Thread: Hands and feet for static prop...

Tweet

Does anyone know where I can get hands and feet(human), left and right, for lifesize props I'm building? Either store bought (cheap) or how to make some? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Dollar Tree typically has hands and feet, but they have been cleaned out the last couple of times I've been in there... so it might be worth it to check if you've got several in your area.They would both be rights, but for the price, you could mess with them a bit and see if you could come up with a usable set if you can find them now.

Otherwise, Walgreens has had the one foot with the stuffed leg, not sure how much tho. No idea on the hands.

Making hands... I've used wire, tape and great stuff foam, stuffed medical gloves/regular gloves and cut them out of cardboard with varying degrees of success.

Try haunt project for some other options on builds:

I bought a pair of ground breaker hands from a Dollar Store this year that I'm using for my Fortune Teller. I wish I had bought some more. I also have made hands in the past by using brown cotton work gloves and filling them with Great Stuff. They are very durable although they don't look like skin.

I haven't really done feet, I just put shoes on all my props so the feet are implied.

I had already bought a hand and foot.from dollar tree early in October, told myself I'll go back and get more and you guessed it, they were gone, I was also going to use the ground breaker hands from dollar store but they flew off the shelves, both of the suggestions from the replies sound good, I'll try those...thanks FG & JS for your help!

Dollar stores have 1 hand and 1 foot / kinda small but its molded from real hands and feet they look good. spirit sells two hands ( left and right )with stakes at the ends ( to stick in front of tombstones ) they go for 6 bucks for the pair. kinds small too and human. I usually make my own from carved pink foam or inexpensive clay. I'm sure there are alot of tutorials in these forums. alot of haunters build thier hands on wire.

Plenty of severed arms and legs at the local Spirit store.

Ground breaker hands look great & one of the few ways to get a left & right pair.

KMart has a nice set of hands. I bought a pair last week and like the quality. About $10 for the pair. I wasn't thrilled with the price, but it saved a lot of work and time.

I bought the best pair of hands for my electric chair prop from frightprops.com

Depending on the prop, you could also consider using a pair of gloves, such as gardening gloves
