This is by far the biggest thing we&#8217;ve ever made. It was a great learning experience. Here&#8217;s how we did it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-26.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-26.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue made from paper mache, foam board, plastic table cloths, etc\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I used my fianc\u00e9e as a model for the witch! I had her pose with a broom and I took pictures from various sides to use for reference. <!--more--> I also had her hold a 24&#8243; ruler alongside the broom so I could use that to measure everything in Photoshop and calculate the size of the scaled-up giant witch.<\/p>\n <div class=\"ad-300x250 ad-float-right\">\r\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- MMS 300x250 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5009313124668288\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3616150394\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>I measured the height of our ceiling (8 feet) and brought the pictures into Photoshop so I could plan out the statue&#8217;s dimensions; I wanted it to fit right up against the ceiling. From there I could calculate the sizes of all the body parts, hat, broom, etc that I&#8217;d be building.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to build the statue onto the stand for our big patio umbrella, so I&#8217;d have a very stable base to build around. The umbrella base would get concealed by the fabric of the witch&#8217;s clothing (actually plastic table cloths) that we&#8217;d add later on.<\/p>\n<p>The witch statue would rest on four points \u2014 the legs, the broom, and the umbrella base. Now to build all the body parts&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Making the witch&#8217;s torso<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-01.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-01.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - cutting out the torso\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the torso, I cut out a few huge pieces of foam board to start; I designed these to work like layers, held apart at specific intervals. The first piece was basically a picture of the witch in profile from the neck down to the pelvis; in the above photo her back is toward the bottom of the pic, and the neck is to the right.<\/p>\n<p>Then I made two smaller pieces of the same shape, one for her left side and one for her right side. Then I cut out a couple smaller pieces for her shoulders and hips. You&#8217;ll see these in the next pic.<\/p>\n<p>I measured and cut out a lot of strips of foam board to turn into triangle-shaped supports; you can see these above. I taped &#8217;em in place on the first panel of foam board.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-02.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-02.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - building the body\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then I assembled the remaining panels, with more triangular supports between all of them. The shape of the witch&#8217;s torso started to come together. In the above pic her she&#8217;s laying on her right side; the big blob at the left is her left shoulder, and the blob at the right is her left hip.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-08.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-08.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - padding out the torso\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When these pieces were all assembled, I wrapped big sheets of newspaper onto them and taped them in place. This covers the blank spaces between the sheets of foam board and starts rounding out the shape. I wrapped lots of masking tape around the shape too, to secure the newspaper. I then wrapped the whole torso with bubble wrap; this smoothed out the shape even more, and then I added a lot more masking tape to hold everything in place. The finished shape was nice and padded out and a bit less angular.<\/p>\n<p>I inserted a metal mop handle into the pelvis of the witch and secured it with tons of shipping tape; this would go into the umbrella stand when it was time to assemble the whole statue.<\/p>\n<p>I rounded out the neck with the same techniques I used for the limbs \u2014 strips of foam board curved around, and then newspaper\/tape\/bubble wrap.<\/p>\n<h2>Making the witch&#8217;s arms and legs<\/h2>\n<p>I used the same basic materials and techniques to build out the shapes for the witch&#8217;s forearms, upper arms, thighs, and shins; eight separate pieces in all.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s use a forearm as an example. I started by drawing the forearm shape onto foam board and cutting it out. I kept the shape a bit skinnier than I wanted the finished forearm to be, because I&#8217;ll be padding it out with other materials.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-03.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-03.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - building the arms\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I cut out a second similar shape, sliced it in half down the middle, and then taped these pieces firmly onto the first shape at 90-degree angles using shipping tape.<\/p>\n<p>I then cut out lots of long 1.5&#8243; strips of foam board, rolled them up to give them a permanent curve, and then wrapped them along the length of the forearm base, attaching them here and there with tape and trimming them to size as I went. The foam board strips help round out the form of the arm.<\/p>\n<p>I then wrapped the forearm shape in a few big sheets of newspaper, loosely wrapped around and then taped tightly in place. This step helps smooth out the ridges that form of where the foam strips are.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-04.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-04.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - padding out the arms\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I then wrapped the forearm with long strips of bubble wrap, taped in place. To make these strips I took a 12&#8243; roll of bubble wrap and cut it down its length a few times to make 3&#8243; strips. I wrapped the strips onto the arm pretty tightly, being careful to slightly overlap the edges for even coverage. I secured the strips here and there with tape. The bubble wrap helps further smooth out and round out the shape.<\/p>\n<p>With all these layers of different materials you end up with a shape that&#8217;s nice and curved and relatively organic-looking. It sounds like a lot of work but it goes by pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p>I opted to skip the bubble wrap for the leg pieces, since they&#8217;ll be draped with (plastic) fabric later on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-18.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-18.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - building the limbs\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s everything for the limb segments before assembly. Here are all eight finished limb segments.<\/p>\n<h2>Making the witch&#8217;s hands<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-05.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-05.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - making the hands\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I built the witch&#8217;s hands starting with some little trapezoid-shape boxes I made out of pieces of foam board and lots of shipping tape. I used foam insulation tubing for the fingers; I split the tubes down the middle with an X-acto knife, so each finger is a half-tube taped in place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-09.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-09.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - paper mache hands\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I covered the hands all over with one layer of paper mach\u00e9, and then I added a million more layers (okay, maybe eight) on the top and bottom surfaces of the fists, because these parts will connect to the broom handle, so they&#8217;ll need to support a good amount of weight. You can read about my paper mach\u00e9 process and materials <a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/my-paper-mache-method\/\">here<\/a>. The short version is: I use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2LYmQsW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roman PRO-543 universal wallpaper adhesive<\/a> (paid link) and alternating layers of newspaper and brown wrapping paper.