I found “Head in a Jar” last year. It’s really easy to make. Get a jar. A big mayo jar or a greenish antique jar like I did. Find a dead man’s face on the web. It’s easier than you think. Think Mexican drug dealer pictures. Resize the found head pic to about the height of the jar. Cut out the head pretty closely. Put the cut out head in the jar. Get a black plastic bag and wrinkle it up and stick in in the jar behind the cut out head. It’ll act as “hair.” Screw on the top and voila! Head in a Jar. We’ve had ours for two years. It stores very nicely and packs a great impact each year. (And yes, the inventor was crabby last year…He failed to acknowledge my emailed photo. Nah, nah, nya nah-nah…)

Ugh. this is the 3rd time recently that i have clicked on a link for more information and the site is broken, removed or the cited content is not there. Come on Mental Floss, check your links! The “Head in a Jar” instruction has been deleted since 2008.

Darn, Fred’s right. I was really interested in the head-in-a-jar, too. Maybe I’ll check eBay for the DVD he talks about…

Looks like the “Head in the Jar” site has removed the info on how to do it due to someone stealing his pages and selling them on a dvd. Too bad. I was interested on finding out more about that one…
