I love this! Simple, yet technical. I'm going to throw some glowing eyes on my build. Thank you for the video!! Subscribed. Please continue to make more videos!
Awesome! I age my cheapo store-bought skulls with wax stain, which is kind of expensive but goes a long ways. I think I'll try the watered down brown acrylic. If you kind of dab at it w/ a rag or paper towel you can get some cool textures. I LOVE the wall effect, I've got to try that next year, you do some very creepy stuff here!
may I suggest you look into washes and dry brushing, especially around the teeth, I have been using both since I started model making. it adds new dimensions to the 3D effect.
I just found it too!! Absolutely LOVE this!! Definitely going to try to do a few of them!! Thank you guys for the tutorial!! I would have never thought of doing it this way!! Also helps recycle that ol' plastic too which makes it even better!! ❤❤
Q: What stain or paint did you use on the wall mural behind you, that color looks great. Q: Can you re-heat the plastic to seal the cut you made in the back of the skull? Can you melt pieces together? Last Q: Where did you get the skull that you're using as the mold? *Another way to do the teeth is to just antique them. First paint them, then coat with clear medium, then just brush all the teeth w dark stain or paint, wipe off excess. The dark stain will get stuck in the cracks. You might want to press in harder w/ an embossing tool as you're melting the plastic to get the best detail.
i've used great stuff expanding foam to get the fleshy look. i spray it either on the skeleton or on a paper plate, then use a cheap paint brush to spread it around. it gets tacky pretty quick, then i paint or stain it.
This is the 2nd video of yours I’ve watched and although Halloween is not my holiday, I really enjoy yall and your creativity! I would like to say one thing tho, please get and use proper PPE when you’re painting & using chemicals. It’s worrying to see you in a cloud of toxic paint and know it’s coating your lungs. I use to perform autopsies and have seen first hand what I’m talking about. Y’all are great and we need to keep you making videos!😁💗
Hello, I appreciate your concerns for my well being and will take your advice into serious consideration . What no1 sees or realizes . Is that 2 feet on the other side of the camera is an open end of my shop. which is an 8ft x 8ft opening and I have an exhaust fan running right before that area. Also if u ever notice on the other end of the shop above the dewalt compressor is a white blower fan that pushes air out and away toward the opening. So when I say well ventilated , its not an over exaggeration. I do value your concerns and will take them seriously. Thank u
I have tried it a few times. It's shows up but not as vibrant. I have done the inside with the black paint to black out the eyes and nose and shadow areas.
That was my question too: spray paint the inside black and cut out the eye and nose sockets etc? Seems like it would be just as quick and avoid the shiny reflections from the black paint. Especially if the skull is going to be mounted like shown in the background
Would a dipping glaze be faster than spray painting...while protecting and cealing. Spray paint often makes the manufacturer or those working with the spray paint ill...COPD.
Hello, I have addressed this before. My shop is well ventilated. An 8ft X 8ft open end of the shop. Just feet away from.where I work. Also multiple fans blowing the air out away from me and an exhaust fan pulling the air out the open end of my shop. I will be advising to please take precautions by wearing mask. Or work in a well ventilated area , as I do. Thank u 4 your concerns.
New subscriber, awesone talent..u should open a store, this stuff would sale like hot cakes...These days people buy this stuff year around..so many people in to this kind of decor in there homes believe it or not...so glad I found your channel 😊😊😊😊
Oh amazing, ❤❤❤, wonder if my hair dryer would get hot enough to mold the milk jug? Love the stacked skulls can’t wait for that video. I bet y’all have the best Halloween decorations on the block!!
Hello, I have never tried a hair dryer. But am told that it doesn't get hot enough. U can find an inexpensive heat gun on Amazon or at harbor freight. We run a haunted attraction near home in N central Florida. Thank u.
