Step 1 | Make a pencil mark
down the center of the plaster
skull and used a simple handsaw to slowly saw the skull in
half.
What you´ll need:
Step 3 | Take poplar board and
cut the board into two pieces
that are 9 1/2 inches long.
• A plaster skull,
• A 3 ½ inch wide poplar
board (only wood will do),
• A saw,
• A pencil,
• Strong glue,
• Painters tape,
• Acrylic gloss and
• White paint.
Step 2 | Once the skull is separated into two halves, use
a clear gloss sealer to seal
the outside of the plaster and
follow it up with a white gloss
spray paint to give it some
shine.
Step 4 | Paint those boards
white with an acrylic gloss paint
and glue each skull half onto a
board with a strong glue.
Step 5 | Use painter’s tape and
heavy items on either side of
the bookends to hold them
upright while drying.
