Create a monster face on your house using foam board, paint, and screws. Then build a graveyard scene with a wheelbarrow full of dirt, skeleton pieces, and an old shovel. Both projects are easy and budget-friendly.
You'll need
Directions
- Sketch the monster's teeth and eyes onto the 1-foot foam board.
- Use a hand saw's blade to carefully cut out the sketched design.
- Coat the entire piece with flat white paint.
- Paint the outlines of the eyes and teeth using acrylic paint.
- Attach the pieces to the house with longer screws, and for the teeth, add a board across the back to keep them snug against the wall.
- For the second decoration, fill an old wheelbarrow with dirt.
- Place skeleton parts into the dirt and rest an old shovel against the wheelbarrow.
