Animated Bloody Decapitated Doll
Halloween projects can be challenging and fun to work on. For this Instructable, I decided I was going to try to create a decapitated bloody doll from a Christmas animated angel doll. I wasn't sure how it would work out. Could we get the head off? How could she hold on to her head? Could she somehow hold a bloody knife? I just started creating and here is the result!
Supplies
Animated Christmas Doll with velcro wings removed
newspaper
small bowl of water
acrylic paints - assorted reds and black
paint brush
small pourable measuring cup
Phillip's screwdriver
small thin rubber band
small knife
Remove Her Head!
When her hair is pulled up, there is a screw at the back of her head. Remove the screw with the Phillip's screwdriver, then use the screwdriver to pry her head off!!
Placing the Head
The doll holds a light up candle. That will be the perfect place to put her head. With her head placed over and onto the candle, it looks like she is holding her head. We tried plugging her in and decided we liked the way it looked better without the candle bulb so we removed it. Here you can see how she looked with the bulb lighting her head and with the bulb removed.
Mix the Paint
In the small measuring cup, add some of the dark red paint. Add a little black paint and stir. Add bright red to make it less dark, if desired. You can thin the acrylic paint with a little water so it is just thin enough to pour.
Be Brave!!!! Spill That Blood!
Using the measuring cup containing the "blood", pour a little over her neckline, her fingers and her dress.
Make the Knife Bloody
Pour a little bloody paint onto the tip of the knife. Spread it just a little, then allow it to dry completely. Wind the rubber band on the knife where her hand will hold it.
Add the Knife to Her Hand
Use the rubber band to attach and position the knife in her hand.
Looks Great!
I think it came out pretty cool........and very creepy!!!!!! Hey!!!! It's for Halloween!!!
Find a Great Spot to Show Off Your Work!
I really had fun doing this project! The animated doll came out very creepy and perfect for Halloween! I think the neighborhood kids are really going to enjoy seeing it when I give out candy, and I will look forward to using it for many more Halloweens!
