Create this fun little guy and just like the Jack O' Lantern, glue a magnet on back, a pin back to wear or nothing at all! Glue him to the front of a card or treat cup, whatever your frightful Frankenstein needs might be.
Materials:
2 green pipe cleaners (fuzzy, metallic or shiny)
2 google eyes (preferably of different sizes)
2 black pipe cleaner piece (for mouth and hair)
Magnet, pin back (optional)
1. Bend one of the green pipe cleaners into a square for his head. The example is 1 inch by 1 inch, not including the hair. (With his hair he's 1 3/4 inches tall!) Twist the ends together to complete the square. Trim off excess pipe cleaner.
2. Using the excess pipe cleaner from the square, wrap the end around one side of the square so that it pinches and holds on so that you can run the pipe cleaner piece across to the other side, wrap around the edge and pull the pipe cleaner taught (without bending the square base) and wrap around the opposite edge. Alternate wrapping over and under on opposite sides for a cleaner look. Repeat until you have covered the entire base with green pipe cleaner.
3. Take the black pipe cleaner and bend into a square shape (3 sides) but into a jagged shape for the 4th side to create Frankenstein's hair. Apply a dab of glue to the ends and hold together until hardened.
4. Glue black hair piece to top to the green square head.
5. Take a small piece of black pipe cleaner and form mouth shape and glue on (smile, line, jagged etc;)
6. Apply dabs of glue to the back of the google eyes and apply.
7. Add magnets, pin backs, glue to card etc;
That's it!
