- Finally – cut out TWO “bolts” from your remaining black cardstock.
- To finish your Paper Halloween Frankenstein Keepsake, simple staple the two handprint “hair pieces” to the top of the dark green cardstock, along with gluing the other cardstock embellishments in the remaining spots {see our picture for an example.
