Nice
I wish I had a yard to decorate for Halloween.
What are those boxes in front of the headstones?
Anybody had success pumping fog throughout the yard? I was gonna set up both machines on chillers & just let 'em go!
There's lots of different ways to do it. You can do the regular flower/water mixture, wallpaper paste, Elmer's Glue, Plaster of Paris..... just about anything that can be thinnned and dries hard. You can even cover the skull in a few layers of masking tape.Anybody have good papier-mache past recipes? I thin I'd reather not use food products to avoid the bugs eating them in the spring/summer.
Okay, so
skulls- check
fog- there was the PVC tube idea
tombstones? any idea what you're doing there?
Don't forget the lighting. Lighting is very important.
I'd make a mold and pour them in plaster - you can get a big bag of Hydrocal for cheap, at Home Depot.
Regarding lighting... what do you suggest? I saw some rock lights somewhere (looks like a rock from all sides except the back - wish I still had the link) that might work. I think they were battery operated though which may mean they're too dim. Dunno...
I can't find the links I had for it, but I'm certain a Google search will turn up plenty. Essentially, the idea is to hook up an air compressor/blower to a glue gun just before it comes out. So instead of the hot glue dripping/oozing out, because of the now-blowing air, it comes shooting out.Howlingwind do you have any schematics on how to make a cobweb gun like you did? Thanks.

I haven't seen these. I think the primary disadvatage would be having batteries die.

Then again, you might be able to find some reviews on the rock lights.
