Halloween decor werewolf head

Step 5 Paint your wolf!

Materials needed:

( optional) liquid plastic ( resin) ----please read safety instructions for this material and FOLLOW THEM

Acrylic paint

Okay so once he's all baked and cooled off, you can apply a coat of plastic resin to make sure everything is sealed and will stay in place. I use a 1:1 plastic. Mix it and brush it all over the form. You don't have to do it, but i did just to make sure everything stayed in place.

Once that sets up, start painting your wolf with acrylic paint. Don't sweat the body so much as you will just be covering it in fur. The teeth on mine are not that stark white...the flash really blows the details out, sorry.

You can also use acrylic sealer (ex: Walmart has it next to their paints and canvas). It comes in a ready-to-use spray can unlike resin (which you have to mix with a catalyst) and a few light coats should do it. I use it on the beaks for my gryphon costumes and it protects paint from scratches and flaking very well.
