Build a Mothman!

There is no right or wrong way to build a Mothman, but we can help you figure yours out! Every kit contains different pieces and colors, and will, in turn, make very different Mothmen! A variety of features are provided to decorate your Mothman; cut them out, peel off their backing, and stick them onto a Mothman base! Don't like the Mothman bases provided in the kit? Want more? Draw and cut one out using your own imagination and paper, cloth, or any other material you have on hand! Use extra glue to stick pieces on non-paper items.

Once you're happy with your Mothman, use leftover supplies to build him a home (a TNT bunker or bridge), then stick him somewhere nice: a laptop, over top a photograph or poster, directly on a wall... the possibilities are only limited by your creativity!

Tools needed: scissors, markers/something to color with, (optional) cardstock, cloth, glue, feathers

Nearly Complete Pre-Made Mothman: Your kit may include Mothmen who are already designed and pasted together. These often include wing designs, feet, eyes, and a hand-drawn mouth or wing patterns. You can further customize these Mothmen by designing, cutting, and pasting more ideas onto the Mothman or by coloring it with markers, paint pens, or pencils and crayons.

Pre-Made Mothman Base:
Your kit may include a mostly blank cut out of a Mothman; it will also include Mothman bases to cut out yourself! The Mothman's shape and certain details will be outlined and drawn with a marker. Cut out and use the provided features (eyes, mouths, wing designs, feet) in your kit, or design, cut out, and add or draw your own! Use the Mothman Builder Guide below to see where features should be placed. Color and add as many extra details as you'd like!

Homes: Your kit may also include a TNT Bunker or Bridge for your Mothman to live in! Where else might Mothman want to live or visit?

Mothman Builder Guide
Use this handy guide to learn where to place your Mothman's features on most bases! Other bases may be different, but this model can still function as a guide for them too! Try to get creative with your Mothman!

Eyes
Eyes go on each side of the Mothman's head (red areas). What does your Mothman's eyes look like? Are they big and round? Tall and wavy? Thin and sharp? Eyelashes? Pupils? Cut and paste them overtop the small dots on a bases' head, or wherever you'd like them on your own creation!

Wings & Wing Designs
Wings can be round, bubbly, sharp, smooth, feathery, and floppy. What are your Mothman's wings like? Do they resemble a specific animal's? Add a little texture on the exterior of your wings (blue areas). Like a moth or butterfly, your Mothman may also have an emblem, design, or pattern on their wing! Swirls, shapes, lines... what does your Mothman's wings look like? Cut and paste or draw them on each wing, or wherever you'd like them on your own creation!

Feet
Your Mothman will need feet to walk around and land (green areas). What does your Mothman's feet look like? A bug's? A bird's? A reptile's? Or something else? Cut and paste or draw two for each side of the bottom of your Mothman.

Head
Your Mothman will need a mouth to eat and antennae to hear (yellow area)! Place or draw a mouth under the eyes or over top of the one provided on your Mothman's base; (optional) cut and paste an antennae or glue a feather on the top of each side of your Mothman's head.

And with that, your Mothman will be ready to take flight and accompany you on your adventures or watch over you at home!
