Our model today is GI Joe, Ma found him in a box at a yard sale marked 'free'.
And while he probably should be wearing a shirt... I, um, don't think anyone is going to tell him that😉
The $1 skeleton I started with:
Directions:
Pull the head off and cut off the loop on top.
This plastic is thin enough that you can cut it with scissors, but shears are a better choice if you have them.
Insert scissors/shears into the hole and begin to cut the back of the head out.
You'll only want to go 3/4 of the way up to the top (leave enough to hold on the doll's head like a hat).
Then cut down to the back of the chin, leave the jaw intact.
We're aiming for a simple mask that slips over the doll's head.
Done!
The skeleton is too big to use the arms and hands for a costume,
but if you cut the hands off right above the wrist, you can make gloves pretty easily😊
I used the shears to cut the seam open around the hands and separate them. You can have two sets of gloves.
Hot glue a little elastic to both so they slip over and stay on the doll's hands.
Done!
If you'd like to make a mask for the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos),
Make something just for fun and have a happy day💀
