As we get closer and closer to Halloween, The Nightmare Before Christmas is at the top of my mind. I can’t help it. Jack Skellington the Pumpkin King is just one of the coolest looking characters there is, and Instructables user Only In Ur Mind has an easy to follow tutorial to re-create the character’s makeup. She used:
Wolfe face and body paint in white
Eye-shadow in black
Face-painting sponge
Halloween spirit store: Jack’s gloves
See? Not many supplies required. You could pair the finished makeup look with a full Jack Skellington costume or just a black suit.
Watch the above video and read the complete tutorial at Instructables to learn how to apply Jack Skellington makeup.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
