Viral DIY Halloween Decor - Is it Really as Easy as they say?

[@crystalcrete2808]

I second the clear plastic bowl from the dollar tree. That's what I did. Turned out great!

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

How did you securely attach plastic 🥣?

[@marybowden1384]

Very good tips

[@marybowden1384]

How did you get it to stay in place

[@lindaprice7327]

Try using the long bamboo skewers from dollar tree.. a bowl instead of a Styrofoam ball. Great ideas on how to keep the costs down!

[@michellerichmond-saravia8735]

I love it and I used an upside down garbage can and a lantern with Xmas lights inside of the pumpkin head that were tangled up LOL and extension cord, and plugged in. Great idea!! I used an old sheet.

[@tinat-l2150]

Thanks for the tip on the white tablecloths. I'm heading to Dollarama today. However, instead of foam balls, just use a soccer or basketball, or even a plastic bowl.

Sticker price on EVERYTHING is ridiculous 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ This turned out INCREDIBLY 👍🏼🌹thanks for sharing 🙏 the shadowing makes him look like his wearing a hat 👍🏼👍🏼

[@mabelregimal5407]

Funny when I saw the price of the foam ball, I immediately thought nope, use paper mache. Glad I waited to comment, lol.

[@doyle5883]

I have been down the styrofoam ball shopping before! Insane your video is great! Terrible how other videos don’t mention the cost!

[@7peacefrog]

So cute! And yours is a much better deal for something that you only use 1 time of the year for maybe a month Thanks for sharing yours

[@TheOldCountryPorch]

Thanks so much! 😊

I used tomato cages and made witches with bags. Then the following year I made a fire 🔥 pit. It turned out amazing! The fire pit looked realistic.

[@doyle5883]

Wish comments could add photos:) sounds cute

[@marybowden1384]

Do you have a pic or video?

[@colemyst]

I'm wondering if a clear plastic bowl would work for the top? If you can find one on the cheap. The brim might have to be played with - melted or cut off depending of the bowl.

[@Renvega77]

You should have used a pumpkin candy basket for the head. Cheap and you don't need to do much

[@marybowden1384]

What about putting the tomato cage upside right and fitting a clear plastic bowl in the top circle???

[@debbiecooper1677]

I never thought of the paper maca for the head. thats one reason I hadnt made one . I am not spending that much on the form ball.

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

Does it rain or will it rain on it? It will deteriorate in one season and if you get something sturdy you could Reuse ♻️ ghost 👻 it will in my city, it’s raining, morning dew and windy autumn 🍂

[@phoenixxstar3825]

I bought the two foam balls on Amazon , sweater pumpkins at Dollar tree , felt dollar tree, tons of tomato cages at Lowe's. And I also bought those big dome cloches at dollar tree to make the head a bit bigger I'm keeping them in my house so i bought Sherpa fleece blankets for both of them too.

[@TheOldCountryPorch]

That is awesome!

[@jaec6462]

Thank you!!Looks great!!

[@makeeverythingsparkle1611]

I went to Walmart and they had so many tomato cages. I bought mine one for 1.50. They had green ones for $2.50 I also bought fabric from the fabric section that was $2.17 a yard. I used my 40% coupon from joanns and got a foam ball.

[@fragrancefreesoapery5685]

next time try using a white nylon sieve with the handle cut off, or stiffen a round of mosquito net or cheesecloth with a sugar or glue solution (if you have ants) and set it over a beach ball to get a see through head :)

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

I say pay up and get the styrofoam and it will last for many years, I’d store it and use it over and over. Also there is ghost 👻 BUCKETS 🪣 like the candy JackOLantern 🎃 I used for my witch 🧙🏽‍♀️

[@michelledeboer8834]

I'm making this but I'm using a dollar tree foam skull already picked it up.

[@pinkie342]

It looks like it has a cute hair cut though. 🙂

[@chiklitz]

A clear plastic bowl from dollar tree would fix your problem

[@mabelregimal5407]

If you had an old glass or clear plastic bowl, you could eliminate that shadow on the head completely.

[@TheOldCountryPorch]

A clear bowl is defiantly the way to go if you can find one without too much of a flat bottom! That's what I'll look for if I ever make these again!

[@doyle5883]

Has anyone attempted beach ball or using balloon with the balloon stake adapter?

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

👻 The moral of the story I’d pay up for the styrofoam ball ⚽️ and save time and it will last for years and years.

[@mariaalexander427]

Hope you used battery operated lights to prevent the plastic table cloths from melting or catching fire.

[@TheOldCountryPorch]

I ended up using LED lights that don't get hot just to be safe! I linked them in the description🙂

[@mariaalexander427]

@@TheOldCountryPorch Great, thanks!😊

[@xoxo8354]

Hi how much did u spend for the diy project?

[@TheOldCountryPorch]

I don't remember the exact amount but it was under $10

[@pinkbutterfly6878]

Id use the white lights not yellow.
