Recently Nate's tiki guy broke. Needless to say, he was really disappointed. So I made him a new one.
This is basically what Nate's original tiki mug looked like |
So you want to make your own tiki man mug? Okay!
1. Cut out light brown things from magazines. It's nice to have things that aren't just one flat color because it creates depth.
2. Cut your light brown magazine scraps into shapes that resemble the tiki man's features. Use lighter colors for the features that would stick out the most on a real tiki man.
3. Use the remaining brown papers to cover three sides of a glass jar. Adhere using Mod Podge or glue.
4. Arrange the shapes you cut out into a tiki man shape on the uncovered side of the jar. Adhere using Mod Podge or glue.
5. Brush over the whole thing with Mod Podge or glue.
6. Draw in some details and shadows with black and brown fine point Sharpies.
I did some details with dark brown paper and some with a brown fine-point sharpie. |
The backs of the magazine clippings can be seen inside the jar. |
