Thread: Creepy Hanging Vines

Tweet

I've never done a tutorial.........
The rope is from Joann's Fabrics. I think it's used for trim on pillows ect. It is 1 inch in diameter. I fed 16 gauge wire through the rope to make it posable and make it easier to twist and knot the rope together.
I tinted the liquid latex with paint for a base coat and added corn meal for texture.
I coated the rope with a chip brush. 5-6 coats of the latex mixture seems to do the trick.
I added moss to the vines.
Add paint accents. I made these for Mardi Gras and they were displayed in the trees in downtown San Diego.

Feel free to ask any questions. You could also make old creepy tree roots out of the rope More pics :Halloween Forum - bobzilla's Album: Creepy Hanging Vines Mardi Gras pics : Mardi Gras 2010

looks great!

OK, for your first tutorial you've knocked it out of the park! I have been looking for an easy to follow tutorial on making these types of vines. Bookmarked for sure!

They look awesome great work!

Excellent!!

Great job. I have lots of trees in my yard so this will look really cool hanging from the limbs.

Thanks all !

Oh yeah, that plus Spanish moss and the graveyard will have the southern atmosphere that is so perfect.

What is the straw stuff added to the vines...ummm straw?
