This hot glue alien parasite is easy and inexpensive to make, and is the perfect addition to a Halloween specimen collection. Although I didn't use this for my X-Files party, it reminds me a little of the alien parasite in the X-Files episode "Ice." You could also fill the vial with a colored liquid to make it look like you've embalmed the specimen, but I'm not sure if that would adversely affect your parasite if you want to reuse it for future years.
Materials:
*Hot glue and glue gun
*Vial
*Fine tipped black marker
*Label (see this post for creating potion labels)
*Thread
Directions:
*Apply some hot glue to the bottom of the vial's cork and create a line of hot glue going downward. Make sure that the line of hot glue is still short enough to fit inside the vial. Let harden.
*Once the hot glue has solidified, you can peel the parasite from the cork or leave it hanging from the cork, whichever way you like.
*Add a couple of eyes to the parasite using a fine tipped marker
*Close the parasite inside the vial.
*Tie a specimen label around the parasite vial.
