5 Ways to Dress Up Boxed Wine for Halloween
Make your Halloween party extra spooky and fun by dressing up boxed wine.
Prep the Boxes
What You'll Need:
- boxed wine
- green, black and green wrapping paper
- tape
- craft knife
Remove the cardboard circle on the box where the dispenser is (Image 1 below). Next, wrap the boxes like you would a gift (Image 2 below). We went with two bright green, one bright purple and two black boxes (Image 3 below). Once wrapped, cut an X where the dispenser is, and cut where the flap is above the dispenser using a craft knife (Image 4 below). Pull the dispenser through, keeping the paper intact as much as possible. Tape where you cut for the flap to keep everything secure (Image 5 below). Now, you're ready to dress the boxes up.

What You'll Need:
- boxed wine, wrapped in black
- white and black scrap paper for eyes
- gauze
- wood stain
- clean, dry rag
- adhesive dots
- hot glue gun and sticks
Attach the Eyes
Make the eyes using white and black card stock. Attach them to the boxed wine with hot glue unevenly for an unhinged look.

Stain the Gauze
Wood stain will give the gauze an aged look. To apply, dip a rag in the wood stain and work it into the gauze. Keep going to saturate the gauze and also fray it for an extra effect. Note: Wear gloves and cover your workspace if you're working with an oil-based stain. You can also use tea or coffee to stain it, but wood stain is quicker.

Attach the Gauze
Attach the end of the stained gauze at the top right of the boxed wine using hot glue. Wrap around the box to resemble a mummy, securing with hot glue as you go.
