How to Make Glue Monsters!

Following up my last instructable, "How To Make Glue Bugs", this sequel shows how to expand the scope and size of glue critters.  Basically the same tools are used, it's just a matter of scale and a few parts that are different, the wings for example.  I was able to obtain exposed x-ray film to use for black wings, or even paint them for other colored wings as shown.  Several different 'monsters' are shown, and techniques suggested.

This may be helpful, but I just had a vision of what I wanted, and took off.  

Here, use the large glue gun and big glue stick!   I made the body by covering a  small glass bottle  with glue and allowing it to harden in place.  I was able to obtain these small bottles from the workplace (hospital lab), and have used them in several projects. 

Notice how the wings are cut.  To make them symmetrical, draw the shape you want on a folded over piece of cardstock, or in the case of the plastic or x-ray film, cut two shapes out at once.

Bodies and details are painted with colors of your choice. I liked the black guy, and used various colors for the other creatures.

I bought a bag of varying size eyes from the craft store, and simply glued them into place with the small glue gun.

The great black beast is mounted on a nail, heated and inserted into it's underbelly. Then the nail can be pushed into a piece of styrofoam which has been painted to resemble a rock formation.

Let your imagination go, and create all kinds of "monsters!".
