How to build a meteor for 2$

>> Step 0

Be smarter than us and make sure the meteor you wanna build will fit through the door before building it in your kitchen.

>> Step 1

Buy some balloons. The price of the balloons will be your entire budget.

>> Step 2

Take the balloons and tape them together so they form the shape you're looking for.



>> Step 3

Prep the paste for the "Papier Mâché" and get some FREE news papers ready.



>> Step 4

Take the layers of news papers and dig them into the gisgusting paste you just made. Put them around the balloons until they are entirely covered. Now your meteor looks like balloons wrapped with news papers.



>> Step 5

Square the angles, add some shapes here and there with more news papers. Now your meteor looks like a meteor made of news paper.



>> Step 6

Take a break and let it dry. Go watch a long movie but don't take a shower yet cause you're not done yet.

>> Step 7

You need to give it some texture. Make it look like rock. That's where you look for a Special Effects guy. They always have tons of advice and sometimes they have leftovers from the last show they just wrapped. They will be happy to get rid of these left over and it will make more room in their studio. (Check out the films that are being shot on line and try to get a hold of the special effect department)

>> Step 8

Once you get something for the texture, spread it on your meteor. ( Here we got some snow, leftovers from a commercial)



>> Step 9

Once the texture is dry, your meteor looks like a colorless rock. But, you got some paints and colors from your new friend of the Special Effect to make it look better.



>> Step 10

The meteor is done... ( you can add some other stuff of course, there is always something somewhere that will make it look better)

>> Step 11

Because there is no meteor without a big crater... And because you're not allowed to dig a hole in this backyard that is not yours.... Go check out in your neighborhood, there are always some houses in construction with tons of dirt. Aks politely if you can get some to build a crater in your backyard... For a movie.


Here is your meteor!
