How To Build A Corpse: Follow Up To Our 2009 Homemade Halloween Yard Display
Loading...
Uploaded by Yewtoobnube on Nov 1, 2009
Here's how I built the corpse. The bulk of the project is paper. For the skull, I had a styrofoam skull that I "corpsed" last year. You can buy them anywhere for a couple of bucks. The teeth were made from hot glue. The longest part of the job was the paper mache. You have to add several layers for strength, so this takes time. The way I make my mache is: Measure out 1 cup cornstarch and dump in lidded container. Add 1/2 cup water and mix in as best you can. (will be powdery after completely mixed).
Add 1/2 cup Elmers Glue and mix till all the lumps are gone. Tear your strips of paper, don't cut them. You need the rough edges. Hope you enjoy the video. Comments are welcome! I may put one up showing how I made Mr. Pumpkinhead and Mr. Red.

My Halloween Decorationsby tommy365972,930 views
Great work! I've been looking into doing a few of these myself execpt we have just bough our first house. Naturally we are young and cant afford the latest and greatest yet so our neighbourhood isn't that great. So I am worried my work my get vandelized or stolen. I MIGHT do only one this year maybe mor enext year if the other decorations last the season.

I'm not having luck woth my ribs looking as rounded and smooth.
do you use tons of newspaper when you roll?

@sziglar3 When I made the rib, I probably used about 4 full individual newspaper sheets and rolled them. It was pretty low tech! The duct tape helps round things out. Best of luck to ya!
