My birthday is September 30th and since it’s so close to spooky season, I had the chance for some great birthday party themes as a kid. My mom is extremely creative and artistic so for my 10th birthday, it was a Nightmare Before Christmas theme. She made an amazing cake that looked like the curly hill and we had lots of home made decorations. We watched the movie and told ghost stories and my dad banged on the window during a particularly scary one and sent us all screaming down the hallway. My sister and I were Sally and Jack for Halloween that year and mom made the best costumes.
As a kid, Sally was the best. She sang pretty songs, had beautiful long red hair and I loved her spirit. But as an adult, the mayor is my guy. He’s a high anxiety planner, he’s always checking his face and reverting back to that smile when he actually wants to grimace. He’s relatable. Yeah, he’s literally two-faced but he shows his support and rallies the people for Jack even though he’s not sure how this whole Christmas thing is going to pan out. Gotta love the mayor!
Today I’ll show you how to make your own two-faced mayor with his tall black hat. Download your free pattern from Dropbox. I recommend printing this on cardstock or tracing the face pattern onto a cereal box or something so you can paint it.
This tutorial has us hand painting the faces but it’s all very simple shapes. You’ll need a very small brush for the details, along with black felt and hot glue for the hat.
