Making Zombie Heads Using corpsing techniques, making zombie heads is easy, cheap, and fun! WARNING: Do NOT use this method if you have, or suspect that you have, a latex sensitivity/allergy. Use an alternate corpsing method (such as carpenter's glue/kleenex)instead. |
|
|
Gather your Materials To make the heads, you need a foam wig head, latex carpet glue, "skin" medium like tissues and used dryer sheets, and finishing touches, such as eyeballs and teeth. |
 |
| Prepare the Face I like to take an old kitchen knife and detail the face a bit before applying the skin. I'm not fussy about the cutting -- inconsistencies will only enhance the "undead" look! |
 |
|
Apply Glue Using an old brush, apply the latex carpet glue in a thick layer to a portion of the head. |
 |
|
Adding Skin Smoosh tissues or dryer sheets into the glue. Brush more glue on top. Continue in layers until the head is covered. Place in the sun to dry (about 4-5 hours). |
 |
|
Painting When dry, add paint. Be creative! Since I don't have an airbrush, I layer coats of different colored spray paint. This head has red, brown, black, and green paint. |
 |
|
Add Facial Features I use hot glue to attach the eyes and teeth. The eyeballs were picked up at a local novelty store for 3.50. The teeth are a set of kiddie vampire fangs I got after Halloween last year for ten cents a pair. I cut them apart and use them for prop teeth. |
 |
|
Taaa-daah! Here he is - a face only a mother could love. I may go back and add some hair later. He could probably use a little more paint detail as well. I plan to stake him and put him out in the yard with the rest of the undead, but this could easily be used for a static prop head as well. |
