  • Make the face by gluing the eyes below both of the eyebrows.
  • Use a dark green marker to draw the nose in between the eyes and the mouth, in the middle of the face.
  • Next, take the bolts and glue them to the back of the head, around the eyebrow level.

  • Glue the head to the top of the cup (the opposite side of the shoes). We like to use a glue dot here because there's no drying time, but you can also use a glue stick.
  • Take the arm and glue it to the bottom and end of the sleeve. Repeat for the other side.
  • Place the arm end facing out, then fold the opposite side down. Place glue on the folded part, then glue it to the front of the cup, in between the head and feet, so it looks like Frankenstein is walking with his arms outstretched. Repeat for the other arm.
