Your response about the towel holder "I ruined it. So she got a new one and I got a skull holder".... cracked me up. Do it again and she'll have your head on a stick.

I have a couple of tips to share from one Artist to Another ! 1. If you have something with the hardened Hot Glue on it " such as your Wife's paper towel holder , you can stick the item in the Fridge or Freezer for a little bit and the hot glue will pop right off !!! 2. When working with glue that comes in tube form, rub a little bit of Vaseline on whatever you don't want the glue to adhere or dry on ( such as your hands ) ! It makes it so much easier to remove , rather than pick off of your skin ! Bonus Info ... Put Vaseline on the tip of the tube for easy removal of the cap next time !!

The whole time while watching this, I was trying to think of a way I could mass produce these (faster) so my daughter could use them with her 4th graders. I thought it would be cool to have the kids paint them their own unique way. Very cool idea. On a scale of one to ten I give this a nine!

I'm a sculptor (amateur) and I love the idea of creating a skull form armature. This would be super fun to do for a Halloween sculpt as a base for a mummy or zombie or something. Plus just as a regular skull they look awesome.

This is exactly why I love KZfaq! This guy made an excellent tutorial for making plastic jug skull props for Halloween. How cool is that? Thank You for showing this and the accent was cool too. Keep up the great work. Very nice indeed!!

Tremendous. And I really appreciate that you leave the video fairly raw. You show that this isn't so easy-peasy. You have to work it to make it come out right.

Those would make good lawn lanterns...

That is so cool I added a LED light inside and made it glow I also used a bit of spray paint for details. Great vid tutorial! 👍

Love your resourcefulness! Taking something that would be trash & making a "skully treasure"! How kind to share your knowledge & talent!

This man has one of the cleanest mustaches I've ever seen! 😻

I appreciate the care for your wife's paper towel holder. Good man! ...and great skull tutorial!! :)

Joann fabrics right around July 4th - July 25th is when they START bringing out Halloween stuff and putting it on their shelves. I know this cuz I’ve been working at one for 5 YEARS AND LOVE IT

Thanks for that. I have seen other tutorials for this project but they always say you can't use a cheap plastic skull to start so I've never tried it. I have several of the same skull you used so now I know it will work on them. I'm excited!!!!

Brilliant method. I love the endless possibilities depending on how far you go with the melting. Good on you for showing your concern for the towel holder. We have too many KZfaqrs setting bad examples, we need more good role models.

I used this method for my mummy's, heads , worked great. Thank you

I have another idea you might try. What if you cut a slit from top to bottom and put the skull in then tape or glue the slit shut. Drill a hole in the cap and install a fitting that you could hook to a hose. You could then hook up a small vacuum and heat the jug with the heat gun or possibly rig up a way to put the whole thing in an oven. After you essentially vacuum pack the skull in a melted milk jug, you could cool it and lightly pressurise it to help it release. Cut away as much as you have to, and remove the skull. I'm not dissing your way by any means, I just thought that this could be a cool experiment.

I need a milk jug skull. I didn't even know this morning that I'd need one.

Most ‘how to’ videos show ‘how to’ providing you have hens’ teeth, gold thread and a CNC machine in your 7th bedroom. It’s refreshing to see an actual; You can do this at home, practical video. Well done you!

Great tutorial! Glad you left in the mistakes! :) I hope your wife doesn't kill you... LOL!

Hey instead of paper towel holders for holding your props,candle stick holders work pretty good too,and can find them at goodwill and thrift stores,check it out man

I love how concerned you are about the paper towel holder. Loved the results of your skull.

You are AMAZING!!!!! I've had the idea to do this for a few years but couldn't figure it out for the life of me!!!!! I am a FAN now!!!! Love your work!

Ive seen where people use these skulls for scarecrows, just use spray adhesive to add a burlap sack over it and it'll give the head of the scarecrow a skull shape

i make a leather version you can wear similar to this. but i use wet leather sheets, and pottery tools to mold the leather into the contours. it will stay in place if you continue to burnish the leather until it begins to dry, only got about 1/2 hr per wetting. using ace bandages with alligator clips to hold it in place till completely dry. makes a great sugar skull mask.

Great job! Who would have thought you could do that with a plastic milk jug! Two thumbs up from me!!!