<\/p>\n<div class=\"am-item\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00FK8VNJE\/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;linkCode=li3&amp;tag=manningkrull-20&amp;linkId=c750f16dcb0f016ec23f35d64e1c3348&amp;language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B00FK8VNJE&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=manningkrull-20&amp;language=en_US\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=manningkrull-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;l=li3&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00FK8VNJE\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\"><\/div>\n<p>I made a sort of wrist bone out of several sheets of construction paper, rolled up tightly and secured with tape, and then inserted into the hands and locked in place with a bunch of Gorilla Glue. Adding these makes it way easier to connect the hands to the forearms, and the connection will be a lot stronger \u2014 important, because the wrists have to support the weight of the torso as it leans toward the hands and broom.<\/p>\n<h2>Making the witch&#8217;s feet<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-06.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-06.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - building the feet\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I built the witch&#8217;s feet with the same basic method as the limbs and torso: I started with some flat pieces of foam board taped together, then I padded them out with curved strips of foam board and lots of tape, and then I wrapped them with newspaper and more tape.<\/p>\n<p>I needed the feet to be able to support a lot of weight pushing down on them without getting crushed, so I added two triangular towers of foam board in the ankle, one on either side of the central piece of foam board.<\/p>\n<p>The above pics show the &#8220;front&#8221; foot; the shape of the back foot is a lot weirder because it&#8217;s positioned standing on its toe, but I made it pretty much the same way as the first one. In assembling the witch (coming up in part two) it turned out I didn&#8217;t need the back foot at all, since her back was facing the corner of the room, so I didn&#8217;t bother to attach it.<\/p>\n<h2>Making the witch&#8217;s head and hat<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-10.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-10.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - making the head with foam board\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I made the witch&#8217;s head on a base of foam board rolled into a tube. I built the nose out of some scraps of foam board and tape, and I used pieces of foam pipe insulation tubing to build up the eyebrow ridges and cheekbones. I left part of the tube shape sticking out on top; this is where the hat will get attached later.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-11.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-11.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - finishing the face with masking tape\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I built the witch&#8217;s lips and chin with more pieces of pipe insulation tubing, and then I covered the whole face in masking tape to smooth out the gaps between all these pieces.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-12.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-12.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - making the ears with foam board\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I made the witch&#8217;s ears out of two layers of foam board and some masking tape.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-13.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-13.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - applying paper mach\u00e9 to the head\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I applied one layer of paper mach\u00e9 over the whole face. I covered the ears with paper mach\u00e9 separately. When this was all dry, I cut off the extra foam board at the bottom of the witch&#8217;s head to give her a normal jawline. I taped over this area and covered it with more paper mach\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Not shown: I hot-glued the ears in place and then added more paper mache over the connection points. I also added two little teeth made out of foam board.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-14.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-14.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - spray painting the head\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I spray painted the witch&#8217;s head green. When that was dry, I added some shadows with black spray paint, and then I gave the whole head another light dusting of green to fade the shadows back a bit.<\/p>\n<p>I mixed up a lighter green color using acrylic paint: green, yellow, black, and white. I used a dry-brush technique to lightly brush this color all over the raised surfaces of the face.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, I should mention, I used these same steps to paint the hands.<\/p>\n<p>I added a little bit more detail to the witch&#8217;s face with black acrylic paint; eyebrows, nostrils, some shadows, etc.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-14-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-14-1.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - painting the face and hands\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the finished head, and one hand \u2014 the other hand is elsewhere, already glued to the broom handle; more on that coming up.<\/p>\n<p>After this, I realized I needed to spray paint the back and sides of the witch&#8217;s head black, to match the hair I&#8217;d be adding later.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I cut out the eye holes is because I wanted to put lights in there! I taped a folded-up piece of tracing paper behind the eyes, and taped a small magnet in the middle. I took two small batter-operated lights and taped them together and taped a magnet on them. Right before the party, I turned on these lights and inserted them through the mouth so they&#8217;d connect with the magnet inside. Worked like a charm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-16.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-16.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - cutting craft foam to make the witch's hair\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I made the witch&#8217;s hair out of a couple sheets of craft foam that I cut into thin, slightly wavy strips. I used the exact same technique for the bristles of her broom (coming up)! I taped these in place on a long strip of paper, and lightly spray painted them black to dirty them up a bit. I ended up making two strips like this, and I taped them in place along the top edge of the witch&#8217;s head.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-19.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-19.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - building the brim of the hat\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The witch&#8217;s hat was pretty easy! To make the brim, I taped two sheets of foam board together and cut out a big circle, with a hole in the middle for the witch&#8217;s head. I carefully curled up this foam board by hand to give the brim a nice curve.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-20.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-20.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - trying the hat on\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I popped this onto the witch&#8217;s head and then built up a cone shape with poster board (not shown); this took some trial and error to get the angles right.

I laid out four big sheets of newspaper and taped them together, and then I added a second layer of the same thing and taped that in place. I then carefully curled up this whole thing into a big floppy cone shape and held it up to the rest of the hat to figure out the size. I trimmed off a bunch of the paper with scissors until it was the right fit, and then I slipped the cone over the poster board tube and taped it in place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-23.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-23.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - painting the hat\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-22.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/giant-witch-statue-22.jpg\" alt=\"Giant witch statue - gluing the hat on\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I spray painted the hat black, let it dry, and then I used Gorilla Glue to permanently attach it onto the head.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for part one!
