The Living Severed Hand!

Step 5 Dressing the stump

For the "sleeve" that of your arm stump, you are going to need a section of fabric and a hot glue gun. I chose an old pillow case for my fabric, because of the nice wide hem that was already stitched in, looking like a cuff on a sleeve. I aligned the hem on the cut side of the bottle.

The section of fabric will need to be at least 3 inches or so wider than the bottle is tall (see the first picture) and long enough so that it can wrap completely around the bottle.

I affixed the fabric to the paper outside of the bottle with dots of hot glue as I rolled it around the outside. Be careful to not use too much glue or it may be visible on the outside of the fabric. Pay special attention to the edges, so that they cannot pull away, revealing the bottle.

Finally, you are going to shred the fabric hanging off of the bottom of the bottle. This will further the effect that the limb was viciously torn from someone's body. I made cuts with scissors and then pulled out the threads with my fingers.

Don't worry about the bottom of the bottle- we'll be taking care of that in the next step.
