Creepy Eyes Prank

Creepy Eyes Prank
Make some creepy eyes to put on an unsuspecting sleeping person.

. . . Also great for wearing yourself, so you can sleep virtually undetected during meetings, church services, boring dates, job interviews, funerals, weddings, and so forth.

This is an easy, quick project. If you make some creepy eyes for yourself, take a photo and post it in the comments. I'll give you an awesome patch!

Step 1Get some cheap ping pong balls

Get some cheap ping pong balls
You will need some cheap ping pong balls, preferably ones without any markings or writing on them.

I used one ping pong ball to create each eyeball.

You can see in the second photo that the completed half-balls have a little lip left over from where the opposite half was glued in. This overlapping seam serves as a guide to help you while cutting the ball in half, and also keeps the completed half-balls rigid.

While my friend was asleep, I drugged him and ripped out his eyeballs and replaced them with these! He was SO mad. It was HILARIOUS. He got me back good though, hired the mafia to castrate me. So i killed his family, the look on his face was HILARIOUS.

coat them with 'shine' (non-toxic), make the edges 'soft', and only paint the iris and pupil....then put them under my eyelids

"Examine your ping pong balls to see which half is glued into the other half. This is the half you want to cut off."

Isn't *each* half glued to the other half? I'm not clear on what you mean here.
Aug 25, 2011. 8:51 PMmothman0 says:
I think he means that you want to cut off the half that is glued to the inside of the other half... ie. the "male" half, leaving the "female" half intact.
Aug 26, 2011. 12:07 AMfacegarden says:
ohh... I see. I read "into" as "to".

When I was in college more than 50 years ago I put holes for pupils and added bloodshot veins around the irises. I could walk around campus wearing my glasses as usual and see where I was going while freaking out my friends.

I did the same thing, but in High School. I remember one shopping trip in Sears with my mother and a friend. I would hide inside a rack of clothes and wait for some unsuspecting shopper to move the clothing aside. :) Ahhh, the good old days. For some reason, my mom remembers this also. 30+ years later.

You can scrape the writings/markings off a ping pong ball with a little patience and an X-acto knife.

I like the 'sunglasses tan line' on the chap in the photo, I thought the eyes were on a pair of glasses to start with :D

Also, same concept works really well for costumes from The Simpsons!
Aug 25, 2011. 8:04 AMalcurb says:
Fun project. Thanks.
.
Add a little glossy clear-coating to the white and iris parts, masking out the eyelids, and the eyes would look even more realistic. The white dot wouldn't be necessary.
.
Did you draw the iris circle with pencil before applying the paint? I don't know if I can paint the iris so perfectly. Howdjadoit?
