We have been using the paper tape method for a long time, and small pieces taped together and rubbed with black and brown shoe polish (yes, we even made our own shoe polish lol) looks like faux leather. I love the use of it for "sticks" in this video. I'm going to throw both techniques together snd and go for a shaggy elm effect. Thank you for this tutorial! YOU are awesome! Keep em' coming.

I've made a bunch of jackolantern heads from old empty balloon helium tanks using a plasma cutter and welder. I've used old red led car third brake lamps hooked up to 12v power source. They turn out great. As usual great tutorial. Keep up the great work. Planning to make some of these like you show.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Very cool! My uncle used to make them from metal 55 gallon drums that way!

[@charlesscottbuchanan4188]

Love your ideas. Foam Frankenstein is next here

[@JodouTR]

Recently made a hooded deer skull effigy 'scarecrow' out of a steel garden stake, black twine, local fallen branches, deer skull, and creepy cloth. Went for a triangle design to form the body and draped him in creepy cloth. Then, rather than any paint to detail I used some spray adhesive to create some saliva pustules and spider-webbing. Easily my favorite decoration this year and we're just getting started with creating!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

that sounds awesome!

[@MikeLLane]

I'm in tears! Your Gomer Pyle impression at the 6:12 mark- "Go put some tape on it"- made me spit coffee, lmao. Awesome video as always, but that little nugget was comedic gold.

Love it. I just started making a scarecrow today. I'm using tree branches & a craft store pumpkin I had from last year.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

That is awesome! sounds great!

[@natsway]

I'm currently working on one but couldn't use the setup you did for the head. It wouldn't sit the way I wanted so I'm going hot glue a swivel speaker holder on the pumpkin bottom and to the top of the tee. That should do the trick. So far, very happy. Thanks for the great videos. I'm chronically ill and haven't decorated in years. You inspired me to try, thanks ❤

So last year I wanted to frame in a vampire wall mounted head (think bronze bust) that i 3D printed. I wanted to frame it in with organic lookong creepy sticks. Rather than spend hours looking for perfect sticks in the woods, i did something similar to what youve done. I built a framework out of ceiling hanger wire, covered it all with tinfoil. Then covered the foil with masking tape. If i was to do my project over again, i would have used black painters tape. I used beige and painted it black. I found myself repainting and touching it up constantly since the look i was going for was all black sticks. Great job as always and thanks for sharing!

[@hughmungus8320]

I love how you get the same if not better effect as everyone else but in half the time and effort it’s genius. I was also wondering how you like to do cheap tombstones, specifically without using a rotary tool or laser cutter or anything like that. Most KZbin tutorials I see include a laser or a rotary tool.

[@HelloFall]

I’ve been inspired by your channel for over a year now. I’m making my very first loctite spray foam pumpkin tomorrow; inspired by your recent video. I’ve been making Halloween DIY’s since August; to get things ready for Halloween (My favorite holiday). Ever since I found your channel, I promised myself I would make a few homemade Halloween decorations each year (before the season starts) to prepare for October. I bought 5 of those pumpkin buckets at Walmart, I’m paper papier-mâché-ing one at the moment, and the other will have cement poured into it. I’ve seen some videos where people fill them with quick set cement, push a cling wrapped solar powered torch light inside, then remove the light before the cement fully sets. You end up with a pretty cool cement pumpkin torch light holder, perfect for outdoor use. Pumpkin buckets are pretty inexpensive, can you show us more ways to use/flip them into something super cool? Thanks your keeping me entertained with all your wonderful Halloween videos! Hugs!! -Mia Z. ( Southern California) 🎃🖤🧡💀🦇

[@StiltbeastStudios]

I can do more with Pumpkin buckets for sure! so glad you like the channel, happy Halloween!

[@bowmama8]

I'm new to your channel & love it. I used to do Taxidermy (many 🌚 ago) and used the spray foam to create habitat bases...lots of fun. Where is your haunted house located?

[@meaganralston2733]

Allen…you guys were just here in Iowa. We would have given you all the free corn stalks you could ever want. Lol not sure the crew would have enjoyed the ride back very much.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

I actually thought of this video while I was there- its a $15 scarecrow that many could be made easily and maybe line a dark walk way with them? the solar lights means they would even turn themselves on and off.

Where did you get the corn stalk?😊 Love your channel

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Im in Texas, so I had to buy mine at a grocery store that sold it.

[@Raynestorm1968]

LOL. Love it! Your just like me! I love Halloween too! I wish it was more than just one day a year. I also don't do "happy" Halloween! It has to be scary! The scarier the better! Thanks for sharing another great tutorial! I have never had a criticism about any of your tutorials until now, but I think this scarecrow needed a bigger head to look proportionate. I have also been loving your foam mask tutorials. I just need to get all the materials (hair, paints, etc to make one now) BTW, I know what you mean about some countries not being able to get certain materials. Another channel I watch, the guy makes almost everything out of foam blocks. I have looked high and low, talked to all the big box stores, I dunno if we have different environmental restrictions here, but those foam blocks are not available anywhere in Canada.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

if you want to alter the proportions, just use less of the cornstalks!
