This is an Audrey II I made for Halloween this year. It was a very long process and my biggest project yet. It cost between 30-50 dollars, I don't remember the price, but the ending piece was amazing. I built the base out of foam insulation board. Here's what you will need:
About 4 sheets of insulation board
Armature Wire
3" Inch PVC Pipe (found some at Home Depot)
2 3" PVC Pipe Toliet Flanges (Also found these at Home Depot
A large Plastic Flower Pot ( Also found a big one for cheap at Home Depot)
Rocks (or something strong to place into the pot to keep it from wobbling)
Green Fabric (or whatever color you want your leaves)
Blue Fabric (or whatever color you want your gums)
Red Fabric (or what ever color you want your tongue and lips)
Purple Fabric (or what ever color you want the inside of the mouth)
Paint or Fabric (This is for the plants outer color)
Paint
Toothpicks
Stuffing

Signing UpStep 1Making the Head: The Top
This is probably the hardest part in the whole project. I first carved out each layer of the top of the head. Then after that was done, I cut each layer diagonally so that when I put it together, it was the shape of half of a circle. I tried attaching it with spray glue, but i didn't stick, so I used cawk instead. For the back of the head I basically did the same thing, and then attached everything with cawk.

I need to make one for a performance and my teacher refuses to use anything fabric. I'm thinking of covering the insulation board with duct-tape then a few layers of latex and cotton balls for a more plan-like look. How well will the hinges hold up with extra weight and is it possible to cover it in duct tape? Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
