Except for Items #6 and #7, these are actual instructions from Sam on how you, the home viewer, can make your own Eric Clapton Head On A Stick. The page has been expanded to include the Heads of more of our friends.

Derek Trucks

Robert Randolph

Detachable Hat

Nathan East

Steve Winwood

  1. download picture-print out and enlarge to lifesize head dimensions.
  2. spray posterboard with aerosol adhesive and place paper print out on posterboard. allow a few minutes to dry. note: be generous with the adhesive, as you don't want to have long-term maintenance problems.
  3. carefully cut out head, taking special care to cut out each nook and cranny of haircut for more realism (per mrs. mangs88).
  4. super glue a paint stick onto the back (k-mart standard issue or others)-you're done!!
  5. holding it in front of your face, display it to passing cars as you drive to the show, walk around local bars and order drinks with it (it gets you better service from the bartenders, and if i wasnt married, OHHHH the phone #'s/addresses i could get to make sure a fellow fan gets one in the future), walk around the arena with it, and if you get really good seats, make sure the band sees it. also great to locate your friends with after the show.
  6. If using the Robert Randolph Detachable Hat, a small piece of velcro on the top of the head and the back of the hat is helpful.
  7. If making a Derek Trucks Head On A Stick, a Detachable Ponytail can be made with a 10 yard pack of nylon yarn from Wal-Mart. With nylon, the ends can be burned with a lighter to prevent fraying. Fold the yarn until the length is right. Then use a cable tie to secure the strands and form a loop. Velcro can be attached through the loop and to the back of the Head.
