This week: SQUIRREL ZOMBIE BONES

Week_40_1_web

Caution! Undead Squirrel Zombie Bones may, or may not, start walking around on Halloween looking for some brains to gnaw on.  I used real chicken bones. But, I’ve also included instructions for Vegan Squirrel Zombie Bones. Vegan Squirrel Zombies eat “grains.”

Vegan Squirrel Zombie Bones Instructions:

FIG. 1 Clip twigs into 1”– 3” sections. Try to get sections with branches starting at both ends.

FIG. 2 Sand the ends smooth, and flatten them a little.

FIG. 3 Sometimes the bark falls off. It’s OK either way.

FIG. 4 Paint with white acrylic or latex paint. Rub off spots with a paper towel.

*To prepare bones: make chicken soup, pick out the thigh, wing, and wishbones. Scrub the gack off of the bones with a green scouring pad and dish soap, let them dry in the sun for a day.

FIG. 2 Paint the bones with two coats of glow-in-the-dark paint. (You can blow-dry them between coats.)

FIG. 3 Spray paint the outside of the box.

FIG. 4 Cut out the artwork. Glue the cover on the box.
