So I was at the Dollar Tree because that's what I do. I wonder around looking for deals. They had just started putting out the Halloween decorations. Not full blown, but a little area. Now I had been keeping an eye out for hands to put on my cemetery benches (which I still have not completed yet). I had looked at some sites that sell these things but they were either to expensive or just tooo dang creepy. I'm not making a movie it doesn't have to be THAT real. Can I just say ewwwww, especially the zombie babies chewing on an all too realistic hand.
Like I've said before we are aiming more toward campy than true terror.
Then, behold, I found plastic hands. But they looked like plastic hands and only the right one. There are a lot of left handed plastic dudes running around.
Yet, I was not satisfied with it, so I totally went all Phineas and Ferb on it. I pulled out my sharpies and picked up a set of fake nails while still at the dollar store.
All I did was take my black sharpie and go along the lines that were already there. I shaded it a little with black, then brown, and then finally red. Added a few more black lines (by following the lines already there).
I then colored the finger nails with the sharpies too. I also cut notches out of them like they had been broken trying to get out. A little super glue and tada!!! totally creepy without wanting to hurl.
So once again a Before and After
Ewww- but in a good way! What a creapy (but cool) idea!
