pretty kool!
I don't remember even seeing these yard stakes though... will have to watch for them this year.

Great job on these!

I'm in the dallas ft worth area, which 99cent store did you find these at?

 

[LAKE OF THE DEAD]

offmymeds , they sold them during Halloween , i never could find life size skeleton hands anywhere to finish my skeletons , so I was so happy when they had them, ,hopefully they will be back this year .


I think they look better with the new hands , i will post pictures when their finished

Very cool Lake of the Dead!

 

[CreepyCreations]

Nice! Very simple, which I'm a BIG fan of. I'll have to look for those.

They do look better with those hands and adding the pvc really helps. I really like how much taller the blucky is, and how you can bend his arms. Well done.

I love this idea. I will definitely be trying this if I get to my coffin project. I want to add sekelton hands to look like they are holding the lid and this is just the ticket!

Thanks for posting it!
