halloween creepy
This easy and very inexpensive project can be made in less than two hours[phpbay] The pair I made cost $1 for the cheapest black knit gloves, and almost nothing for white paint and glue sticks I already had on hand, and you may have, too[phpbay] The sticks I picked up in my back yard, and I assure you, they are very ordinary sticks[phpbay]
Supplies:
1 pair inexpensive black knit gloves[phpbay]
sticks about 1/4" - ½" wide, preferably ones with knobs and irregularities
a low-temp hot glue gun and glue sticks
white acrylic or latex paint
Pick up a few sticks outdoors with a knobby boney look to them[phpbay] Break them in lengths similar to the bones in your hands[phpbay] You will need at least eight sticks about 3" long, ten about 2" long for the fingertips, and twelve about 1" long[phpbay] The sticks that will be used for the fingertips are made a little longer to give an eerie feel and the last two joints of the fingers are treated together for simplifying the project[phpbay] Measurements are approximate[phpbay] If you make extra stick sections you can pick and choose for length, diameter, and look, as you build your boney gloves[phpbay]
In a plastic disposable container put in about one part white paint for about four parts water[phpbay] Mix to a runny consistency[phpbay] Add your "bones" and stir[phpbay] Once coated, pull them out and lay them on a cleanable surface to dry[phpbay] Newspapers do not work well for this for the bones will stick to the paper as they dry[phpbay] A grill, cooling rack or even laminate table might work better[phpbay] Roll the bones after half an hour to let them dry on the other side[phpbay]
Once the bones are dry, begin by hot gluing the eight longest sticks (about 3" long) to the back of each glove, positioning each stick to lie over a real bone on the back of the hand[phpbay] Hot glue in place[phpbay] Select two 2" bones for the lowest part of the thumb and glue in place[phpbay] Finish the thumbs by hot gluing two 1" bones over each joint in the thumbs[phpbay] Next select 1" sticks to hot glue to the lowest part of the glove fingers where the fingers join together[phpbay] Lastly select 2" lengths again for the fingertips[phpbay] These last eight pieces you should only hot glue to the middle section of the fingers[phpbay] This allows the person wearing the gloves to bend their fingers and get the eerie fingertips out of the way[phpbay]
Your gloves are done now[phpbay] They can be worn with black clothes and a mask or a skeleton costume[phpbay] You also might try something different like wearing ordinary clothes with a fake knife and blood coming out of the heart[phpbay]
