Me: *Sighs* What stupid thing have my children done today
Istg this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard
My Millennium Rod is ready!!!
The build didn’t take too long or require too many materials: Wood, wooden sphere, wooden dowel, polymer clay, glue (PVA and super glue), paint and sanding paper, (and a passion for Yu-Gi-Oh! certainly helps :p) I didn’t have a tapered dowel so I had to sand a cylinder it in that shape by hand (if I had a lathe it would certainly have saved me time).
Big thank you to my dad for helping me out assembling the whole thing :)
As always, shoot me a message if you would like further information about this build and I will do my best to help you out!
Since I defs didn’t want to carve a real pumpkin to put on my head and get nasts pumpkin insides all over my hair I decided to paper mache one. Unfortunately there was no good tutorials anywhere so I will share my trial and error knowledge.
First I got some supplies: 1 Punch balloon (they’re rounder and larger they regular balloons), some paper mache stuff in a bag, cardboard, a glue gun, paint, sculpey clay, tape, some news paper and some water and flour mixed together.
I then put at least three - five paper mache layers of newspaper with flour water on the balloon. I also measured my head and left an opening at the bottom. (NOTE: Don’t put tape on the balloon and try to peel it off after you’re done paper macheing, RIP)
After that’s all dry I put glue gunned some cardboard onto it to give it some pumpkin like ridges.
Then I filled the gaps between the cardboard and the newspaper with the paper mache in a bag stuff. Wait for it to dry. (Note: Don’t pop balloon until the paper mache in a bag stuff is dry cause it holds a LOT of water and your paper mache project will sink, RIP) After that I popped the balloon and lightly dampened the top with a sponge and water until it was wet enough to slowly press down into more of a pumpkin shape.
After it’s all dry I taped a stem I made out of card board on the top and put another layer or two of newspaper mache over top.
More drying wait time (you can use your oven on the lowest setting to make it dry faster) then I sanded it down and cut out a face with an exacto blade.
I added a little bit of backing behind the face on the inside with the paper mache in a bag to give it more of a 3D look which wasn’t that noticeable but oh well, it kidna worked… After all that stuffs done I painted it all white otherwise the newsprint would bleed through and make my colours not as bright, I also added some sculpey clay to the brow area to give it some more emotion in which I used an iron to dry it with cause it was too late to put it in the oven with paint all over it (Note: Put clay on before painting).
I sprayed it with a sealer before painting colours on it cause I find acrylics do weird things sometimes. After it was all dry I begin to paint.
I also painted the inside a red and added a kinda head rest thing on the inside since when I pushed the top down it made an uncomfortable point at the top when putting it on your head. Then once it was all dry I sprayed it with some more sealer, added some cool stuff like stitches with some ribbon and blood which I used nail polish for a shiny effect and put in some lights which weren’t very effective when my head was in the pumpkin but that’s okay, it still looked cool.
And that’s that!
Hope this helps some people, Enjoy!

Air Signs: they feel emotions very strongly, but they tend to internalize them and they feel obligated to handle them on their own without burden others. Whenever something goes wrong, they push all of their problems into a corner and try very hard to act like they're okay. That is, until everything comes crashing down on them and causes them to have a breakdown, feel everything at once, and start to self-destruct. When they're breaking down, they can still hide it and only someone close to them would realize. They also tend to overthink their emotions and try to intellectuize them, often disappointed when scenarios or people don't live up to how they imagined them in their head.
Water Signs: their emotions are all-consuming and they are naturally more expressive with them than the other elements, and are more prone to express their feelings-- good or bad. They have small breakdowns more often but can recover quickly after confiding in others and getting advice, they learn to handle their emotions (but not prevent them). They also feel better by helping others, as they are very in tune to the emotions of those around them. Sometimes they tend to feel as though they don't even deserve to be upset, since others have much worse situations.
Fire Signs: they don't want to be sad, and then their sadness turns into anger at the sheer fact that someone or something caused them pain. they take their anger out on other people, when really they're just sad. But they're outbursts are short lived and they don't tend to hold grudges, since they're feelings and actions are impulsive and spur of the moment. They crave a carefree environment and don't stand for feeling vulnerable.
Earth Signs: they don't like to feel anything but grounded and safe, and thinking about difficult emotions causes them anxiety. They are naturally guarded and often detach from their emotions and try to channel them into something productive, even when things are starting to fall apart. Taking the blame doesn't come naturally to them at first, and their initial reaction in a crisis may be passive aggression and blaming others. They will only let themselves feel if they realize their apathy has really hurt themselves or someone else.
