RUMI K-Pop Demon Hunters Octagon Treat Box

Happy Saturday and New Year everyone! I'm back with my first post for 2026, and I'm continuing with my K-pop Demon Hunters Octagon Treat Box series using products from Jaded Blossom. If you've been following me, then you know I've already created DERPY and ZOEY treat boxes (click on this previous post HERE). Today, I'm bringing you RUMI!! 

DIES USED:
Octagon Treat Box Die
Side Hair Pieces: I cut the "top layer" panel of the treat box from purple cardstock,
and then used the heart die-cut pieces to trace scallop edges.
Braid: Heart Dies 1 and Heart Dies 2
Hair Tie on end of braid: Bow Dies
Eyebrows: Octagon Dies: Turkey Add Ons
Eyes: Octagon Dies: Halloween Add Ons 
(I cut the larger circles in the die set from both black and white cardstock
so I could layer the black behind the white to create the look of eyeliner)
Black Pupil of Eye: Octagon Dies: Halloween Add Ons
(I forgot to use a white gel pen to add the white highlight to the pupil, 
but I did add it after I took the pictures)
Eyelashes/Mouth: Octagon Dies: Christmas Add Ons 2
Chalk for cheeks

The hardest part for the human characters is figuring out the hair. For Rumi's hair, I used Heart Dies 1 and Heart Dies 2, and colored each heart with Copic Markers (V04, V15, V17) to resemble hair.

Since her braid is the handle of the Octagon Treat Box, I used a magnet to hold the braid at the bottom. This way, the braid can be opened to fill the box with treats.

Here are the 3 characters I've finished so far. Mira is coming soon!

We have a NEW monthly challenge starting on Sunday for a chance to win a $20 Jaded Blossom gift certificate. And preview days for the January 2026 Release start first thing Monday.  

Have a great weekend!
