Hello! I'm building a new project! This time its Corpse Legs. Very easy to make some legs! This is only the frame paper mache is one more day.

Okay now thats over here we go

Materials:
1 8 foot 1x2
2-4 L brackets
Screws
Duct Tape (Almost out! lol)
Cardboard (like waffle boxs and cereal boxs) Make sure it can bend
Newspaper

Tools:
Drill or screw driver
Staple Gun
Hammer
Miter Saw or Hand Saw
Sissors

First Step:
Take your 1x2. Use your leg as a guide.mark were your knees are. Your can scale it down (thats what I did). Now cut were you marked. the top part of the leg should always be shorter then the shin. With that get your L brackets. Take your hammer and on a hard surface hammer were the angle is to make it a a bigger angle. Or just leave the 90. Screw them in with your drill and screws.

Second Step:
This is were you will give your leg(s) some meat!. Get your cardboard and cut it on the creases in the cardboard. Start at the shin. Each layer will get bigger and bigger.

Staple at the back.

Do that all the way up to the top. Like this

Thrid Step:
Take your newspaper and start stuffing the inside make it pretty firm. Do that to the top and bottom parts.
After that you have to make the knee. Take a big piece of paper crumple it in a ball and put it at the knee joint. Duct tape it really good

Then you have to duct tape all the seams to make it all flow like a real leg.

Also duct tape the back were the staples are and the ends of the legs.

Heres the set of legs I built. These will be corpsed with paper mache.

Thats that! This was a very easy project. It just take a little effort. The best thing about this it only costed me the L brakets that were like 2 dollers for 4.
and the wood that was a doller $5 bucks not that bad. If you have any questions please post in here or PM me!
