Creepy Shrunken Head

Day 8


This creepy little project started out with a head and some hair gel, both from the dollar store and a pickle jar.


 First thing I did was spray paint the pickle jar lid black.
While it was drying  I added a very small drop of green food coloring to the gel. I didn't want to add to much because I just wanted a hint of green.
 Then I put the creepy head into the pickle jar.
 Three of my grand kids were helping me with this. Ages two, five and seven. They thought is was hilarious when I started squeezing gel onto the head. When it was full I added the lid.
They didn't laugh to much at the finished product. They thought is was kind of scary! I think I might put this on my husbands night stand when he is sleeping. LOL!

  3. Very cool! Shoving a glow stick in the head would give it an interesting effect too ;o)

  9. Hi, I love this for table decor at our annual family party. I am standing in Dollar Tree looking for the head; it's not here. Can you tell me which dollar store you bought your head from?

  16. I put one of the cheap flexible rubber masks with hair in a method soap refill bottle with narrow mouth and filled it with water, the gel would make it better,.
