Dougie Head 3
Home Up

 

Here is the final step in the Dougie head hack.

Attaching the completed Dougie head to the Santa.

I've taken a 2" PVC joint (the inside diameter is just under 2 1/2") and used a saw to cut it in half. The connector was about 4-5" tall and I didn't want that much neck. 

I then used a Dermal Rotary Tool to make it slightly larger by going around the inside lip with a rough sanding type bit. It now fits onto the outside of the Santa neck stump.

I hot glued the other side of the joint to the base of the Styrofoam wig head.

Here you see the view from the bottom of the wig head. You see the connector that will plug into the Santa neck connector and a small screw I added to tighten after the PVC is slid over the Santa neck stump.

(See below) 

The screw goes into the plastic of the Santa neck stump to secure the head on tightly.
Here you can see the PVC about to slide over the Santa neck stump. (After the connector is plugged in).

Then I tightened the screw (in the back).
This photo shows the Dougie head with a mask and the PVC glued to the neck and attached to the Santa neck stump.

The eyes will light up, the mouth will move with the speech from a CD player attached to the aux. input on the Santa, and the head will turn from side to side as he talks.
