If I were to make a scarecrow and choose to use a thick branch (e.g. 1.5") for the vertical pole of the cross, any tips on getting scarecrow to stand? I had the idea of inserting the branch into a couple foot section of 2" PVC. Then I would either build a base for the PVC (concrete block or...

When our kids were young, we did a neighborhood Halloween party featuring a haunted hay ride in the woods behind our houses. It was very cool but alot of work with generators, wiring, lights, etc. I plan on restarting the party but will host this one, the hay ride will be next door with a...

I can't seem to figure out how to take apart the main pipe in the Sitting Scarecrow from Spirit Halloween. Is there any way to detach it from the head and hips sections? What about removing the front part of the Jackolantern on the Hay Bale Popper? Seems like they're either stuck there, or I...

So this year I thought of making a mascot if you will, that I can be every year. I want to set up a picture taking area in my front yard with hay bails and decorations. I am in the process of trying to find a Jack o lantern head piece to start off with. I figure I can make a decoration piece...
