Cardboard Roll Monster Craft
You are not going to believe how monstrously cute this Cardboard Roll Monster Craft is! All the eyes! Sometimes only one eye! But so many eyes! I have to say, monster crafts are some of my favorites any time, but especially at Halloween and especially this one.
To get all those eyes for our monster craft, you’re going to need our Free Monster Eyes Printable. The monster eyes printable comes with 3 sheets; smaller, medium, and larger. Because monsters come in all shapes and sizes. We also have a Free Monster Wrap Printable Template, with all the sizes you need to easily create your monsters.

Halloween Monsters Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by printing both the eyes and the wrap template. Cut out the pieces of the wrap template.
Now, line up the wrap with the cardstock color of choice for your first monster. Cut out.
Glue the wrap around the cardboard roll. You may need to hold heavier cardstock in place for a moment to make sure it sticks.
You can also try using a white marker or paint pen to draw a design on the wrap before gluing around the cardboard roll.
Next, once the wrap is glued, choose your eye, or eyes, for your monster. There are lots to choose from!
Cut out the eye(s) of your choice and glue in place on the cardboard roll.
Use a black marker to draw a monster-ish mouth. You can also use a white paint pen to draw teeth for your monster.
Then, it’s time to make some spiky hair for the monster. Trace the square piece from the template on another sheet of cardstock, color of your choice, and cut out. Cut some jagged lines at the top of the square.
Now, cut snips on each side of the face of the monster. Make the snips about an inch down.
Insert the hair into the snips to complete the cutest monsters you’ll meet this Halloween season! They’re ready for the Monster Mash!
