What do you think about the tombstones I made from recycled foam boards 🎃🪦🎃
Your comments and advices are welcomed 😉
Happy fall season and happy Halloween everyone!

The skeleton is a basic skeleton. The drape is a queen size grey sheet. I reinforced the skeleton joints with copper solid grounding wire zip tied at the joints. There is a wooden 1x2 running from the spine at the base of the neck all the way though the base pedastal. She used a watered down Modge Podge and soaked the sheet before setting it on the skeleton.
She used paper clips and binder clips to hold the drape in place until it set. then once dry, I used a pump sprayer to add
another coat of Modge Podge.
The foam base was carved with a soldering iron to make the "bricks" and Super 90 spray glue was sprayed lightly in places to eat away some of the foam. (There was a middle ring for the chest that is now glued to the bottom to make it look less like an ice chest😂)
Then the whole thing was painted with thick layers primer and black spray paint topped with urethane to help make it rainproof.
A cinder block is glued inside the base to make it “bottom heavy” for stability.
Total cost to build: $70 and it took about 2hrs not counting drying time. (Ice chest was free because it came with a food delivery order). Height is just under 7ft. Weight is around 30lb.

This upcoming is our first Halloween without her. I can’t count the numbers of grown men who shrieked or ran away from her as she happily trotted down the street with her human brothers. Her costume was remade through the years, it initially involved fur fabric, foam pipe insulation tubes, hangers, elastic lots and lots of hot glue and Velcro. I remade it so it could Velcro onto a long body harness. As she got older I modified it so she could just lie in the yard and let Kids get candy from her spider abdomen. “Mom! I got candy out of her butt!” Is the best line ever. Last year I finally made her a spider den.
Enjoy!

The mask was from Dollar General and I just hot glued it to the mirrored part (able to be removed) Under $10 and I now have a super creepy mirror.

All in cost $3.50
(I know it should technically say “here lie” and not “here lies” bc of subject verb agreement but it didn’t sound halloweeny enough 🤷‍♀️)

We used pvc pipes, spray foam, trash bags, pool noodles, stalkings, hair extentions, a scarf , ping pong balls and a ornament to make my belovid spider! He’s still holding up strong to this day( just needs a little spray paint touch up every year). Legs come off for easier storage.
