Creating a Frankenstein Handprint
1. Fold a sheet of lime green or neon green paper in half.
First, trace the handprint with the thumb positioned beside the paper’s folded edge.
Alternatively, coat the hand with green paint and press it onto white cardstock.
2. Cover the upper section of the handprint with black paint.
3. Cut a rectangular strip from black cardstock, then attach it to the handprint to form the eyebrows.
4. Stick the googly eyes above the black eyebrows.
5. Make 2 paper bolts. Draw one first, then trace it to create the second.
6. Use a black marker to add the stitches.
7. Use a black marker to draw the smile.

Dip the end of a paintbrush or pencil into the paint, then gently dab it onto the paper.
