Are you going to go on Halloween? Are you a fan of the horror movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and plan to wear a protagonist costume for the party? Then this article is for you. The main attribute of the costume is Freddy Krueger's glove, you can buy it or make it yourself. The article will talk about several manufacturing options.
First option
To make this accessory, you need to prepare:
- leather glove (it doesn’t matter, left or right);
- wire with a diameter of five millimeters and a length of one hundred centimeters;
- Scotch;
- adhesive plaster;
- satin ribbon;
- glue;
- file;
- acrylic paint to match the gloves;
- your skillful pens.
How to make a glove of Freddy Krueger
Take the wire and cut into five pieces. Each segment should be fifteen centimeters long. Sharpen the end of the wire with a file. But do not get carried away. The manufactured accessory should make a frightening impression, and not be a dangerous weapon. Then bend the opposite end of the wire according to the length of the finger.
Take the glove and put on. Attach a piece of wire to your finger (to the back of your hand). Wrap with adhesive tape or tape soaked in glue from the tip of your finger to the base. You can attach the claws in a different way. To do this, make holes on the end of each finger of the glove that are equal to the diameter of the wire. Fasten the wire to the fingers with adhesive tape or tape. And gently put on the glove, sticking its claws into the holes. Do the same with the other fingers.
Take the paint and paint the fingers wrapped in tape. But do not paint the wire, as it may oxidize and rust. It is possible to protect the claws with steel paint for protection. The mobility of the hand in such gloves is limited. The fingers are bent. If you want the arm to be more mobile, then attach the claws to the middle, and better to the upper phalanx. But reduce the length of the wire, otherwise it will stick poorly.
This is what Freddy Krueger’s glove was made with his own hands. To add color to the product, you can attach a red thread to the tip of the claw. When working, be careful not to cut yourself.
The second manufacturing option of the main attribute of Freddy Krueger
For this you will need: a leather glove, adhesive tape, foil, cardboard and paint. Take the cardboard and cut four rectangles out of it. The width of each should be four centimeters, and the length - no more than ten. Then fold the rectangles in half. Trim the tips so that you get a claw. Tape the cardboard with foil. Attach the finished “blades” to the leather glove. To do this, use tape. To make it work correctly, attach the nails to the already worn glove. Next, paint the tape to match the accessory. You can use a band-aid, it is easier to color. As everything dries, Freddy Krueger's glove is ready!
Third Manufacturing Option
Glove claws can be made from ordinary office paper. This is pretty simple.
Assembly Scheme:
- Take a square piece of paper. Fold it in half diagonally. Reverse the fold.
- Turn the sheet forty-five degrees and lay in front of you.
- Bend both corners to the middle (according to the drawing).
- Fold the blank in half. It should make a triangle.
- On the long side of the craft, mark the middle and bend the bottom of the part.
- The bottom part is as if wrapping the workpiece.
- Do this twice.
- Feed the tip of the paper.
- Spread the resulting claw so that you can put it on your finger.
Paint each claw with silver paint. Then make holes in the glove. Put it gently on top of the claws. This is the result of Freddy Krueger's glove. The drawing can be seen above.
As you can see, gloves can be useful not only in the cold season, you can use them to create a frightening attribute for a carnival costume.
Addition to the image
So, how the Freddy Krueger glove is made has been discussed above. Now you need to complete the image of the hero-villain. To do this, you need to find in old things:
- two shabby T-shirts in black and burgundy;
- the hat best eaten by the moth.
Next, we proceed to an interesting and creative work.
Image completion
Take a pair of scissors and a t-shirt. Carefully cut wide strips from it, but leave the side seams to hold the shirt. When the product is ready, put on a t-shirt over the whole t-shirt. It should be a striped jacket.
For a more frightening effect, apply makeup. Take the foundation. Squeeze it into a bowl, add thick gouache to it of the color you need. Stir thoroughly and let the mixture dry. Then dilute it with vegetable oil to the required density. Apply makeup in a thick layer. Make appropriate bumps on the face. Apply make-up powder or talcum powder over the makeup.
Wear a hat, a striped T-shirt, and a claw glove.
We hope that the above-mentioned do-it-yourself glove manufacturing options will help you create an inimitable image of Freddy Krueger for celebrating Halloween, and you will not go unnoticed at the party!
