1. The Cooper mask. (Crow's "ears" I'm not sure what its exactly called)
2. Soap dish for eye socket.
3. Two glow-in-the-dark ping-pong balls. (I just used regular ping-pong balls -- painted them yellow).
4. "e" or crown bowling pin. (Crow's mouth).
5. Spring for inside of mouth. (So when you pull on the string to open the mouth, the mouth closes again automaticly -- Its magic!)
6. Two squares of black electrical tape (For eyes).
7. Gold spray paint.
8. Yellow paint (If you dont have glow-in-the-dark ping-pong balls, or ping-pong balls that are already yellow, you will need to paint them yellow).
9. Black spray paint.
10. Wire/String/Fishing line. (For operating mouth)
11. One of those scuba tubes that you breathe through when you go underwater...You can find one of these at any Wal-Mart/Target or pool supply store. This part is for that black scrunchy thing on Crow's kneck. You'll need more of this part for Crow's arms.
Crow's Torso:
1. Two tupperware florailers. These are hard to find. But, you can bid on them at some on-line auctions.
2. Drainage pipe. (What Gypsy's body is made out of) This is whats between Crow's torso and his upper torso.
3. Two desk lamps. (For Crow's arms)
4. Two "grabbers". (Found at Toys 'r' Us. You know, the plasic claws attached to the pole with a switch at the end to make them open and close. Crow's hands.)
1. If your Cooper mask is not painted gold yet, do so.
2. If your soap dish is not painted gold yet, do so.
3. If your bowling pin is not painted gold yet, do so.
4. If your ping-pong balls are not already glow-in-the-dark, paint them yellow.
5. When the ping-pong balls are dry, go ahead and stick the electrical tape to them.
Building Crow's head:
1. Saw the bowling pin. (This is a good picture to use for understanding where to saw the pin.)
2. After you saw the bowling pin open, go ahead and paint the inside of the pin black.
3. Paint the inside of the soap dish black.
4. Paint a piece of PVC pipe gold. (This piece of PVC should be about 3 to 4 inches long. And, it will run through the bowling pin, and attach to the soap dish. The other end of the PVC pipe will attach to a smaller (In diameter) piece of PVC pipe, that will run through Crow's body.)
5. Saw a hole through the bowling pin, the size (In diameter) of the piece of PVC you just painted gold. The hole should be inbetween the bigger part of the bowling pin (the bottom) and the smaller part (the top)
6. Hot glue the gold PVC into the hole you jut cut in the bowling pin. (Remember: the soap dish will be attached to the top of the PVC, and there should be at least and inch coming out from under the bowling pin so that you can attach the head to the body.)
7. Hot glue the soap dish to the top of the PVC pipe you just glued into the bowling pin. (Make sure the soap dish is facing forward. :])
8. Glue the eyes (ping-pong balls) into the soap dish.
9. Hot glue the Cooper mask to the back of the soap dish.
10. Now, take the spring, and attach it to the inside-top of the bowling pin. (The spring will allow the pin to close after it is opened) One way to do this, is to cut two small holes through the top of the pin, and then put the loop of the spring through.
11. Repeat step 10 for the bottom part of the mouth.
12. Attach your wire/sting/fishing line to the bottom of the bottom part of the bowling pin.
Now, Crow's head it finished! If you pull on the wire/string/fishing line that you have attached to the bottom of crows mouth, then the mouth should open and close automaticly.
2. Saw a hole through the tray you just sawed. The hole should be in the center of the tray, and should be the size of your PVC pipe. (This tray will be Crow's upper torso)
3. Paint the tray gold.
4. Now, saw the tray off of the other florailer. Flip the tray upside-down, and hot-glue it back onto the other florailer. (This is Crow's lower torso)
5. Saw a hole all the way through the center of the florailer, the same size hole as the one you just sawed through the other floriler tray.
6. Paint the florialier gold.
7. Take the drainage pipe, and hot-glue it to the top of the lower-torso florailer.
8. Now, place the upper-torso tray, ontop of the lower-torso you just assembled. Make sure the two holes that you cut through the two parts of the torso match up.
9. Hot-Glue the upper-torso (the tray) to the lower-torso (the other florailer and the drainage pipe)
10. Take the black PVC pipe, and slip it through the torso.
11. Hot-Glue the black PVC pipe to the torso.
12. Attach the scuba gear thing to the PVC pipe just abouve the torso.
13. Drill a small hole just above the scuba-kneck thing. (This will allow the wire/string/fishing line to run from the bottom of Crow's mouth, and through the PVC)
14. Attach Crow's head to the top of the torso by slipping the gold PVC (on the head) over the black PVC that runs through the torso.
15. Slip the wire/string/fishing line (whatever you used) through the drilled hole (step 13) and out the other end of the black PVC.
Now, when you pull the wire, crows mouth should open and close! Now we move on to the arms...
