DIY Halloween Props - How to make an Easy Halloween Scarecrow

[@susanowen1709]

Wow! Just dragging out the corners of the teeth and eyes made such a huge difference! A little detail like that can go such a long way into elevating a prop from "yeah, it's OK" to "Wow!!"

[@saber_tooth_tiger]

Just an idea: it'd be cool to have a series where you go back on really old props you made and basically give them a makeover, with all the new knowledge you've gained over the years. It would be cool :o

[@WickedMakers]

I love this idea.

[@saber_tooth_tiger]

@@WickedMakers you're welcome! ;3

[@amykelly933]

This is the simplest scarecrow I've ever seen and I absolutely LOVE this. I especially love the pumpkin head.

[@wendypetrovich5675]

LOVE your stuff! One thing I like is how you show things that DIDN'T work, and what to do instead that DID work. Super helpful. :)

[@WickedMakers]

Glad to hear it!! We all make mistakes and it’s part of the process.

[@tron3entertainment]

Oh sure, it's all fun and games now until The Grand Pumpkin comes to life and knocks on your door. _Then_ you'll be sorry. 🎃

[@rickfipps1489]

I think you meant to say that it's the "Great Pumkin". Charlie Brown rules!

[@tron3entertainment]

@@rickfipps1489 - Grand Pumpkin is a Simpsons reference. He takes "Revenge!" on humans for their pumpkin atrocities. The hypocrisy being he is racist against yellow pumpkins. "All pumpkins are racist! At least I admit it."

[@sonicextralifefan91]

Rick Fipps watch this episode every year on Halloween eve

[@Brandywine6969]

I like that effect on the pumpkin. It makes it look like it is made out of wood too.

[@michaelaphillips2031]

I have no idea how I have existed so long without you two in my life. I am beyond thrilled to have found and subscribed to your amazing videos and ideas. My life is now complete. Keep them coming and rock on. 💀 🕷

[@WickedMakers]

Thank you so much!!! 👋😄 That is so awesome to hear.

[@ImANerdyMommy]

Ditto

[@spaztekwarrior]

That looks awesome. Reminds me of the scarecrows from opening scenes of Depp’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow:)

[@WickedMakers]

Thanks! 😃😃😃

[@Augie13]

Am I the only one who was mesmerized by how great their lawn looks?

[@horses2by]

Fantastic idea thank you for sharing

[@WickedMakers]

You’re welcome, thanks. 😄

[@notsocreativekyle]

Just made one! Looks wicked! 🤘💀

[@billthetailor]

Too. Much.Fun. Wish I had you two as neighbors.

[@WickedMakers]

😄😄😄😄 thanks!

[@mikereno4220]

Killer technique on the Jack-O-Lantern!

[@slytheringingerwitch]

That is awesome, not only is it repurposing old things it also looks spooky. Good job!

[@AkanamesMalestrom]

Fun trick: If you use steel wool or a wire brush on the edges of the cheese cloth, it will add a weathering effect.

[@archangelstudios5758]

Yo guys should do a walkthrough of your whole setup! I think we all want to see it come together

[@blindkimberly1360]

Halloween is my very favorite holiday. This is awesome. I can’t wait to find your other stuff!

[@grayeaglej]

This is great! :D Suggestion: cheap solar steak light parts stuck into the hole in the back of the pumpkin to light the head at night, and a solar garden "spotlight" with its lens colored red with sharpie stuck in the ground either in front to illuminate the whole scarecrow or in back to create a silhouette effect except for the lit up face. Happy Halloween :D

[@WickedMakers]

Nice, great idea! Happy Halloween to you too! 💀💀💀

[@elleinchrist]

I love this! I bet it would look cool with some added hay strings on the neck and hand area and make more tattered cheese cloth in black, but overall super simple and awesome

[@WickedMakers]

Yes!!!

[@brentteselle386]

Awesome team work! Congratulations!

[@nevazegrati5543]

Just seen this because i'm watching old ones until your next new video. You 2 do awesome!

[@WickedMakers]

Thanks 🤘🏼😄 New vid Wednesday!

