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 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.

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!

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 🤷‍♀️)

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.

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.

*this was not done based on the movie but an image in my head, please don’t come at me over the “details”*

Lol It's more painful than youtube makes it out to be and wear strong garden gloves or will bleed. It's still is a lot of hand ouchies but use garden gloves. I'm making kid ghost right now but at least I am at the spray paint stage. Coat it with a primer and then glow in the dark paint. We're going to tent spike them to the ground.

6 feet tall and a fully articulated popsicle stick one: I crafted him in 1989. Total cost: $8.00 and 3 months of work. Wood glue and wire twist ties.

Used a 5’ plastic skeleton, green house paint, and a ton of ripped up paper towels. Basically dipped the paper towels into the paint and covered the skeleton with them. Sort of a weatherproof paper mache. Then just added details. Also carved a foam pumpkin and added details to that too. For now he’s pretty much the centerpiece of our display. Hoping to make more stuff this year.

I used 2 pool noodles cut in all different lengths, carved out the center for a tea light candle and glued them to a board. Used hot glue to make it look like melting wax and then sprayed it black. Added some black roses and a spider and black tea light candles from the dollar tree and it looks really cool.

Husband bought Wanda for one of our anniversary gifts.
Thought she needed a meal.
I think it's pretty good for an hour of work.
4 bucks in web and the rest was stuff I could gather up at home

I also got our 2 12 footers up. Sadly my xenomoph queen won't be ready for this Halloween. We still have our grave yard to put up and my wife's red reaper.

Used an old garage can drum, $5 hanging creepy lady, foam spray and spray paint. Thoughts on what I should do to it next or what to place around it?

Im posting because i need all of you genius solutions. I have tried this for days and im about to give up. I want to get this boards (real thin wood and some are a little heavy) to stay on my windows, but no luck so far; they start falling like flies sooner or later. I have done the outdoor heavy dutty Velcro and gorilla doable side outdoor heavy dutty as well and no luck. Any one has been successful with any other materials? TIA

The axe yielding doll is holding the head of the other one, then I added a pumpkin head to her headless body to bring her back to life 🤷🤣
*I used black rit dye for the dress, and I made her little axe 🪓 out of oven-bake clay. 👀I accidentally gauged one of her eyes out when I was taking her things off to dye them, so I just went with it, & pushed the other one out as well 🤷🤣
Please let me know what you think of creepy dolls #3 & #4!!! Any feedback or suggestions greatly appreciated 🫶!!

as well as..wait for it . potatoes..yep . ..not cooked..fresh out of the package Did that last year and for some odd reason the kids went bananas over them!
