NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS MAYOR
The second Character I made was the Mayor. Here is a tutorial of how I made him.
**Update: I have done some updates to the Mayor to make him more accurate, I will post the updated pictures here soon**
Cost: Aprox. $25
Supplies Needed:
PVC
Material
Hot glue
Cardboard
Acrylic paints
Foam pipe insulation/99cent pool noodles
Screws
Drill
Needle and thread
I measured and cut the PVC pipe accordingly (exact measurements to come...)
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 want to make a new rotating head carved out of foam .
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 (top of his hat), 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: His hands are made using the same technique as Sally (just a larger version)
He currently only has one, of his two faces, I plan to add his sad, creepy face to the other side !
very nice! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie,
DeleteThe mayor was one of the first characters I made. Looking back on him now there are things I would like to change. Thats why I have not posted any more details about him. When I update him, I can post better instructions and measurments. Thank you so much for your comments.
