You will have to mix multiple batches of the oogoo and you want them to all be similar in color so the second picture is shown to give you a tip on coloring the oogoo. Mix brown oogoo and use it to form the tentacles and to cover the edges of the book covers. The instructions for this step are simple but it will take a while. If you get some silicone on the teeth remove it immediately. When the tongue is completely dry, use scissors or a craft knife to cut it to shape.

Use some red Oogoo between the plastic sheets to form the tongue, using a tool or toothpick to make a line down the middle of the tongue. When both sets of teeth are done and dry enough, mix more red Oogoo in a faster drying mix and use it to apply the teeth to the book, completing the gums.Ĭut a ziplock bag into 2 separate sheets of plastic. Mix red Oogoo in a wet, slow-drying mix and carefully apply to the teeth to cover the gums. Wrap the text block of the book with Press N Seal to protect it while working on the covers. Please read the instructable on working with Oogoo from Mikey77 since it gives a lot of great information. If you have to do it inside, make sure to have really good ventilation. The fumes from the silicone are nasty and you will be using a lot of it, so it is best to do it outside. Now it's time to move outside to work with the silicone caulk. Silicone/plastic mats or other nonstick surface for working with silicone caulk (it sticks to everything!) Plastic or paper cups, popsicle sticks, toothpicks Gloss sealer for clay (I used Flecto Diamond Varathane Gloss)Ģ large rabbit skins or suitable substituteĬlear Silicone Caulk, 1 tube and caulk gunĪrtist Oil Paint - Brown, white, red (I bought a cheap set at Walmart) I also use it for the gums.Ī large textbook, mine measures 8' x 10.5'Ĭlay to make the teeth (white) and eyes (black) - I used polymer clay but air dry will work too.Īcrylic craft paint - brown, antique gold Since it dries to a rubbery consistency, it is great for the tentacles and tongue.
