Life-Size DIY Mayor (of Halloween Town) Prop

NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Cost: Aprox. $25

ASSEMBLY:

The second character I made was the Mayor. The body and clothing were constructed the same way as Jack's (see:Jack Skellington Post). I counted the top of his tall hat as his max height and cut the PVC pipe accordingly. The head is made from a large white poster board purchased at the local grocery store. I rolled it into a cone shape (small on one end, and wide on the other). I drew on the mayors face with pencil, and then painted it with acrylic paints. I measured and cut a cardboard ring for the brim of the mayors hat, I slid it down around his forehead, then I measured and cut a cardboard circle and placed it at the very top of the PVC pipe (his max height), then connected the two cardboard pieces with a tube of black material and hot glue to form his tall hat.

SPIDER TIE, MAYOR BADGE, BULL HORN & HANDS:

The spider tie and mayor badge are made out of cardboard and painted with acrylic paints.
The bull horn is made out of black poster board rolled into a cone and painted with silver acrylic paint.
The Mayor's hands are made out of plastic doctors gloves, stuffed with news paper, and painted with acrylic paint to match his skin.

 He currently only has one, of his two faces, I plan to add his sad, creepy face to the other side soon !
