Carnivorous Plants of Paper Mache | My Ghoul Friday Author's note: this how-to was written years ago, before I started mastering toilet paper mache. In fact, I wrote this while making my first plant ever. Which explains why it's so pitiful (the pictures, the instructions and my technique). But I've decided to keep the original images and most of the original content for you to see what it might look like the very first time you try to make one yourself. Materials Needed: styrofoam ballswirea heavy stick or branchfake fangsacrylic paintgluetoilet paperhot glue gun (optional)plaster (optional) Step 1: Choose Your Base I had an old terracotta pot and a small branch. Back then (being the scrounging, recycling, reusing mad woman I was), I packed the branch in with styrofoam I had from packaging. If you're making a large plant (like this one), I would suggest you do a mixture of packing material (to fill in most of the space) and plaster. Step 2: Attach the Foam Balls I had styrofoam balls of 3 different sizes. Step 3: Add the Foliage Step 5: Fangs
What Does Your Body Language Say About You? How To Read Signs and Recognize Gestures Art by LaetitziaAs we all know, communication is essential in society. Advancements in technology have transformed the way that we correspond with others in the modern world. Because of the constant buzz in our technological world, it's easy to forget how important communicating face-to-face is.

Scary Dragon costume - All So, My most ambitious costume to date was to create a Wearable smoke breathing dragon. This costume could easily be converted into a prop for freaking your neighborhood out! I learned a few things along the way, and have tips for anyone who may wish to create something similar in the future. One Optional Part is the Smoke machine, which runs off a 12 v power supply. Parts needed. 1. Tools needed 1. Optional parts 1. How to Make a Werewolf Mask - All Here is a list of the main supplies you will need: - Foam board 16x20 -(Although this can be substituted for any sturdy medium, such as cardboard, I highly recommend using foam board. It's lightweight, durable, easy to cut and work with and you should be able to find a good size piece for under $10) - Fur - For the mask, you will not need as much as I have pictured. Go to your local craft store and see if you can find them in the 9x12 sheets. - Ruler - Used for measuring and making cuts in the foam board. - Masking tape - Highly essential. - Cutting Tool - I use an X-acto knife, but anything with a sharp blade will do, such as a box cutter. - Needle/Thread - This is for sewing the beanie to the foam board for one of the later steps. - Hot Glue Sticks/Gun - I cannot stress how important this is. - Beanie Hat - This will be sewed to the foam board to give it a secure fit to your head. - Elastic Bands - Another dollar store special. - Model Magic/Clay - You will need very little of this.
Revvo Casters and Wheels - Technical Reference Technical Reference for Revvo Caster and Wheel Performance Rolling ResistanceRolling resistance determines the effort necessary to move the equipment from rest and to keep it rolling. If a wheel, so hard that it will not flatten under load, rolls on an absolutely flat hard surface, perfect rolling is possible. The nearer you get to this ideal, the lower the rolling resistance becomes. In view of this, the first choice should be hard tread wheels, but the average floor is far from smooth and clean and is often littered with small particles of some description. Once the wheels are rolling they will pass over these small items with no problem, but if the equipment starts from rest with minor obstructions, such as swarf, in front of the wheels then the starting effort includes that which is necessary to lift the equipment to the height of the obstructions. Load CapacitiesWe do not give load capacities for "ideal working conditions" as these rarely exist.

Monster Page of Halloween Project Links amazon » Making a Monster / Step 3 : Cutting the Teeth Continued from – Step 2 : Bones of the Beast Full Disclosure – this project began before we decided to create the blog ‘Fake Believe’ – There is inadequate photographic documentation in this post and I apologize. I hope to do a better job with future posts. The most important aspect of Alex Pardee’s design for this beast was the TEETH. They needed to be huge, sharp, gnarly and there needed to be LOTS of them. Monster sketch by Alex Pardee. Since this was a costume and the teeth needed to be lightweight, I opted for the new, super cool ‘made-for-kids’ product “magic Dough” made by Crayola (other off-brands seem to work fine too). Attaching all the teeth was done by using 1/4″ pieces of Luan (plywood) cut to fit the inside of the monster’s mouth. To make each tooth, I used a tape measure while working to make sure I had a variety of sizes. The molded tooth shown before I pushed the wire inside. the pigtail curl was placed inside, about 1/4″ from the end of the tooth.
