Freaky Frank
Supplies:
- 1 small rectangular paper maché box
- 2 (10mm) wiggle eyes
- 2 (1 1/2”x5/8”) wooden spools
- ¼” wooden button (for the nose)
- Acrylic paint: Gleams-Metallic Silver, Cinnamon,
Jubilee Green, Tompte Red, Black, White,
Lime Green, & Purple
- Brushes: #1 liner brush, #10 flat brush,
#3 round brush and #6 or #8 flat (old is best)
Instructions:
- Base coat the paper maché box Jubilee Green. Once dry, paint on another coat of the same color. Let dry.
- Dip a dry brush (#6 or #8) into Lime Green paint. Work off MOST of the excess paint. Now make crisscross (X) marks all over the box.
- Using a dry brush, paint Tompte Red & Cinnamon cheeks. This method works best if the brush moves in a circular motion, beginning in the center and working its way out.
- Use a #3 round brush and Black paint to paint Frank’s hair. Make uneven/scraggly strokes. Start painting at the top and work downward. Add some funky highlights by repeating this step with Purple. Note: The hair should go all the way around the box.
- Paint 2 wooden spools silver and glue one to either side of the box. Refer to Fig. 1 for embellishments
- Glue on wiggle eyes.
