1
Take your plywood and lay your funnel
where you want your Sarlaac to be and trace around it with a pencil.
Step 2
Now take a drawing compass and make
another circle inside of the other circle about 1/4 inch smaller than
the outer circle.
Step 3
Now you need to cut out the inner circle.
(This will allow you to attach the
funnel to the plywood later on.)
Step 4
Now you need to cut the 1"x 2"
lumber into 4 equal 1ft pieces and attach them to the corners of the
plywood. (It should now look like a
table.)
Step 5
Next you need to wad up some of your
aluminum foil and place them at random intervals around the top of the
plywood and tape them down. This will help form your landscape.
Step 6
Now take the mixing bowl and mix 1/2 cup
of Elmer's glue and 1/2 cup of water.
Step 7
Now cut your newspaper into strips and
dip them into the glue mixture and apply to the surface of the project
and over the foil wads.
Step 8
Take the funnel now and apply your
sculpey to the inside of it to form the Sarlaac itself. When you are
done you need to put the funnel with the sculpey still inside it, into a
pot of boiling water to cure the clay.
Step 9
When the clay is hard and dry you need to
paint it to look like the Sarlaac.
Step 10
Now that the clay and the paper mache are
both dry you need to turn the "table" upside down and use the
epoxy to attach the funnel to the cutout.
Step 11
Lastly you need to turn the playset right
side up and take your scenic cement and spray the whole tabletop and
then sprinkle the playground sand over it in very thin coats. Repeat
this step until you reach the desired look and enjoy.
