Thread: Shipwreck Cove - 2012 Pirate Theme

Tweet

Just completed my first prop for 2012, a sign to use in the pirate display this year. It is made from a leftover piece of thin wood, a foam skull, and two plastic swords. Just did a wash of black and brown acrylic paint over the wood to age it a little. Attached the skull with hot glue gun (hope it holds), and screwed on the swords. Glued on a little moss from a Christmas plant I received. So excited to get started, and hope to post more projects as they get done.

Great looking sign! Can't wait to see what else you come up with

Great sign!!!

Thanks TT and H71. I am trying for a more scary look this year. Mostly I come up with too cutesy-looking props, which the little kids around here like. We'll see.

That looks great!

Were them swords a good deal? Wher'd you get em matey?

Offmymeds, Thanks!
GraveyardGus, the swords were about $5 each at CVS, so not too expensive. I got them during the last Halloween season with this future project in mind.

Already had the foam skull from Michaels, just sawed off the back part to make it flat.

Sign Number Two: What will the TOTers think when they see this?
