Hi everyone
Had a busy weekend trying to get ahead with a few more props! As part of the our Carnival theme we are having a Haunted House/Ghost Train so having had a pile of different shaped boxes hanging a round a while (toothpaste boxes, toilet roll tubes etc), and Hubby threatening to put them in recycling
a purchase of some plastic fencing from the pound store, and an old clock from a jumble sale for 50p....I decided to make a haunted grandfather clock. To keep the 'how to' as short as possible I basically laid out all the different shaped boxes until I was happy with them, cut up the plastic fencing up to use for the finial parts and and the twirly shapes to decorate and the two skulls were off an old plastic Halloween chain that had broken. I hung the clock on a small hook so I could take it off for the batteries. There is about four layers of paint on it in different shades of brown with a gold tint and I am going to add some cobwebs on the night. Only thing I am not to keen on is the red pointer for the seconds but can't really change that as can't get the back off the clock! Still only a minor detail and not too bad for a spend of £1.50
As usual any comments for improvement greatly appreciated
