Thread: Needing ideas.

Hey, i would've posted this in the Crafts Section if it were up and running, but i don't think it is, so i'll do it here.
I have a family member who smokes, so i have a constant supply of cigarette boxes. I've just realised that they could be re-used and made it something, but i'm struggling to think of something. It can't really involve latex, or really expensive materials, and anything which is only available to the USA 'cause i live in England.
Cheers.

Here is one.
First, create a frame with a spandex material (in a gray color) in the shape or size of a door or wall panel. Then paint the boxed to look like bricks and clue them (at the centers only) to the cloth. Now as the TOTs walk by you can stretch the wall as if, something was coming through, at them. And by adding a strobe light (Back lighting the actor) you can see it coming too. LOL

Awesome idea, cheers mate. I'll definitely try that.

Buy a cardboard coffin - about $30 to $35 here in the US. Take the scisors to the cig boxes making "flat fronts" of each cig pack. Glue these to the sides and lid of the cardboard coffin.

Get a cheap skel. Use a small amount of latex on the chest of the skel to make it rough so that when painted with skin colored paint and lots of black where the lungs are, it looks rough and "Tarry." Stick a cig in the mouth of the skel, place the head and torso (with arms) so that they can be seen when the upper, "viewing" lid is left open.

If you want to really go the distance, use a trimmed drinking straw rather than a real cig. Put a red LED in the tip and place a small fog machine under, and piped to the coffin or just inside the coffin under the large part of the lid.

Thanks, i'll try that too. You guys are so creative. I'm beginning to loose my imagination, it sucks.
