Here’s what you need to make a Dollar Tree Frankenstein
Here’s how to create a Dollar Tree Mummy
STEP ONE
Gather all supplies. To create Frankenstein and the Mummy, line up five jumbo craft sticks for each, on your work surface. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of Frankenstein and the Mummy and attach them with a glue gun and glue sticks. The Dollar Tree craft section is perfect for finding good quality arts and crafts supplies to get creative with the kiddos!
TIP: You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
STEP TWO
Basecoat the craft stick Mummy with Bleached Sand acrylic craft paint. Basecoat the craft stick Frankenstein with Foliage Green acrylic craft paint. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary. I love Americana Acrylics from DecoArt because they have one-coat coverage on most surfaces.
STEP THREE
Snip four to six small slits approximately 1” in width along the muslin fabric, then rip the strips apart with your hands. Pull additional threads from the edges to create that frayed look.
Attach two wiggle eyes to the Mummy with a glue gun and glue sticks. Secure the muslin to the back of the craft stick Mummy and then wrap around in a random manner, overlapping the wiggle eyes slightly.
Glue the end in place (whether on the front or back) and attach the next muslin strip and continue to fold and wrap until the entire craft stick Mummy is covered.
TIP: If you don’t have muslin fabric on hand use rolled gauze bandaging or strips of cheesecloth, both available at the Dollar Store.
STEP FOUR
Download, print, and cut out the CRAFT STICK FRANKENSTEIN PATTERNS from the bottom of this post. Trace the hair and eyebrow onto black craft foam with a pencil. Cut out with scissors. Attach Frankenstein’s hair to the top with a glue gun and glue sticks. Secure two wiggle eyes under the hair, and then glue on the eyebrow, slightly overlapping the wiggle eyes.
STEP FIVE
Measure and cut one regular craft stick into two sections 3” long each. Measure and cut a second regular craft stick into two sections 1” long each. Attach the 1” pieces at the end of the 3” pieces to create Frankenstein’s bolts. Basecoat the bolts with light grey acrylic craft paint. Use silver acrylic craft paint if you have it in your stash.
Attach the bolts to the right and left sides of Frankenstein’s neck with a glue gun and glue sticks. Add Frankenstein’s nose, scars, and mouth with a permanent black marker. I love drawing and tracing with the MONO Twin Permanent Marker from Tombow because it has a large bullet tip and a small extra fine tip.
STEP SIX
Paint one jumbo craft stick with green acrylic craft paint. From the rounded ends, cut two sections that are 2” long each. Attach with a glue gun and glue sticks to the right and left back of Frankenstein’s head to create his ears.
