2) Where you would like the eyes to be, use
the eraser end of your pencil (it should be a
new eraser) to push in the Styrofoam. Make an
oval indent for the eyes by pushing the eraser
into the Styrofoam twice for each eye overlapping the circles -
one just above the other.
3) Use the sharpened end of a pencil to carve
a mouth under the nose and to make nostrils in
the bottom of the nose.
4) Compress the sides of the Styrofoam ball
with your thumbs and fingers.
5) Dip the screw end of a screw eye into
white glue and insert in the top of the skeleton
head (sculpted Styrofoam ball).
6) Cut your pipecleaners, so that you have
one piece 4" long for the body; on piece 6" long
for the arms and one piece 6" long for the legs.
7) Insert one end of the 4" long piece of
pipecleaner into the bottom of the head.
This is the body piece. Wrap the opposite end of
this body piece around the center of the leg
piece. Fold the legs down as pictured and bend
the tips of the legs at a 90o angle
to form feet.
8) Wrap the center of the arm piece around
the body approximately 1/2" down from the head.
Bend the arms into desired position.
9) Using a fine liner paintbrush and black
acrylic paint - paint the groove you carved as a
mouth and paint the nostril holes. Using
the black paint, paint the indents you made for
eyes. You may want to use a thicker brush
for this.
10) Tie a piece of elastic thread to the
screw eye and tie the other end of the elastic
thread into a loop and hang him any where you
like.
