Friday Face Off: Zombie DIY





Okay, I don't know that this really needs a "face off" because really, everyone's a winner!  Zombie DIY of any kind is pretty much full of win, no matter how you look at it.  But you can decide which form of do-it-yourselfery is right for you -- and then you can do it!

DIY Zombie Make-up:

There are plenty of sites that show you how to do your own zombie make-up job.  I just used eyeshadow.  Maybe someday, when I'm feeling ambitious, I'll redo and take pictures of a step-by-step.  Until then, check out these sites and tips:

DIY: Stuffed Zombies: 

They range from little things like zombie pincushions and zombie feltie keychains to full freak-you-the-eff-out life-sized zombie companions.  Check out the sites below to find out more:
Life-sized stuffed zombies for Halloween
Holy adorable stuffed animal zombies!
and of course, I already showed you zombie barbies -- and if you come back on Monday, I'll show you zombie sheep!

DIY: Zombie Bath Products
Make them yourself from creeptastic ingredients, or cheat and buy them from sites like Bloodbath or one of the many zombie-friendly sellers on Etsy, where you can also find zombie jewelry;
or you can use Think Geek's Zombie Brain mold to make some lovely soaps or ... whatever you may come up with.
Even Bath and Body Works got in on the action with Zombie Squad Anti-bacterial Hand Soap!

DIY: Actually raising the Dead:

Find out how at sites like this one or maybe here.

So, what do you think?  What's your favorite form of DIY Zombie?  Once you know, maybe you should try your hand at your very own -- and then enter the Zombie Craft Challenge!
