Just imagine it… You wake up on Christmas morning, brimming with excitement to see what presents Santa has left you under the tree. You spot a large, beautiful gift topped with a bow. THIS is the present you want to open first. You run towards it and the moment you touch it, you realize your mistake. You’ve failed your investigation roll… Large fang-like teeth pop out and eight monstrous eyes are staring straight at you. You’ve fallen victim to THE CHRISTMAS MIMIC.
Mimics are shape-shifting monsters that pretend to be an ordinary object to lure in their prey. They can be found in games like Dungeons & Dragons and Dark Souls. For Christmas 2022, we’re going to make our very own yuletide Mimic Christmas present. This DIY Mimic is easily made with foam board, air dry foam clay, and acrylic paints.
We hope you enjoy our Mimic tutorial. If you make your own Christmas present monster, send us a pic!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas everyone! 🤘💀 Thanks for an amazing year. You are awesome.
-
I've been loving all these projects, but I gotta say there's just something about the "Christmas but make it spooky" stuff that makes me extra happy!😂😂😂
-
I'm so happy the wicked stuff continues even after Halloween is over. You guys are so wholesome :D Merry christmas!
-
On the foam clay: when it dries it has the same properties as EVA foam so you can use a Dremel and/or a soldering iron for detailing but you want to wait until it is COMPLETELY dry which can take multiple days
-
I didn’t know what a mimic was, but that’s cool! I love that your child and pet aren’t the least bit bothered by the creepy projects you do.
-
One of the things I love most about your channel (other than your quirky sense of humor & nerdiness) is that you aren't afraid to share when something doesn't work or when your plan changes. You two have a lovely relationship and I can tell that you are best friends! Happy Holidays to you guys and your family!! ❤️
-
the mimic came out so cool!! <3 something that could add more to that 'wet' mouth feel would be like dripping saliva, maybe hot glue strands connecting from the teeth to the tongue or going down the sides of his gums onto the box?
-
That is so totally awesome! I've always felt that mimics were an underused critter. Since they can be anything why do they always have to be chests? Why not books, armoires, chairs, couches even and I love the toilet idea. Would love to see a sculpted toilet mimic!
-
Every Sunday I wake up and think: “hmmmmm, what thing are Wicked Makers gonna turn petrifying today?” Love you guys! 🙌🏼 (I know this was posted on a Saturday but you know, every other time)
-
spooky themed holiday decor other than Halloween seems like its going to be goldmine for this channel. who said you can't make other holidays creepy because its not Halloween? love to see whats going to be next!
-
This guy is so wicked! Y’all did an amazing job making him into a present mimic and it looks exactly like it! Happy holidays and i hope you have a merry Christmas! Y’all are truly amazing!
-
I love how even when you are making Christmas decorations you make it scary
-
Awesome Project! Looks great!
-
FYI. Crayola model magic is foam clay. it seems to take a bit longer to dry when it's thick but will work in a pinch when you run out of the good stuff. love the project!
-
This is such an appropriate Christmas gift. Thank you very much! Have a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year ❣️
-
That's pretty awesome, you captured the look of the mimic very well. With that technique, in my mind's eye though I see a symbiote.
-
I need you guys to come over to do my decorations! The stuff you two make is always super awesome!
-
So cool!!! I love that you guys are doing other holiday projects that are still creepy and cool
-
i love how the Mimic looks! the tongue gradient is pppppppperfect!
-
This is cool, but you know what would be cooler? Make the mimic with motion sensors so, when the vict-err…person isn’t too close, it looks like a present that is inviting them to open it. Then, when our target moves in to open it, the motion sensors activate and our mimic comes to life to devour them! THAT would be awesome!