Cool art ! I seen a van that had a netherland motif ( my description) had hands , skulls ( either Bondo or fiberglass ), drift wood , moss , and a dang good paint job . It was parked at the local Walmart . I use to work the craft shows marketing leather work . Leather masks was a big . Dig your creativity , I miss being around artists and the creative vibes . 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Just found your videos tonight. Much appreciated for such an affordable and crafty idea. Forgive me as I’m new to your channel…. do you make you own haunted house walkthrough or yard haunt? I’m 45 and loving the creativity of Halloween after failing at tried and “true” way of living as how I was raised. Love seeing there’s more to life 💜🎃👍
Not sure if anyone asked where is your haunted house ? We have a really popular one here in Jay Florida it’s in the woods but not very good it’s only popular because there is not a lot of competition for them here in NW Florida. Where I’m from north Ga, Newnan. Which just happens to be where they film Zombieland & Walking Dead etc. competition for haunted houses is big out churches have them for fund raising. Like your channel I have subscribed, good luck to you!
We r out at Otter Springs RV park and campground in Gilchrist county , Fl. This year its just a hayride and walking trail thru the woods. But is very scary. Thanx 4 watching
👍 great ideas to create props & features inexpensively. You could try washes for highlighting between teeth & in cracks (dark brown colours and/or reds). There are ready made washes or just water down acrylics or thinned stains would pool in these places well. Keep on creating!
You could black out a few teeth. That would look cool. Also, on the white skulls, you could use some of yellow stain on the teeth. That would be a cool look as well. On your sharpie outlines, you could go over those with paint to break up the lines.
If you buy a gallon of paint from HD you can save a ton of money. Buying it at Walmart costs $95/gallon after you get 64 of the 2-ounce bottles. Buying at HD is $35/gallon. Get some small bottles or cans to pour into from the gallon to make it more convenient.
Hey y’all! These look so good! I can’t wait to make one. I’ve gotta round up a skull to use as my pattern one. And the painting and shadowing is the fun part. For me anyway. Thanks y’all, see ya next time! ❤️💜💚
Have you tried using a blackwash then dry brushing the teeth to bring back the white/bone color of them? Love what your doing, keep doing it. Just throwing my two cents in. Going to try this technique and make some myself.
Mix a plaster of 0aris and vermiculite. Fill the plastic skull with it let dry then cut off the plastic .. would give you a skull you could add lites for eyes. And carve how ever you want on it
Not carving pumpkins this year making some cool skulls thank you. One guestion, what is your base/ mold skull or where did you get it. Where can you get em. Also use local vendors too
Thank you for sharing this great tutorial.. Where would a person find the skull you used under the jugs for the shaping?? Also, not a criticism, just a personal observation, but the 1-3 seconds of the sped up video and what I assume is supposed to be spooky music kinda ruins your video. It's really not necessary. It's your video, you do it how you like, I was just pointing out my personal observation.
the shadowing can easily be done with the heater you used and a corresponding color wrap..you may need to first apply glue...set the black shawdow wrap and then apply the heat with the handheld machine.
You guys are too cute. My husband and I are married 43 y.ears this month. We love to play as well. These are really the cutest things. I’m curious where you sell them and how much they cost? Well done and I wish .you all the success with .yo.ur channel. ✌🏻🤍
Absolutely love them, you are very talented. Love your relationship too, very much like mine and my husbands, we have been married for 36 years and we laugh every day no matter what happens in our lives, there is always an opportunity for a little smile or laugh together. I look forward to seeing more and more from you both, thank you x
You need to invent adhesive multicolor shrinkwrap (transparent and nontransparent) for Norman, Ramona and grandson LJ. Call 3M...be sure you can paint over that Shrink Wrap and that you can order the exact blend of colors preordered in their variaties (the foundation makeup for all your skulls and their varieties) and the shrink wrap that adapts to your skulls easily with the hand held machine so you only need to add fine detail...your artwork...without painting soo much. What you need is a textured canvas shrinkwrap that works unlike a canvas and creates texture...for painting. I think you can also make your own dip to create a mask...using home products. For example, using casting techniques like plaster of paris instead of spray paint..or you can combine..you're the expert artist.

