Monster Fingers

The girls and I made some really cute "Monster Pens" to give to their classmates.  We love to do crafts together and this one was fun, fast, and easy.  All you need is white model magic, ballpoint pens, black fake fingernails, and a tooth pick.

1st you take a ball of model magic that is a bit smaller than a golfball.
Roll it out like a snake.  Make it about the same length as the pen.
Flatten the model magic.
Put your pen in the model magic and squish it down a bit.
Cover the pen with the model magic and kind of squeeze it together.
Lightly roll the model magic covered pen to smooth out the lines.
It should be covered except for the tip of the pen.
Then you take a fingernail and stick it on the end.  Make sure you leave enough of the pen exposed so you can write with it.
You might need to cover a little bit of the bottom of the nail so it will really stay put!
Use a the side of the toothpick to make lines for the knuckles.
More knuckle lines.
40 Monster Pens!
Pretty cool!  Mac wants to paint the end red when they are dry.  She's like her mom, she likes creepy stuff!
