HOW-TO: 8FT GRAVEYARD SKELETON MONUMENT TUTORIAL

[@jamesfountain6183]

My wife & I just watched video. Awesome job qs usual.She looked at me & said "NO! You already have enough projects from Issac & your workshop/storage building will only be so big". I'll figure something out. That will go great in the graveyard.

[@PANCHOVILLAMATO]

Seems like our wives all belong to the same witches club of haters... In the end..... I always get my way .... I don't negotiate or bicker, I just dicker...

[@jaylovealways8616]

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Haha one can never have too many Halloween projects! Tell her it will be awesome and that I insist! Do it James, you won’t regret it!

I’ve never seen someone make such perfect tutorials, I didn’t think it was possible until I stumbled upon your channel. Sir, you are the Master.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind comments. I love what I do

[@olsipire]

I can’t choose which one I love more cause every project gets better and better!!!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you for always supporting me

[@donavanagrella2606]

You definitely out did yourself on this one! It looks amazing. What are great piece to place in the front yard.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

This was definitely an unexpected hit for me. I had no idea how it would turn out and was worried that I would not be able to create something amazing but I was so happy with how it turned out

[@wrlamb2010]

This is super cool! You make it look easy, but I'm sure it takes a mixture of talent, knowledge, and experience -- all of which you have in spades. Can't wait to check out your other tutorials!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you! Truth be told I wing all my projects! It takes me hours to figure out how best to do a project but then I only film when I’ve figured it out. So trust me, anyone can do it plus I’m here to help 🫡

Issac you truly are creative and talented.. your wife must love having the best decorated yard for the holid ays. I started making my own giant spooky pumpkin and headstone last week and convinced the hubby to work with me on them. And of course using your pumpkin 🎃 tutorial and all your tips & tricks. Thank you for all you do 💜💜😊😊😊

[@cheeseburgerbae5272]

I’m obsessed. You need your own tv show, I want to watch it ASAP!!

[@CindyOrangeNeely]

Just found you and OH MY GOSH this is the absolute best Halloween prop I have ever seen in my life!!!!! Don't think I'm crazy, but this speaks to me! I have documented cemeteries for YEARS and this genuinely looks like it could be sitting in an old abandoned cemetery. I LOVE IT!! You are AMAZING! Now, I've got to make one of these!

[@kermitken1]

Wow!!!!!!!! This is an amazing project!!!! It looks like an actual statue

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you! Means a lot!

[@munkustrap2]

This is one of the best Halloween decorations, if not the best, I've seen on any of the channels I subscribe to. The way everything is described on how to create it makes even the novice capable of doing it. Great job!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

My mission is to create complex projects and make them into easy video tutorials. Thank you so much for being a new subscriber and for the kind comments! And yes, anyone can make these things! I self taught myself how to build only three years ago and if I can do it, anyone else can 🎉

[@Indiana_James]

Super cool. Easy to follow. Very thoroughly put together. 💯 this is awesome, thank you! 💪🏻

[@Raynestorm1968]

OMG! Love this! I have got to make this one! This is just stunning. Thank you so much for this tutorial. So effective but so easy too. Just perfect for the DIY person. Thanks for sharing your awesome creativity!

[@SimplyVatHome]

Absolutely love your tutorials and have seen them all. 😀 Superfan here. I can follow the skeleton build easily but I'm having trouble with the box 🙄 Hopefully I can be as successful as you. AWESOME JOB😁

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for continuing to support my channel. The hardest part for me was the actual draping of the sheets over the skeleton. It can get quite heavy so be prepared to deal with that. Monster mod weighs things down so get ready.

[@MakeupMobster]

You know what would make this even more awesome? Put like some type of lit up crystal ball or lantern in his hand!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I completely agree with you, I actually even bought two different giant crystals but they looked a little bit off when I put it on there. I couldn’t figure out an effective way to put it on there and make it look good and I was running out of time so I didn’t even attempt to try to figure it out, but I do feel it would’ve been really nice to have figured out a way to make it look good

[@MakeupMobster]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY well even without it. I think this is one of your best projects to date! You’re right though, I don’t know how you can add it in now after the fact. Now my other question is, where do you store all of these things? That is my problem now. I would love to make more stuff like this but I am already running low on storage.

[@msspringchicken]

Oh my goodness, this is awesome !!! You are extremely talented !!! This is one of the best props I've ever seen !!! I want to do this someday !!! Storage is the only major issue I have !!! Keep the spectacular tutorials coming dude !!!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much Lisa. This was definitely an unexpected hit that I created. I was actually worried that it was going to turn out bad because I had never attempted to make something like this before. I’m so happy I trusted my vision and it came out amazing

[@Dig3vAn_s]

Great job but two questions...1) There was no link to a monster mud tutorial so could you post one? 2) How did you attach the skeleton to the base so that it could withstand wind? Thanks!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I see you have a good eye haha The monster mud tutorial will be posted this week, I just needed to post this one first to stay on schedule. If you message me on Facebook (Isaac Alexander DIY) I can send you a quick video of how I attached the base

[@MrJasonacord]

How is the overall weather proofing? Does it hold up?

[@cesalio45g]

I am a new subscriber and this statue is super cool, I love the details and the weathered look. ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥 For you next tutorial may I recommend that your next creation can be disassembled easy for storage. These creations are awesome, but it would be really cool if we can take them apart and store them for next halloween. Example: The stone base can be a storage unit for the skeleton and the skeleton can be disassembled into 2 pieces. Just a thought. Again, thank you for all the videos, keep them coming.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Glad to have you as a new subscriber, hopefully you like the projects I made. Now to your question about assembly and disassembly. I do agree that some of my projects are very big, and not everyone can store something so big. I am limited in what I can do with certain projects. Using this skeleton monument as an example - this piece disassembles into two separate pieces; the statue and the base. The statue itself is about 5ft tall and a slim profile. The base is actually the bulky one requiring more space to store it but the statue itself is only 5 feet tall, slim and easy to store. So are you suggesting that I make the prop with the ability to disassemble the actual statue in half? Because unfortunately, with monster mud, there is no way to break up a piece because everything solidifies once it dries and it would not be practical for me to create a statue where it could be taken apart. I can understand how other projects that I’ve done need to have the ability to be broken down, such as my 16 foot wide spider and 8 foot big foot, but when it comes to monster mud, we are very limited. Hope that helps explain
