Beetlejuice is another favorite of mine and I know
many love this movie. You could do multiples of these
and place them around your house.
DIY Beetlejuice Potted Sand Worm
What you will need:
A plastic pot (doesn't need to be large)
Hot glue gun & sticks
Fake moss
At least 3 squares of white sculpey polymer clay,
you need one for each tentacle. If you are doing more
accounting for each pot you are doing.
White paint
Black paint
Painting accessories: brush, palettle, cup of water and a surface protector
Piece of cardboard bigger than the opening of you pot
Something to cut with (scissors or an x-acto blade)
Step one:
Sculpt each block of clay into a tentacle, remember you need
3 for each pot. If you have never used this type of clay
it may be a little rough to work with at first, keep playing with it.
Roll the clay between your hands and stretch it out and make
it look like a snake. Keep working till you get it as close
to the picture shown.
When you are done making them you want to bake them at
275 degrees for 15 minutes for every 1/4" thickness.
The directions I got this post from said she baked hers
for about an hour and 15 minutes.
Step two:
While you are waiting for your clay to bake you can work on the pot.
Place your cardboard piece on a flat surface and flip your
pot upside down on top of it. Trace the diameter of the
opening of the pot on the cardboard with a pencil, then
using that traced circle as your reference cut at least 1"
into the center of that circle so that the circle you are
cutting out is smaller than the diameter of your pot.
You will hot glue the edges of the cardboard circle and
place it down into the opening of the pot to make a base.
Step three:
Once your clay has baked and cooled down, coat the
tentacles with a bright white paint. You may need a few coats.
As soon as the white is dry you can begin painting bands
around the tentacles with black paint.
Step four:
Now that your tentacles are dried you can hot glue them in
whatever position you want to the cardboard base in your pot.
Start filling the vase with fake moss, gluing it down with
your hot glue gun. You want some of the moss covering
the base of the tentacles enough to give the illusion that
they are coming out of the moss.
