Make Your Own Models

Have you ever been so bored that you just wanted to take parts of used bodies to create your very own Frankenstein Monster? Well, you're not alone. In fact, just today we took parts of people's faces, cut them out, and taped them back together in a fashion of our choosing. But rest assured these people are still alive....

"How is that possible?!" you may ask. Our reply would be, "Why, we cut them out of magazines, silly!"

That's right. We took parts of faces (i.e. eyes, noses, and mouths) and put them together again to make our own models. No we didn't defile any graves or steal people's faces in the middle of the night while they were sleeping. Nope! It was good, clean, enjoyable fun. We even renamed them as well!

So now that all is in order. Let's show you what we came up with and maybe you can decide what parts you want to make your own model Frankenstein Monster.

Actually, now that we think about it, they weren't very scary... just funny lookin' is all. They definitely wouldn't be accepted by the Hollywood community.

Go ahead and try this at home when there's nothing to do. All you need is:
Some old magazines (Check with your parents and other family members in your household)
Scissors
Tape or Glue Sticks
Construction paper (regular printer paper works fine but we enjoy the color choice and durability of construction paper)
Writing Utensil
Stickers (optional)
Imagination ( !!! NECESSARY !!! )

As you can see, we simply found faces that were relatively the same size and cut out (in strips) their eyes, noses, and mouths (including the chin for a full face effect... hm, maybe we should have kept the foreheads...) Then we rolled tape and placed it on the back so there wouldn't be any interference with the final picture. And finally, we stuck the faces to some construction paper, wrote all over it, and made a couple of magazines. You can decorate it anyway you want, even add stickers for some extra glitz and glam.

If you want to take it to the next level, add more pages and columns and "advertisements" and interviews... The list goes on. There's really no limit when activity is low and boredom is high. If you truly want to entertain yourself, you'll find a way.
