So the time is approaching to finish up the needed props and decorations for my son's 18th birthday. It is "Thriller" slash retro zombie. So as to combine the 80's with zombies.......yeah. Thanks to Michael Jackson it can be done. So I finished the zombie dip heads. Or are for the zombies? It was relatively simple, find some mannequin (Styrofoam) and scoop out hole for bowl and paint ghoulishly. I then found these platters at the Dollar Store that fit perfectly. Hot glue them on and then I added some embellishments to make them more real. Like glasses, earrings, hair clips and even skull candies (hahhaahha, I crack myself up).
I stacked them up just to be able to see them all at once.
Ok on to the centerpieces, Dollar Store vases, covered in cut out scrapbook paper. When the night comes I will put dead roses in them and a light up coaster or glowstick (depending on the remaining budget) on the bottom.
The next project I have to work on, at least when the rain stops, is the cemetery benches.
Have I mentioned how cool these are?
ReplyDeleteThese Zombie heads are super-cool!!That top one is creepy-pretty...too bad she's dead.
Yay!!! for mentioning them again :)
ReplyDeleteI think the one on the bottom is just annoyed that her plans were ruined. ahahahaha I just got a bunch of body parts gummies too.
ZOMG!!!! These are fabulous. I love any sort of heads used as vases/bowls/etc...I have a few around the house but never thought of zombies. Halloween, here I come!

ReplyDeleteThese are totally awesome! Love the top one, its totally creepy! I might have to borrow this idea (although I'm sure mine wone turn out nearly as cool!)
ReplyDeletethey will be fabulous!! It only took 3 paint colors, whit, black, and red. Oh and a tinge of bluish green. Here's a hint for the skeleton one I bit off the chin to make it look torn. hahahahahha sometimes ya just gotta do what you gotta do. Thanks Kerry for all the comments. I love them :)