[@nevazegrati5543]

@@WickedMakers YAY! Thanks!

[@63sunshinejudy]

You guys do awesome work love watching you transform and make it cool

[@jeffburnham6611]

Excellent job on the pumpkin! I personally would have gone with even narrower pieces of wood, and painted them a dirty yellow to more closely resemble bones. Stretched over cheesecloth this would help hide the fact that its actually wood. Maybe bot cut the cloth as much as you did, just tears ragged holes in various places. Overall, you guys did an amazing job with the materials you had.

[@zanegreay7157]

this is awesome! you could have also take some sand paper to the pumpkin to get rid of the shininess to it

[@ridiboo7738]

So happy to bump onto your channel! You guys are an amazing talented... And cutest couple! Keep up the good work.!

[@felixmontes5455]

People like you make me love Halloween even more! Keep the good work

[@haywardgarner4850]

I had that very pumpkin, and tried your idea. It really took it to a new level. Thanks!

[@fantasticbitoldchannel3186]

That looks good for an animatronic

[@jerryross2504]

Cool scarecrow

[@kathyjaneburke2798]

This maybe one of your oldest projects, but I really like it.

[@robersonclan4879]

Very nice. Have some extra old pallet boards (they were free) in my garage which might be turned into one of these.

[@msDarkStarValentine]

Omg I love your shirt!!! I would totally buy one.

[@rylantaylor750]

This was so cool, I even recreated it

[@carolalsentzer8357]

I like this simple but scary Scarecrow! Great Job!

[@horses2by]

Awesome scarecrow, thanks for sharing

[@karenritter2574]

Awesome job

[@shannond7437]

I love the hand ideas! Much better than my just branches on my giant pvc and burlap scarecrow! 👍

[@mesummika569]

Can you imagine the eyes lighting up and it turns as you step in the yard hehehe.

[@yeoshow1984]

I have this exact jack-o-lantern from a Wal-Mart. Guess I know what I'm doing next! Thanks you guys rock.

[@WickedMakers]

Awesome!!!!

[@truckshackley373]

Black and brown shoe polish watered down works great for weathering props.

[@omilkhouseo]

[@markisidk6752]

I have to make this for my harvest theme for Halloween this is awesome great job!

[@lakesideparkplace]

awww was hoping to see it all lit up.

[@wolfishxwillow]

Ooo, the whole thing looks great! And the pumpkin part looks like something I might actually be able to accomplish myself. Hopefully I get a chance to try it out :D

[@lachauntiswashington231]

this is cool. we have plastic pumpkins and tons of wood. I can't use tools but this would be fun for my mom and me.

[@ImANerdyMommy]

Halloween is my favorite time of year. Thanks so much for everything. You guys rock. Now to binge all your videos!

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!! He's rising out of the pumpkin patch!! ( *faints* ) *THUD!!*

Making this TODAY but with a skull from Michael's, cheese cloth from the $1 tree & scrap wood. Thanks for the great video!!

[@WickedMakers]

Nice!!

[@platinumdragon7]

very easy looking and inexpensive to make. I like it a lot. Great video

[@WickedMakers]

Thanks! 👊🏼😄

[@WillaL26]

OMG me and my mom have been watching your videos and they are amazing! We cannot wait to try some of them out this halloween!

[@smokemist1]

You can also try a wash for the jacko: Water mixed with brown black paint.. Dip in paper towel & wipe over surface...

[@WickedMakers]

We actually tried that and it didn't stick at all to the plastic, just pooled up and didn't work. Probably used the wrong paint though, but yes good idea!

[@costumesforalloccasions]

Jamie is so beautiful!

[@mikec2810]

Awesome! Lovin the halloween series! Keep em comin!

[@WickedMakers]

Thanks Mike! 🤘🏼🎃

[@wl665]

Awesome def wanna try this

[@WickedMakers]

Do it!!!

[@BlackJackRadar]

The simplest yet impressive static creation. Oh I wonder what happens if y'all can light the pumpkin up?

