Instructions to Craft Your Frankenstein:
Let’s bring this adorable Frankenstein to life step by step:
- Paint It Green: Begin by painting the paper roll light green. Mix in some white paint to achieve the perfect shade to bring your Frankenstein’s skin to life.
- Top It Black: Paint a black strip onto the top quarter of the paper roll to create Frankenstein’s iconic hairline.
- Jacket & Shirt: Paint a black “jacket” shape onto the lower two quarters of the paper roll. Leave the middle of the “jacket” area empty. Next, paint a white “shirt” in the middle of the “jacket” area, and touch up the details as needed.
- Let It Dry: Set your little Frankenstein aside to dry, allowing the colors to settle and create the perfect spooky contrast.
- Hair-raising Details: Snip thin strips on the top quarter of the paper roll – this will be Frankenstein’s distinctive hair.
- Add Features: Now, it’s time to glue on the googly eyes. Cut a semi-circle out of black construction paper to create Frank’s mouth, and cut out tiny squares from white construction paper for Frank’s teeth.
- Finishing Touches: Add the finishing touches by painting on stitches, marks, eyebrows, and the all-important nose.
As you follow these steps, your Halloween Frankenstein Craft will come to life, ready to join in on the spooky fun!
