We use a bunch of ketchup - LOTS.
My kids like it, I like it, the husband likes it.
So I buy the big 64 oz bottles.
After we emptied yet another one, I got to thinking
'hey, I could use this for something'.
I turned it upside down (you know..to get a 'feeling' for it - lol)...
DING! Frankenstein!!!
I don't have a picture of the empty bottle but here it is spray painted green
(with 2 milk lids waiting to be painted)
*ignore the dead grass..we are getting sod :)
{while I have this picture of my Krylon spray paint..
I have to tell you that my Candy Corn Pine Cones made
the Top 10 at The CSI Project Painted Halloween!!
SO EXCITED!}
I used scrap vinyl for the hair, eye, nose & mouth. I covered the lids with aluminum foil and super glued them to the sides. I drew on 'scars'.
Here he is..testing out his surroundings.
not the best place...
Much better!
He finally found a home in a plant.
Kinda cute. A little spooky. Very cheap!

ReplyDeleteSeriously, you amaze me! I see an empty ketchup bottle and think, "I should recycle this. Oh well. Maybe next time." NEVER do I say, I think this would be a cute Frankenstein! You are too smart! Sooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteI need to send our big bottles to you! That turned out sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteYou and your spraypaint kill me. This is such a great/hilarious projet. And I actually kind of liked "Frank" hiding in the bushes a bit!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I host a linky party on my blog www.thetshirtdiaries.com and would be honored if you would link this tutorial up!
ReplyDeleteNow I want to dig through the recycling bin and pull out the squarish shaped detergent bottle I put in there and make it into a Frankie!
