Thread: fake hands

Tweet

After trying many different ways of making fake hands I have finally found a way to make some great hands, take rubber gloves and fill them with great stuff,be sure and fill the finger holes first,then let dry this may take 3 to 5 days to dry,then pull off gloves, you can trim up or sand down to your needs ,now you can paint or { this is what I did }put on another pair of rubber gloves,I did this with my Micheal Myers prop and it looks great.

good idea thks

That's along the same idea I'm working on. I used a styrofoam hand mount with bendable wire coming out as a base. Then take the rubber glove, and partially fill with baby powder, then insert the wire fingers and hand base. Finished filling with powder to desired fullness, then tie the rubber glove off and there ya go. A hand that is still posable but at least filled out rather than like a skeleton hand. Works especially good if you're putting gloves over them (which I am).

Forgot to ask, got any pics???

I made some that way except I punched a small hole in the tip of each finger and filled each until the foam came out the hole. I left the rubber gloves on and interestingly after about a week the began to shrivel up, actually turned out neat for something that was unintended.
