Thread: Quick & Easy Gutter Crows!

Tweet

Gorilla glued crows onto scrap foam. Scrap foam glued onto scrap plywood, for extra weight. Also, cut holes into each end of plywood in case I need to tie it down. Going to make 2-3 sets of these to put into my gutters. It's pretty breezy here today and they stayed in place pretty well.
sidenote- 1 crow fell off before I even climbed onto the ladder because I have no patience and the glue was not dry. LOL
What do y'all think? Trying to make a scary/ spooky atmosphere for my haunted house.

Very cool, but does it interfer with the water flow in the gutters by covering the down spout like that?

They look great!!!

Wow looks great.

I'm sure it will a little. The foam is about half as wide as the inside of the gutter, so there's a little room for water/ debris to manuever around it.
Plus, it's not my area of responsibility to keep the gutters cleaned out. I'll let the hubby worry about that part. LOL

THANK YOU, for the compliments everyone!!!

Glue them to some PVC, that should take care of a water problem

Another great idea, Cathy! Looks awesome.

The best part---no bird poop!!

Where did you get the crows?

Actually, those are last year's crows. They got pretty 'tired' looking, so I re-painted them.

thanx, y'all!

Excellent!

I'm gonna try that with a 2inch PVC pipe instead (for water flow).

Really great way to easily add some detail to your decoration!
