I am always up for paint drying quickly, nothing worse than having to wait until the next day to finish.

And to make sure the candle didn’t fall over, I hammered a small nail in the center of the lid first.

Lay a small amount of bright pink roving over the eye socket, use your finger to push the centre of the wool to the back of the socket and fold in the edges and use the pink tool to stab into position. But I believe that they get some of their stuff from Health Care technologies, which is based in Cape Town.

While the glue is still tacky, brush on the white Acrylic paint, avoiding the eye sockets and nose area. Lay out some wool roving across your needle-felting pad (in one direction and not too thick), layer more roving across the top at 90 degrees. Since the skull is polystyrene (Styrofoam) we need to add a protective barrier between the candle and the actual skull. The best thing I could come up with was to use one of those metal pop-off tops you find on soda bottles.

Since we use silicone to make our molds, it gives you the ability to produce skulls and bones with a more realistic, detailed look due to the possibility of deeper undercuts. I only just came into contact with Nightmare Makers two years ago at Transworld Haunted Attractions Show. We’re two IT geeks who love making things and if we can upcycle something at the same time, then we’re super happy. Use the black yarn to outline the shape of the nose, so that it looks like an elongated upside down heart. Place the large flower over the centre-top of the skull and use the Clover tool to stab it in place securely.

We specialize in silicone skull molds to produce a high volume (average of 60 casts depending on material) of lifesize skulls yourself. A Crafty Mix uses cookies so that we can provide you with the best possible user experience possible. I made about 35 skulls with a mold that I purchased from this company, and used them for my Halloween display.Aside from lifesize molds we offer small and mini skull molds, which are perfect for crafting, costuming and more. The bottom teeth are easier because you’ll already have the shape and width of the top row to use as a guide. We now have lifesize flatback femur and femur bonetip molds available to create your own ossuary catacombs walls. Starting from the corner of the mouth use the yarn to draw ten semi-circles, keeping them approximately the same width but getting slightly longer as you reach the two front teeth.
