You need to use many layers of tape so it is pretty solid, but before
you attach the limbs, you can fill them with plastic bags or newspaper
or tissue paper. They will stand for awhile, but they do eventually
fall down. We placed our in sitting and leaning positions so we could
"tape" them to their prop. That helped too.

Hi Everyone,
My class has made a life size cast of a person out of packingtape. Does
anyone have any
good ideas on how to make this freestanding? (Or just stand up?)