I don't actually melt the milk jug plastic. It's more of softening it enough to reform it. I use hot glue to reattach the seam. Thanx 4xwatching.
So cool!! Great detail, cheap, & easy to use materials!! Great diy video!! 👍👏
Thanx so much
I'd like to make a pile of them for the corner of my living room--(real ones are so hard to get these days).
I know of a few places , but I dont shop there.
Thanks, gave me a lot of ideas for a Halloween costume this year
I'm so glad!
amazing job it looks super cool👍
Thanx, its supposed 2 look super spooky
it does look spooky @@CreepyCraftyCreations77
You guys are Amazing!❤
Thank u
This is such a fun idea 🎉 I'm most definitely going to try this. Thank you ❤
You are so welcome!
Very cool. Thanx for sharing...!!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!! This is super cool.

Great tips. Food camera angles and showing what you are doing close up.
Glad you liked it!

I really appreciate this channel you folks have. I had no idea of what could be made from milk and water jugs. Thank you for what you do.

No problem.
What would it look like if u painted the inside of the skull instead of the outside?
I have tried it a few times. It's shows up but not as vibrant. I have done the inside with the black paint to black out the eyes and nose and shadow areas.
That was my question too: spray paint the inside black and cut out the eye and nose sockets etc? Seems like it would be just as quick and avoid the shiny reflections from the black paint. Especially if the skull is going to be mounted like shown in the background
where are you getting the main skull to use as the template one?
I got mine from eBay.
Bahahahahaha! You two are adorable. 🥰
LOL, thanx . We try to keep it light and humorous
I use shrink rap and a heat gun to melt it to make Webbing and flesh on my skulls 💀
supper cool
Would a dipping glaze be faster than spray painting...while protecting and cealing. Spray paint often makes the manufacturer or those working with the spray paint ill...COPD.
My shop is well ventilated, but thanx 4 your concerns.
Where do you get the skull mold at
check the description please
How do you mount
?
I'll bet you could make a hell of mask like this and seperate the bottom jaw so you could talk.
Maybe
You are amazing!!!!
Oh stop it. I am blushing now
Fun video, but, I hope you’re wearing a mask while you’re spraying
My shop is super ventilated, thanx 4 your concerns
Should you be wearing a mask, or at least advise to do so? Also ventilation when using these very toxic chemicals is the key to safety!!
Hello, I have addressed this before. My shop is well ventilated. An 8ft X 8ft open end of the shop. Just feet away from.where I work.

Painting the teeth like that makes me think they’re waiting to have their pictures taken; cheese 😊
Lol, a couple of them asked .
Please put your camera closer to the work area, can’t see the details
Thank u for your input.
❤❤❤
Where did you get the skull that you used for the mold??
Hello, details on the model skull.is in the description. Thanx 4 watching
Looks great! Thanks for sharing! 💯 💀

We look for the oops paint at HD and lowes. $8
That's the best way to get paint! Especially really good expensive paint that I couldn't afford otherwise!😊

send in professionals. here is wife.
If u say so.
This is a great example of how imperfect can look perfect. Each skull is unique.
Great stuff dudes ! 💥
Do you ever finish with a coat of clear spray for protection ?
thanx, no we haven't , but will consider it now . after a few years of use of the props made from the milk jugs. They do start to get chips .
@@CreepyCraftyCreations77 Another question, what setting do you have your heat gun ?
This is awesome
Thanks
Thank you all again, this was very good and right on time too.
What state are you in?
We are in north central Florida
Nice work bro 🤜🤛✋🤚
'Contact Semen'...
Lol, ?
U would make some clay ones to break for dramatic effect
Very cool! 💀
Thanx
Love it!
Thank u
I like the dark walnut color
No way, gotta go with the red mahogany.
Nice!
I saw a technique, from Stiltbeast I think, to make teeth with hot glue and then glue them to the skull.
Yeah, he makes them with hot glue. Very cool.
Not carving pumpkins this year making some cool skulls thank you. One guestion, what is your base/ mold skull or where did you get it. Where can you get em. Also use local vendors too
Check the description,thanx 4 watching
Man I miss you guys hope all is well
I'm curious how much would you charge per skull??😊
Not sure, we usually make them 4 our haunted attraction. But am open to suggestions.
I like the discussion and demonstration of various techniques. The dark walnut stain looked best imo.
I hope it helped

Not sure about that .
Soooooo boring. Stop showing what you made and show how to make it. Thank god for fast forward.

I think you should too!! I love that it recycles the plastic jugs!!❤
An Easter Egg Hunt wall or door...along the same lines may work too or large Christmas Calendars too...with doors..kinda like a Shoji
Ok
