Get ready to create your own bloody bowl of peepers with this spook-tacular art-ivity by watching the video below:
Steps:
- Prepare samples of the different types of horrific eyes you'd want to transform your ping-pong balls into. They can be sinister-looking reptile eyes, ravenous monster eyeballs, deadly zombie peepers, or frightening witch orbs!
- Use your roll of tape as a platform to hold your ball while you design it.
- With your boldest chalk marker colors, start drawing on your ping-pong balls. Don’t forget the finer details like veins and pupil lining to make those eyes pop.
- Use a white chalk pen on top of the bright eye colors to add dimension to your designs.
- For a more terrifying effect, draw dripping blood on your clear bowl using your red chalk marker.
- Once your chalk ink has dried, you can start putting all your eyeballs in your eye bowl.
