Default Want to make a few more corpses this week...



Does anyone have any working links for Corpse Making?

MOst of the One's on Butlers page are either not what Im looking for, or dont have linked pictures available.

Im trying to get the wife and kids involved, and am On a bit of a Budget, so I was looking to make some Blucky ground Poppers for my Cemetary...

I was going to go with the Paper Towel/Glue effect... and was wondering what kind of Glue I could use.. (Latex is too expensive with my Current Budget )

Will Elmer's work? Or does it dry too slow? Any Ideas would REALLY pump up my Halloween this year!!

I used glue and kleenex last year, and paper towel and carpet latex (not the good stuff- the cheap stuff!) this year. Both work great, but I think the latex is easier. And it's so much more fun! Use latex gloves, though (cheap large bag from home despot).

I've been using the elmers glue and napkins on my blucky. So far it's looking decent. I've been working on this thing for like 3 weeks already! LOL (My baby is keeping me pretty occupied) I guess when I'm done I'll stain/paint it..which I will hopefully finish this weekend since hubby is taking our lil one to GA to visit his family for a few days!




Send..more..brains

I used Elmer's Glue and tissues. It dried within a day. It has okay strength also. I tried a couple methods to color him the only one I liked was using a stencil brush and going over the tissue with several mixes of color. I really liked the way it turned out.
So Elmer's Glue works fine....and it's cheap
