resin

I just ordered the cutest, realistic looking resin fruit bats from CollectionsEtc. They aren't on sale (reg. 14.99) but I was able to use a RetailMeNot coupon for CollectionsEtc to order them at 20% off (on entire order) bringing the price down to 11.99 each. They charged shipping based off of...

It's been a longtime goal of mine to make the singing busts for my Halloween display. I wanted to share how I did it, and make some recommendations for those who are interested in doing the same. First, I started the project with a budget in mind. I wanted to keep it under $500. Second, I...

Hi everybody! A while ago, my wife asked me if I could make a replica of the spellbook from the movie "Hocus Pocus". It shouldn't be just a prop, it also should be an actual sketchbook. I made a video of the entire build process, and managed to edit it into a 20-minute video: I used a kraft...

Bought last year from Sam’s Club and used for one season. Still in excellent shape and lights are fully functional. Stands about 4’ tall, made of a solid resin, and has lights in his eyes as well as on his body. Asking $60. Pick up only in the Charlotte, NC area.

Forgive me if this has been asked before. I'm planning on making an alien from the film "Devil's Gate", The skeleton will be PVC but I need to bulk up some areas with paper mache, or something. This prop needs to be waterproof to stand up to fall weather in MI. Once I get the body the way I...

New thread for the cemetery. One of the pumpkins I bought was split at the seam so we took it back and exchanged it. Apparently Michaels has Halloween stuff out. We scored a couple resin cast tombstones for the cemetery. First 2 pics are the head stones we got today. Last is the cemetery last...

Ok, I know there is a few ways I can make a large cauldron, but just trying to see if anyone knows a good source of one you can buy. Save me some time for all the other projects. Will be looking for 2 (one for a cauldron creeper, and 1 to sit in front of my Sanderson sister manaquins). At...

Here is a Mrs. Bates Resin Display Head I just did for a customer of mine. thanks for looking!

I was on Design Toscano's site today looking at their dragon and gargoyle statutes (on sale and additional discount today too btw) and saw that they had a Care Instruction which I thought might be helpful to share. Pretty much what you'd expect. I've bought a number of these statutes from Design...

Hi all! I'm currently working on a Scream/Casey Becker mannequin. She's the first character in the movie "Scream" who gets hung in a tree. Anyway, I purchased a plastic mannequin from eBay, and I also purchased a cast of Drew Barrymore's face. I'm trying to figure out if anyone has any advice...

I got this resin gargoyle last year from my local Spirit store for a steal ($75 cash) becasue one of the wings was broken off. Any ideas on how to repair it? The wings attach via 2 bolts - you can see the one good wing and the broken one in my attached pics. The gargoyle is in good shape...

Bought 4 resin "Purge" masks off EBAY. I thought clowns would be better - we're planning for my boys/nephew to each wear a hoodie & mask and wander around the yard on Halloween while giving out candy. They are excited:) Which paint job do you like best? Thanks :)

Have a few of the hard resin type tombestones. They range in size from 17in-24in. I am looking to trade or sell them. Asking $10 each but open to offers. THIS IS LOCAL PICK UP ONLY as these have some weight and will cost alot to ship.

I've been using a lot of paper mache this year, but am hopeful I can find something less messy and time consuming (but still cheap enough!). I've seen a few things suggesting fiberglass resin and have a question before I consider trying it. If you put it directly on cardboard, will it become...

I always loved the look of the Evil Queens Poisoned Apple she made for Snow White. So I made my own. This is a solid resin prop . I just finished it tonight. Here it is. I dare you .... Take a bite!!

Thought I'd share a (Critters inspired) crite I'm working on (hope I posted in the right spot). It has 3 rows of individual teeth, stands roughly 20" (Skeletor for size), and is made of screening, paper mache, clay, resin, and covered in latex. I still need to add more hair, and I'm...
