The key to having a great bobblehead is having the right picture so that you can recreate a mini you from it. Bobblehead pictures are not just any type of picture, it should be able to give attention to detail and give a 3D depiction of you. This guide might as well help you to make the best bobblehead picture.

Step 1

Identify the main spot where you will pose and mark it as the first spot. Move in front 10-12 feet away from the posing position and mark a second spot. From the posing spot, move backwards another 10-12 feet away and have a third spot marked there.

Step2

Have your bobble friend pose on the main spot as you take pictures of him from the second and third spots. Afterwards make a 6 inch photo print of the pictures, and make a head print that’s twice as large. Cut out the body into smaller sized pictures as well as the head so that the neck is not visible.

Step 3

Get a 20 gauge-wire and cut 2-3 inches from it. Form coils with it, by using a pencil. The end coils should be bended perpendicular to the middle coils. Have one coil placed at the end on the inside of the head of the picture, apply some hot glue .Press a penny into the glue and over the wire.

Step 4

Lastly, glue a lollipop stick onto the centre of the back body print. The stick’s bottom should extend beyond the lowest feet by 1/2 inch. Glue the bottom neck coil near the top of the cutout so that 1/2 inch of coils are exposed as the neck. Glue the front half of the picture to the back half, sealing the paper edges.Cut a slot in the top of a plastic jar lid the size of the end of the Popsicle stick. Press the end of the stick into the hole and hot glue it into place. The weight of the penny in the head should cause the picture to bobble.