Love this! I love your crow/raven wall paper backdrop, too. I really have to get started on Halloween. I think today marks 99 days left. I hope you were able to clean off the paper towel holder. If not, maybe sticking it in the freezing will help it peel right off. Thanks for everything. 🎃

You can easily remove hot glue from just about anything with a little dab of isopropyl alcohol. It's amazing you just touch your finger to the alcohol and then touch the edge of the glue and it breaks the glue bond. Then it just peels right off. What's great is that it doesn't dissolve it just breaks the bond holding it. Hope this tip helps.

Oh man! Right away when that skull came out off the mold, i thought how cool would these skulls look with some light effects? You could use these in so many ways! So awesome!

Great tutorial! Please warn to be very cautious when using electrical tools and water

This might very well have been the coolest thing I've ever seen!! Thank you!!

I love what you said!! "Crap! this is not good!! " Its only a towel holder ;)!! You should use the heat gun and remove the excess glue from the holder!! BTW love love love this technique, it has lots of potential.

Awesome! Thanks for your great ideas.....excited to see cement skull tutorial!

You have a fun personality. Enjoyed listening as much as watching your tutorial.

I kept giggling at the paper towel holder. lol I'd imagine she's prepared to loose random household items married to a man like you. If it were me, seeing something's missing, I'd come find you to see what you made with it or used it for - then, depending on what it was, ask you to replace it. lol But I'd be more excited to see whatcha made. Very cool! I have no idea how you come up with this stuff but I'm glad you do!!

Awesome job. Those skulls look great and gives me ideas. Great vid. I'm ready for more vids.

Brilliant! You are so clever and talented! Halloween is my favorite Holiday but my ideas are a bit more fantasy based- Which gives me great ideas to make masks using your technique! Thank you and Have a wonderful and safe Halloween!

i have tons of jugs. skulls are so expensive so this is great. Maybe one should do the jaw bone separate and then hinge or glue it to the main piece

I love these tutorials!! Thanks so much for making them. Your accent rules too!

I like your tutorial style. It's relaxed and real.

Dont know why I watched this video but Im glad I watched the whole thing. You Sir made it interesting the all the way through. Great video.

I love the quiet "crap..." as you looked at how much glue had dropped. Hilarious!!

Very creatively talented and Monsterific!!!! Subscribed👍🏻

This is the best video out there that I have seen yet, a lot of detail. Very cool.

If you use a little denatured alcohol, hot glue will literally fall off any surface. Try it, you'll be amazed!

Genius!! So many applications. Can save me a lot of money except for the purchase of the heat gun.

PRETTY COOL!!! Kinda like VACUUFORMING without a real VACUUFORMER! This technique would work well with A LOT of other cool stuff! Nice job!!!

Once again, you have amazed me! FYI hot glue can be easily removed from most hard surfaces with acetone.

It may be sort of silly, but in almost every store that would have Halloween items dusplayed, they usually put them out around the 1st or 3nd week of September, sometimes late August too depending on the store. This works the same way for any other holiday related items. Valentine's day stuff? Around late December, early January. Halloween?-possibly late August, early September. Fill in the blank holiday,same thing

Wouldnt it be cool to use a mannequin's face to mold the milk jug then place the skull inside so that you can see inside the outer surfaces on a face in to the skull?

I have been waiting for this. :) I love melting HDPE. My paper towel holder doesn't hold paper towels anymore. I use it for my different tapes like duct tape, painters tape, packing tape, etc. and so on. I have about 7 different rolls on there now. :D That came out so awesome! Fix the cut in it and you could cast resin in it too. Resin doesn't stick to HDPE. I already did that test with a small amount of HDPE and a rock as my mold object. :) - Heidi

WOW!!!!! Really awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Only 91 days! Hopefully everyone is getting ready. I've got to add more skulls to my rocking chair photo op, and this could be a great way to do it. Thanks!

I just found this channel. I really love his tutorials. I don’t know how it has 800+ downvoted. Excellent tutorial.

Skull on paper towel holder wuld be a good lamp. This is so cool. I am looking for excuse to find use of heat gun since I need for resin but am not skilled at resin.

This is great, I work for Alta Dena dairy, I am definitely doing this

Awesome props and video too, love your comedy when watching, entertaining at the same time too, thumbs up!

I'm over a year late but this is the coolest goddamn thing I've seen in awhile. Super creative and the fact that it isn't overly complicated just makes it even better.

To get hot glue off of almost anything. Place a drop of rubbing alcohol at the surface edge of the hot glue and the substrate it is on. wait a few seconds and peel it off easily.

"Oh, crap." 😝 Great combo of inspiring, useful, and funny.

