For anyone wanting a bit of "explosive" haunting,this is for you.
A cheap and easy way to simulate dynamite bundles.
Your supplies:
7 Empty paper towel tubes
Newspaper
White Glue
Leftover white paint
Red Spray paint
Red latex paint
Black paint
Hot glue gun
Rope
Black sprinkler tubing
Sharpie pen
Step 1:
Mix a batch of glue and water ,about 2 parts water to 3 parts glue.
Tear your newspaper into strips and begin to cover your tubes,making sure the open end is sealed.
I normally cover it about 4 to 5 strips on the end and only 1 one the tube.
Let dry compleatly.
Step 2:
Paint your tubes with the white paint.It helps seal it and mask any print bleed thru.
Dry.
Paint with your red latex.
Dry.
Over spray lightly with the red spray paint.(I use Design Master Holiday Red)
Dry.
Paint the ends of the tubes black,to simulate the powder inside.
(Ok, in real life you wouldnt see this,but who said this is real life)

Dry ,Dry, Dry
(Here in Nevada it never takes that long when its 100 degrees)
Step 3:
Heat up the hot glue.
Pick a center tube and proceed to glue the rest around it in a circle.
Measure your rope to just fit around your bundle at each end.
Glue it down.
Take your tubing and glue that in one end.(It's what I had laying around,you may find something else)
With your Sharpie,using your best printing,write T N T one one of the tubes.
(In the case your TOT's cant figure out what it is....)
There you have it.
Here is the link, to the photos detailing each step.
For what ever reason,they wont post on this thread.
