make Frankenstein with a Cardboard Roll

Supplies needed:

Cardboard rolls
Green acrylic paint
Black paper
Black marker
Googly eyes, different sized small-medium
Stapler
Glue stick
Scissors

Begin by painting the cardboard roll green.

The very top of the cardboard roll can be left unpainted. Let dry.

Now, cut a jagged strip from the width of the black paper.

Staple in place around the top, unpainted part of the cardboard roll. Trim the end to fit.

Form 2 slits on opposite sides on the bottom of the cardboard roll. About an inch in.

Then cut a small strip, long enough to go through both slits. Also cut two small pieces, slightly wider than the strip, out of the black paper. Insert the long strip through both slits.
