OPERATION - The Halloween Costume: TAKE 3

Step 3 BODY DECORATION

I used standard craft paper (flesh-colored) for the body design (see image). This way it would cover up the flashing when I glued it into place. Once the holes in the cardboard box were cut, I temporarily taped the body paper to the box, ensuring to put small registration marks, and then from the inside traced the holes onto the paper. I attached the paper body with spray adhesive taking care to align with the previous registration marks. The actual game pieces are simply computer paper cut-outs and glued into place. For the observant ones, youll note that the game does not have a Kidney Bean. I skipped the wishbone& couldnt figure out a candy to fit in that shaped hole. Artistic license. J Also note how nicely the buzzer embedded into the thick cardboard of the dishpack box. No glue... just snug fit. The OPERATION banners were cut right from a game box. You can see how the Velcro"strips are attached inside each hole. The candy bars also had tiny strips on them securing them into place. The strips on the candy were very small. Larger ones made removal of the candy near impossible.
