Also I have had a few people asking about how to make giant heads like here and here .

So here is what we did…

1. Take a few close up images against a plain backdrop.

2. Pick your favourite fun image and grab a giant brush colouring over the top and neck.

3. Rotate and crop as needed.picture-7

4. Process how you like it, re-size for print. We did 1m x 1m.

5. Take your files to a large format printer. We recommend getting vinyl prints with the sticky backing. However we un-wisely opted for the high quality print but no sticky back. So we cut out the faces and then glued them to backing board with spray glue. HOWEVER this is a 3 person job and fiddly and the glue did not hold as well as we hoped. SO if you can avoid it, DO!!!

6. Once our boards and pictures were joined and cut to face shape, we gaffa taped some sticks on the back! EASY! and fun!

Let me know if any questions, happy to help!
