Halloween DIY Spooky tree:
This has been a huge success at our house this year - we have people ringing our bell asking where they can get it. We got this idea from a youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnckyLpK_A0 From there you can get step by step instructions. The supplies needed are relatively affordable and easy to acquire. 1. 8 foot concrete tube (order online from hardware store) Sharpie Marker Drill & Jigsaw screws 2 1x3 boards gorilla glue & adhesive spray glue gun & glue sticks brown parchment paper plywood 4 - 5inch brackets gray/weather colored paint & brown stain (for added effect) artificial leaves and moss two branches optional: lights Step 1: draw on concrete tubes with sharpie to outline your desired face for tree Step 2: Use drill to cut out starter hole, use jig saw to cut out traced outline Step 3: Using gorilla or wood glue, glue and screw both 1x3 boards to inside of concrete tube for support Step 4: Crumble up and wrinkle parchment paper. Glue to concrete tube using adhesive spray Step 5: Mount concrete tube to circular plywood brace with brackets. Step 6: Paint with gray latex paint and for added effect lightly paint with brown stain on top of gray. Step 7: Mount branches as arms to concrete tubes Step 8: Using glue stick glue down moss and artificial leaves to branch arms Step 9: For added effect install orange string lighting on the inside. Happy Halloween!! Creo Custom Woodwork
