This instructable shows you how to make a simple voodoo doll for halloween decorations. It could also be used for magic TRICKS (for halloween themed magic performance) , stress relief(shoot it, punch it, stab it take your anger out on it) , or whatever you wish to use it for. THIS IS NOT a real voodoo doll, so don't expect to be able to kill/hurt anyone with this (Duh! That what guns, and knives are for!)

What you will need is ....

2 Sticks ,around six inches. You can use pencils, wooden rods, BUT twigs and branches look the best. (In this case, I'm using pencils.)

Decorative moss. You can purchase these at garden and flower shops, or try looking at the garden center at "Lowes" or "Homedepot" near where the orchids and indoor plants are. You can also find this in crafts stores such as "The Ragshop".

Twine or yarn, but I prefer to use twine for it's natural looking color.

Cloth, you can use any kind of cloth, in this case, I'm using cloth from an old book sock.

This COULD be a voodoo doll, there are just a few things you need to change. Add a lock of hair from the person you want to inflict, and write their name on a piece of consecrated paper, with a consecrated pen and bind it to the 'skeleton' of the doll while focusing on the victim.

today i discovered how a steel pipe that a 12 gauge shotgun shell fits into can be useful in shooting primers with an endcap with a hole drilled in it with a bolt sticking through.

Yea, I made shotguns from 3/4" plumbing pipes a few years ago. I just reamed out the lip of the pipe. This year, I discovered a way to make homemade shotgun shells for some of my homemade shotguns in which the firing pin is slightly different.

with c02 cartrige shells?
IlluminatedAntichrist (author) in reply to LoveofchaosNov 12, 2007. 6:30 PM
Co2 Cartige shells would work as well, but I used "Sharpie" permanent markers.

Might as well ask but-- What is a Zip?
IlluminatedAntichrist (author) in reply to JuklopNov 5, 2007. 7:13 PM
Zip gun- A simple improvised firearm. (The one shown in the end is a Zip, it uses .22 caliber ammo.)
Juklop in reply to IlluminatedAntichristNov 5, 2007. 7:54 PM
Can you actually shoot and kill people with this Zip Gun?
IlluminatedAntichrist (author) in reply to JuklopNov 5, 2007. 10:50 PM
Yes, it's lethal. Especially is you shoot em' in the head.
Juklop in reply to IlluminatedAntichristNov 6, 2007. 3:37 PM
Are they difficult to make?
IlluminatedAntichrist (author) in reply to JuklopNov 7, 2007. 1:25 PM
