(I bought this from Walmart for $8. I removed one tooth from the bottom and one from the top with a utility knife.:))


(I drilled a hole in the bottom and reserved the disk left over. I then cut out the bottom and silicone'd the disk where a light used to be. )


(Here's the reserved disk, compliments of my hole saw.)


(I filled in the openings with foam based clay then sealed them in with Mod Podge)


(The paint looks a bit odd right now as it's wet. The orange around the features will dry a lot lighter and blend once the whole outside has texture and the black will look smoother)


Please note, I understand that silicone can be toxic. The entire project will be sealed several times with Mod Poge. Also, every opening was sanded well with two different grit papers! LOL! Happy soon to be Halloween all!:D
