Terrify Your Guests With a Ghoulish Great- The DIY Head in a Jar Halloween Project [Printable Included]

Terrify Your Guests With a Ghoulish Great- The DIY Head in a Jar Halloween Project [Printable Included]

Do you entertain on Halloween? Are you attending any party? You'd better be prepared whatever the case. We invite you to spice up the event that you are attending or throw with a DIY head-in-a-jar Halloween project that will be able to terrify guests with a ghoulish great in the fridge.

The project is extremely simple, by using a photo editor, here Photoshop, two pictures are overlapped, and blend into one piece, creating a flat image of a head-on print that will be laminated and submerged in a big mason jar filled with green water. When the flattened image is taking the shape of the round curved jar and the distortion caused by water, it creates the illusion of a severed head in a jar of preserving fluid. You can take everything further and insert an old wig to make things more interesting. You can turn off the refrigerator lamp and tell your guests that it broke, inviting them to search with the phone flashlight if possible, preferably with the light closed obviously.

Making your own head in a jar is easy, but requires some photo editing skills. I've included a tutorial on how I made mine, and took me about 30 minutes to compose. Personalizing this prank will make it more effective. But, if you're not a pro with photo editing, you can download my flattened head image below.

You can also search for "Futurama Head-in-a-Jar Creator," in the store, there is an app that is supposedly doing just that, it is free, so it`s worth a shot.
