Bucket Head Monster Our goal is to create a monster head out of a simple five gallon plastic pail. The tools and materials you will need are: A 5 gallon bucket. A permanent marker. A jig saw. A heat gun or propane torch. Craft paper (a wallpaper scrap will do). A pair of scissors. Two #8-32 X 3/4" bolts and nuts. High strength fishing line. |

Start
by measuring the diameter and height of your pail. Cut a piece of the craft
paper so that it wraps all the way around the pail. Cut the paper in half
lengthwise and fold the two pieces at their center. Tape them back together
with the folded side out and trace your monster head as shown in this picture.
Once your pattern is drawn, cut the shape out with scissors. This will make
the templates for the head and lower jaw. Tape the templates onto the pail
and outline with the permanent marker. |

Using the jig saw, cut the pail along the template lines. You should end
up with two pieces similar to what you see in this picture. The style and
pattern you make your monster is totally up to you. I suggest you experiment
with this and have fun designing it. |
