Prank
Hungry? Scare those fridge-bound famished food foragers with a head in a jar!
Using a photo editor, two pictures are blended together to create flat image of a head, which is then laminated and
submerged in a jar. When the flattened image in inserted into the curved jar, along with the distortion from the
water, gives the illusion of a decapitated head in a jar of preserving fluid.
Here's what you need to make your own:
Photo editing software
Large jar
food colouring
computer printer
paper lamination (also available at local print/copy store)
Making your own head in a jar is easy, but requires some photo editing skills. I've included a tutorial on how I
made mine, and took me about 30 minutes to compose. Personalizing this prank will make it more effective. But,
if you're not a pro with photo editing, you can download my flattened head image below.

Step 1: Take Photos + Import
To make the head printout you'll need 2 pictures of a head, a profile and a portrait. With the camera at eye-level,
take a picture straight on and one from the side. Ensure your subject is well lit. Also, ask them to make a face.
Next we'll import these images into a photo editing suite. Since the final output will be on a standard A4 / 8.5" x
11" printer paper, start by opening your photo editing software and opening a new document set to your printer
