Carnivorous Plant

In this video we create a fun carnivorous plant sculpture for Halloween using simple construction techniques.

Step 1

Paint 2 Poly half balls using Creamy Colours paints and leave to dry.

Step 2

Trace 2 circle shapes using a half ball as a template. Draw triangular teeth around the circumference and then cut out both shapes.

Step 3

Paint the inside of each circle red with the creamy colours and leave to dry.

Step 4

Use a black marker to draw a tongue.

Step 5

Glue the Mouth and teeth pieces onto the flat sides of your half circles and leave to dry.

Step 6

Cut 2 long leaf shapes out of green card and poke a small hole near the end of each leaf.

Step 7

Poke a satay stick through the back edges of each half ball to create the open mouthed plant head./p>

Step 8

Wrap green Chenille stems around the satay stick threading your leaves on as you near the end of the stick.

Step 9

Position your carnivorous plant in an existing pot or garden bed for display and give everyone a scare!
