12ft Realistic Foam Wood Halloween Sign | Glow-in-the-Dark via Black UV Light

[@harrybottoms2001]

I’ve watched this video at least 15 times over the last 2 months. I finally got all the supplies and spent a Saturday and Sunday and about an hour or so a night during the week working on it. One thing I learned, if you don’t take your time dremeling the letters, it’ll be a pain in the butt when you paint the black light paint in them. But at the same time, I had to remind myself, it’s a Halloween decoration, it absolutely does not and almost should not, be perfect. Either way, what a fantastic idea. It was fun. Really helped me mentally being able to get creative and get involved in something. Next year I’m doing the tombstones you showed. Love the videos. Get to work making some more decorations for Christmas that I can do! All in all, this is one of the few projects I’ve done where I’ve actually been proud of myself. Thanks for the great in-depth videos man!

[@estrellasantos2136]

I watched this video several times because I found it so interesting and creative. It inspired me to make a sign (with my husband's help). It was a lot of work but I had so much fun making it. We made a second sign with other scary destinations. When we put them up, they looked amazing! Everyone loved them. Thanks for the inspiration. I love all of your projects!

[@vincentsmith4147]

Isaac, dude your the man. I love that sign. Dude you really got it going on. I would love to see you make a Haunted Village with glow in the dark paint for the windows and your Skeletons, Spooky Trees and Ghost. I would love to see that. Dude you are sooo cool.

[@letitgrow1846]

That turned out phenomenal. Thanks for the clear instructions that make it seem very doable for anyone willing to put in the work.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you! Yes it wasn’t that hard, just takes some work.

[@JeffBitler]

This guy. Putting the "wheeeee!" back in Halloween! Thanks Isaac. 👍

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanks Jeff! Gotta keep the spirit of Halloween alive 🤩🎃

[@kathleensnyder7784]

Your explanations are so clear. Thanks so much.

[@leoncooney400]

Myself though would of turned it into a gallow, so the skeleton would of been completely seen & with a bit of wind would be swinging. Either way, it looks Great!

[@markfogle3954]

another awesome job. really talented.

[@LG-oy6kb]

I have made a few signs from foam board, but you've given some neat ideas to improve this year! Thanks!

[@benjaminnnkt]

I would absolutely kill to see your house IRL looks so bloody good!!! the signs came out incredible!! perfect feature for out the front

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

One day I think we can make that happen

[@nerissaangel5200]

What?! I realize this is an old post but I missed it! Super cool!

[@trevorschaffer9173]

Great project. And your beautiful home looks incredible!!! THAT is how you decorate for Halloween.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you Trevor ! When I recorded this I had only set up about 30% of my display so you’ll love it once I post the big reveal

[@sayjaz0506]

Beautifully done. ! It looks so good and realistic. One suggestion maybe, The skeleton would look awesome if it looked like it was climbing the sign, the legs positioned to seem like its climbing. I think it would look soo eery . Thats all I pictured when you gave a closeup. Either way it looks bomb 👌.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

That’s actually a brilliant idea! Will try to adjust it tomorrow

[@ashleyurban5861]

You should do a Christmas 🎄 sign post with a pvc pipe and with the names of the Christmas cities

[@shellyshellz-h5r]

I've made "barn doors" and two gingerbread houses with foam board (also inspired by VanOaks) - BUT I need to start using the type of foam board you have here. I've used white with foil backing. It looks like this is more dense and makes a cleaner cut. It also seems to be easier to carve. I wasn't trying for clean edges, and certainly didn't get them :). I am so glad your videos came up in my feed! Thank you for all the great ideas.

Oh my goodness.... this is awesome. My daughter’s would love this behind our yard. There’s a mountain where they have made trails and this would be perfect. I have to share with them.

Amazing!! The lettering selection was so spot-on with the mood of each location😵😍 perfectly splendid! 🖤

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you! ❤️

[@kennethbutler8271]

I have never used foam for things as I believe it would break in the winds that we get. Do you have any good reinforcement ideas ??

[@reallyfijateperocomocono1131]

I have most of this stuff at home might try this this weekend. But have scrap wood from old private fence might use instead of foam, might paint the letters not carve them out. Hmmmm. Ideas 💡 thanks man!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Do it! Sounds like you have what you need. Hope it comes out awesome

[@sweets9957]

Yep, it's me again. Lol I have a similar technique when I make my tombstones and cemetery/morgue signs. It's all hands carved and hands brushed. It's love to show you pics

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Oh that sounds awesome. Would love to see.

[@horses2by]

That looks fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing from Australia 🇦🇺🎃💀☠️🧟‍♀️🧙‍♀️🤡

[@zynthesis]

Isaac what did you use to carve all those Micheals pumpkins? Just an utility knife?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I used a hot knife like this with the blade attachment (included in kit). I drew the face on the pumpkin with a pencil then used the knife to carve. 19 Pieces Electric Hot Knife Cutter Tool, Hot Knife Multipurpose Stencil Cutter with Metal Stand, 14 Pieces Blades, 2 Pieces Chuck Sleeves for Cutting Carving Soft Thin Styrofoam Foam Making Stencils www.amazon.com/dp/B08XLRYGX5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_X5XXK7GG4D8V94S04S7C

[@zynthesis]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY Pain in the butt or worth using it? I got a dremel with a cutting attachment i was thinking of using.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

@@zynthesis The hot knife is super easy to use and it’s very precise. I attempted using the Dremel and I didn’t like it because of the mess it was making

[@zynthesis]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY Thank you very much for replying. Gonna take your advice and get me a hot knife.

[@sheaedgar7943]

This video is awesome!!! What do you make your webs with?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you! It’s called beef netting from Trenton mills

[@taniasalinas9581]

Anything else that can be used instead of the Dremel tool?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Yes but it’ll just be less precise and not as detailed. You can use an X-acto knife

[@gunnarbiker]

I dig it!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanks!

[@bethschuler463]

Love the sign but I have a question about your pumpkins, how do you light all of em up. I made 46 spray foam pumpkins last year and I used the tea light candles (battery powered) and I hated turning them on and off. Just wondering if you had a better idea. Awesome yard btw!!! Josh

[@storytime_with_auntiek]

Yes!!! I have the same question

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Trust me you’ll want to hear this tip. The trick is to use outdoor LED, flickering flame effect, remote controlled battery operated candles - now that’s a mouthful. I only have to turn on my candles once and the internal timers on the remote control will insure that the candles turn on every single day at the same time that I turned it on the first day. I have my candles set to be on for six hours so every night at 7 PM they’ll turn on and stay on for six hours. Here’s the candles I used: Enido Flameless Candles Led Candles Battery Operated Candles Exquisite Pack of 12 (D2.2'' x H4''5''6'') Waterproof Outdoor Indoor Candles with 10-Key Remotes and Cycling 24 Hours Timer (Plastic) www.amazon.com/dp/B07PFHMMC7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_K7C867GVH8D9FS6QWC4F?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[@munkustrap2]

It seems like it would be simpler to do the wire brush wood texture before cutting out the lettering. Is there a reason I'm not understanding to not do it that way? Btw...I just discovered your channel today & I'm binging on everything. Love that it's not just Halloween decor that you build. I watch quite a few of these type of chanels & you sir deserve a MUCH larger following.
