Halloween Crafts - Aliens
What you will need:
clear glass or plastic jar with tight-fitting lid
Sculpey bake-hard craft clay
little plastic (or glass) eyes of various sorts
acrylic paints
food coloring
paper for labels
Cotton Balls
glue
your computer
- Paint the lid of your jar black, so it will look like a real scientific
specimen jar.
- Using the Sculpey, model your creature, making sure it will fit inside the jar.
- Poke the eyes into it, then take them out
- When your creature is finished, bake in a 325-degree oven until the thing turns uniform brown. Let it cool fully.
- Paint, and glue in the eyes.
- Decide what you have just created. Give it a name like, Twiggle Stimjiggy From Mars.
- Create the label for your jar. On your computer, create a
scientific specimen label. Print the label.
- When the paint on your alien is dry, it's time to fill the jar with water and insert your "specimen" into the "formaldehyde".
- Tint the water with food coloring. I suggest green or orange for a great effect.
- Wind threads of cotton around your alien.
- Glue your label to the jar.
