Skill level: Easy......if you can use a glue gun {I handled the hot glue of course}

Supplies: Styrofoam Balls, Vampire Teeth, Paint, Artificial Flowers Hot Glue and a knife.
Step 1: Using a serrated knife, cut the Styrofoam ball in half (keeping it slightly attached)
Step 2: Paint the outside skin of your man eating plant (we stuck with lime green, purple and black). Paint the inside of the mouth red. Step 3: Hot glue the vampire teeth inside of the painted Styrofoam ball. Step 4: Hot glue the backside of the painted Styrofoam ball to the front of an artificial flower (the bigger the petals the better)
Extras:
- Coordinate the paint colors with the color of flower you will be using. Example, The lime green painted Styrofoam really popped off of the red or brown flowers. The black painted Styrofoam complimented the white flowers.
- Paint the tips of the flowers with contrasting paint color to add more visual interest.
- Outline the vampire teeth with glow-in-the-dark paint.
Under a black-light
We created an extra large man-eating plant by using 2 pairs of vampire teeth and a large Styrofoam ball - we didn't find a flower large enough to handle this beast.