[@mirandarevels2762]

I love you guys videos I've watched this one a few time and the portal one. The only thing I would do different is put a red light or some color light in the head and maybe the body. Ya'll are awesome keep up the good work I get excited when ya'll put out a new video.

[@WickedMakers]

Thank you!! That’s a great idea. 🤘🏼😄

[@tecuatlcruzluisdaniel670]

IS AMAZING..WOW

[@WickedMakers]

😄😄😄

[@rakk8594]

Classic

[@SingleAngel101]

You can also do a funny cute scarecrow like the ones at Disney World

[@niznomores7961]

Soapbox- I love your workshop. Should do a video on how you insulated the garage door and placement of the portable AC to cool it. I wanted to splice the ac exhaust with the dryer exhaust using some kind of a spliter baffle, but my water heater is in the way. Off soapbox- acrylic paint made that pumpkin 1000% better.

[@christoveli0322]

Nice look

[@Erik-pr2rf]

A grim reaper with flickering eyes with a chain n ball belt would look wicked especially if you paint just the front of head with Glow in the dark spray paint

[@dorian.grey.c]

Wow, creepy cool. 👍👻🎃

[@krose6451]

This inspired 4 different ideas for my to do craft list. I could live a hundred years and still not be able to finish it. Time, energy, and money just arent in great enough supply.

[@ScrappingDiva]

I kind of want to put those battery operated candles in the pumpkin.

[@Sammy-mp9xn]

This is Awesome! My literal nightmares are alive!! 😂🎃😂🎃

[@WickedWeatherMan]

Oooooo I saw an Avery Brewery Sticker. I miss that brewery.

[@jclawson7855]

Your videos are cool

[@MichaelLawing]

Nicely done!

[@WickedMakers]

Thanks Michael! 🤘🏼🎃

[@ninjaweretiger4273]

Gave me an idea but I don’t have old wood. Maybe buy a cheap skeleton, cut the hands off and head off. Replace with the pumpkin head and twigs for hands with the twine wrapped around. Add a light within the skeleton/head as well some old looking fabric onto the body. Still visible with the ribs but slightly covering it up.

[@WickedMakers]

Awesome idea!!! 👊🏼💀

[@loniansley591]

You could always use twigs and branches to create the skeleton... think grey or, if you can find some, old dead birch branches! Even regular branches can be lightened a bit with watered down acrylic paint. It would be a more natural and creepy look, I think. No two alike, for sure! Add bits of moss or vines, and you could have a very unique flair on this version! 🎃🍁🎃

[@ninjaweretiger4273]

I’ll see what I can do. That would work. I tend to do art often in fact this account I’m using is solely for my art. Only true difference is I’m not using pencils for the design.

[@MichelleWatkins2]

Coincidently just tore down a very similar fence. Making this very soon 👌

[@jennglow4647]

Very cool😃

[@wherethetatosat]

Ooooh, this one looks easy enough that I can do it. Might have to do the glowing mason jars too to add to the effect. My parents always complain how few trick or treaters our street gets but that's because it's full of old people and not enough of them put _any_ effort in to decorating. Sorry Mom and Dad, but a lone Jack--o-lantern on the porch won't cut it.

[@diefenbaker7853]

Splitting the wood by " karate chop" would make it look older and more used than smooth cut boards.

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

That looks excellent!, Great video Guys 👍

[@WickedMakers]

Thank you! 👊🏼🎃

[@Oonagh72]

I would use multisurface paint to hold up to the elements, and spray it with matte sealer to give it a more weathered look.

[@jasonwaterhouse50]

Great channel just subbed binge watching now can't wait for Halloween I am making this I love the paint job on the head looks a lot spookier also I just watched the 2 way mirror video and got a big smile on my face when I saw the number of the beast CD cover on the mirror no1 band in the world up the irons love you both great Chemistry thanks

[@WALLE1D1W]

I think I might do this one day (don't have the materials yet), but I think it would be cool if the pumpkin lit up with a red flickering light and that an evil laugh played when motion is detected.

[@BulldogMistress]

so cool

[@kirknra863]

You could also put an LED puck light inside the pumpkin, one that uses a remote.

[@WickedMakers]

Yeah good call! 😄