Hi there! I'm just seeing this video of yours for the first time, as I saw your channel on the Home page. I really love skulls and watched you do this and MUST SAY...Your work is BADASS!! I also like how you sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed your wife's paper towel holder and are making sure to clean it and put it back...LOL....Also, watching your video I can now at low cost make one of these and it gave me the idea that after I make one of these I will get some clay and do a life like face which I love doing. I will be watching more of your videos as well. Before I go though, I'll tap that subscribe button and notification button as well! PS thanks for smiling a little as it made me smile too! Your AWESOME!!!!!

That was pretty cool! Xacto knife could be safer for removing the jug from skull.

Dude, your stache is amazing!

The skulls that we buy in the stores are good.... You, on the other hand have added an 'Unsettling' degree of detail to a standard prop!! So Cool and spooky!!

Got to start work, was planning a fairy land in my old 55Gallon aquarium, but with your ideals its to become a macabre death land of mummified remains and rotting corpses . maybe just use the eerie moonlight setting to enhance it :)

this guy is fantastic I subscribed to him just because of this video

Nice job man I had to laugh about the paper towel dispenser though because I get in trouble all the time for using my wife's curling iron to bend thin pieces of wood for guitar binding. Great video, can't wait to see what you do with the concrete.

Thanks for sharing. You can use the heat gun to soften the glue on the paper towel stand so it removes easier. Love the tutorial by the way. Thanks

New sub here..you are adorable. You had me laughing at every concern about the paper towel holder. Great instructions and great skull, going to check out the rest of your videos. Keep up the great job !

So, this is what Floki is up to when not filming for Vikings! 😊 Very cool skulls! Can't wait to make some!

I have wondered how pepole make stuff with milk jugs. Thanks great tip.

Wow great Job Love it and especially your remake of the hand, very realistic looking. I collect crystal skulls so this is cool.

Really enjoyed this tutorial , . Going to show this to my husband Thank you .

That is awesome!! Definitely doing this!

Most simple technique iv never thought of doing. Genius dude, keep it up!

After you finish with the concert skulls you can clean the inside and put led lights in it for a ghostly effect.

love your tutorial...thanks for sharing!! love you

Skull looks pretty cool

When you use a heat gun it is not safe to lay it flat on the table as you can burn the top of the table. You are supposed to stand them with the heat element side up. There are little tabs on the back side that allows you to stand it up that way

An exceptionally pleasant tutorial...thank you

This is the most creative way to make day of the dead skulls for my outside decorations. Thank you

Thank you for tutorial! I never thought to use polyethylene as Papier-mâché. Here in Russia some of us love halloween, but it hard to find decorations so we have to DIY them. We don’t have those milk jugs, but I used thick polyethylene film and it works just fine.

Fantastic starter for a very cool mask in the making if the skull is proportionate. Keep up the great work you inspire me Greatly!

So creative!! I bet your good with home projects too!!

So easy to follow. I love when he goes into detail and explains things.

I love Halloween and recycling! Love these skulls!

Two points one love that you used everyday stuff to do it, second nice work it’s like vacuum modding without the vacuum, I would have never thought of this so smart! You could use this to do molds for chocolates or anything you want to recreate simple genius thank you!

If you tape a vacuum cleaner hose onto the milk jug and turn it on then you will have a vacuum mold. Just heat the jug and it will form quickly and exactly to the skull. You could probably do one in 30 seconds.

You are a very clever guy. Very instructive. Will check out all your vids.

I am a very arty, love skulls, love making things. A great tutorial!

I'm going to make some 💀 s ,you make it look so fast and easy to do and it's cheap, I can't wait to see what you come up with next, thanks for sharing.

I'm doing a murder victim Halloween costume to walk around town in. I wish I would have found your channel sooner, your tutorials are really great.

Very KOOL!!! I will be trying this soon!

Wishging All Good things for You & your Family....Love how you produce your videos..makes me want to talk with ya during...lol..and the Subjects!...blow me away....your work is Incredible..easy and wonderful to follow....Thank You!

Excellent. You are a sweet nutty guy and your hobby just made me smile and smile!

Oh my god. I love how you were calling a store at the beginning to know when their halloween decorations are coming in. It took my Target forever to get there's in. Like Sept 20th.

I love your voice. I don't know what accent you have. But I love it.

hahaha omg i LOVE how you silently stolen the paper towel holder. If i caught my husband doing that i would have said "WHAT. THE. FUCK. do you think your doing with that??" love this!

Monster tuturials you are the best ever😀

You are the best! Love all your Halloween tutorials👻! Just subscribed. Thank You so much for sharing your talent 😊
