PUMPKIN MONSTER TREE TUTORIAL

[@theboogeymanofmokena]

This is the little push I needed to get back in to building sir. PTSD from the military has had me very down lately. Meds and therapy haven’t worked and the VA never helps unfortunately. Thank you for the little bit of inspiration to keep going sir. God bless

[@armeniapagan7243]

Wow! What a fantastic monster. Not only are you a great creator but you're also a children's book author. God has blessed you with many talents! I only wish I were your neighbor to get a thrill each holiday to see your creations displayed. And, thanks for the glimpse into your life with baby, showing us that you are a good Dad. Wishing you many blessings at home as well as success both with your channel and the sale of your books. Take care and see you in your next video.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Wow, thank you! Thank you for the kind words!

Very cool and such a great idea. You are very creative. I bet your house is one of the most popular around the different holidays. Your kids will be lucky to have such a cool dad. Love your videos and you are very good at explaining and walking people through how to do your projects. Not everyone is as handy or crafty. I can appreciate the extra time and step of explaining things that you include in your videos. Thank you so much. Exciting that fall and Halloween are just around the corner. Have you ever thought of doing some cool fall decorations that can last from the start of fall through Thanksgiving. I would love to see what you could come up with. Thanks for your hard work. Happy Fall-Oween. 🧡 🤎 💛🍁 🍂 🎃

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to hear that you enjoy the videos and find them helpful. I really appreciate the support, and I’m always excited to share ideas that can make the holidays more fun and festive. I’ve definitely been thinking about creating some fall decorations that can carry through to Thanksgiving-it’s such a great way to keep the seasonal spirit alive. I’ll see what I can come up with, and hopefully, you’ll find some inspiration in the new projects. Happy Fall-Oween to you too! Thanks again for watching and for your thoughtful message.

[@meloneeleddington7664]

Hi Issac, if you don't mind I have a couple of questions I would like to ask you. I'm so curious as to how or where do you store all of your holiday displays. You do such a great job decorating for all the holidays. I just can't imagine where you could put everything for storage. I was also curious if you are or were in the Military? When I watched this video when you had him put together before you added the foam it made me think of Slender Man. You should make a giant Slender Man that would be super creepy. Love your creativity and your displays for all the holidays are awesome. Keep up the fun and great videos. I enjoy them very much. Happy Falloween 🧡🤎💛🍁🍂🎃

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

@@meloneeleddington7664 Hi there! Thanks so much for the kind words-I'm glad you enjoy the videos! As for storing the holiday displays, it's definitely a challenge, but I’ve got a pretty good system with some storage units and a dedicated space at home. It takes some organization, but it’s all worth it for the final result. I built two large sheds, I have a tall deck that provides storage space underneath it (20ft x 10ft), a walk-in crawlspace, and an offsite large unit And yes, I was in the military as a Military Police officer. It was a unique experience, and I’m grateful for everything I learned during that time and grateful to have served with so many great people. I love the idea of making a giant Slender Man-that would be super creepy and fun to create. I might just have to add that to my list for future projects! Thanks again for your support, it means a lot!

[@jasonkay6919]

Another great video! You showed, but didn't mention, lining the jack-o-lantern with some sort of plastic-- that really helps diffuse the light source, and in my experience helps a small light act bigger. Bubble wrap, plastic shopping bags, or dollar store plastic tablecloths all work great. More dance videos, please! 😜

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Great tip!

[@Wcstin]

you should make a more in-depth setup of your full halloween display this year, it’s always fun to watch the more detailed construction

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

@@Wcstin on my to do list !

[@aaffoster]

So in total it would cost about ~$200 to make this (assuming that you already have the pvc cement, paint, and rebar). The foam is the most expensive part ($6-7 per can) and with 24 cans Great tutorial!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Yes indeed!

[@CrazyCrafter-le9ge]

First great video for a new creature. Second, I would use glue for foam instead of hot glue for the moss. Hot glue can become liquid when placed in a hot exterior environment, and the moss pieces would slide down the body or fall off, especially when placed in direct sun. Depending on where you live, it might not be a problem. I live in Ohio, and we get very hot and humid days. I learned the hard way. If you are using a specific type of hot glue that does not react to the heat and humidity, I would be grateful to know the name. Yes, I do know that you are in NC and get very hot days, but I get more humidity.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

This is a great tip! Thank you

[@trbastin]

How many cans of spray foam do you go through for a project like this?

[@colt20d]

I was going to ask this question.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

In the description, where I list the links, I also mentioned that used 24 cans

Nice.. how much u spend in foam because it's not cheap.

...and I think I recognize you as the guy from the Facebook group on Halloween decor.

@@KeithMarrocco yea it’s probably me lol

[@jsiqueblue4948]

To save on spray foam I use soda liter bottles, I'll have my family save them for me or I use a lot of plastic bags and then I spray with spray foam and it saves me a lot of spray foam and cost

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Love this tip!

[@davidwilson6918]

How many cans of foam was used?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

About 24

[@davidwilson6918]

Ok, thanks

[@estela_sells_wtx]

Can I ask why the top layer has to be that brand? I can't find it and am looking to just make a faux tree for a trunk or Treat setup. There is a gorilla brand foam? Wonder if that would be okay?

[@justinebecker2380]

So, for this project , I would need 24 cans of expanding foam? Oof, not cheap! Couldn't I use foam blocks instead?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

If you foam blocks then yes you can use it
