How to make a (fake) wooden leg

Step 7Clean up, Wear it, Have Fun!

It's important to not let the paint dry in the graining tool, and while you are cleaning that, you might as well clean the paintbrush that you used to spread the paint. The plastic piece? That's up to you, clean it off, or keep it as fake wood.

Remember, this only makes a wooden leg - what about your foot? Here's where a little creativity and imagination come to play. I have some dark green material that I'm going to cut into strips and tape/glue to my shoes to look like I've stepped in seaweed. Or you could turn your foot into a giant clam/fish/shark, or even make a wooden foot out of an old shoe. Just paint it the same colour as the shirt and use the same technique...though you might have to paint some by hand to continue the wooden pattern...

Have fun and a safe and happy Halloween!
