This is a VERY simple application of the Hollow Face illusion used so well by Disney for their talking busts. The eyes seem to look at you wherever you go. I grabbed the last package of ping pong balls at the Dollar Tree. They were badly abused, but it makes no difference to me, so I guess I saved them from the trash? I cut one in half with an Xacto knife, then ...
This is a super simple way to turn the 8'x4' sheets of polystyrene foam insulation into a stone wall. First, I peeled the clear plastic film off one side of the foam. The other side has foil on it. I left that alone. I then laid out my sheet and marked out the bricks. I choose to go with 12" wide x 6" high bricks. You could go with smaller bricks or go for a more random rock wall look. Those are slower and I wanted to get this done relatively quickly. ...

Once again hot glue sealed the wound, and also held in place the protruding bone I got from my tree. ...
So, I thought I'd see what it takes to zombify a teddy bear. I was lucky to find a T J Bearytales that died of natural causes and was interred at Goodwill. I used some hot glue to raise his eyebrows to a more menacing expression. I used a trimmer and some scissors to make some spots all worn ...
