Having getting sick of my bags of parcel packaging falling everywhere as soon as I open the garage door I decided today was the day! I wanted something that would fit in the corner near entrance to front door so decided on a tree. I didn't want one with a face just one that looked bare after it's leaves had fallen off. I made this using inner tube from a roll of carpet, wrapped in those packaging airbags to make a thicker trunk. I added a cardboard top for the branch shapes then covered the whole thing in the brown packaging. With it having a crinkle texture I thought it was ideal for bark. Not happy at stopping there:rolleyes:...I then added a gravestone of Lord Winston's pet cat 'Major' and using an old toy cat, I added a balloon light to illuminate the eyes. I had an old dummy security camera than spins so fixed the cat to that, and when you go past the cat moves from side to side ( I am going to give him another coat of white paint, just so he stands out more) Add a pumpkin, a spooky doll and fence and we are done:) I have taken the video in the light so you can see it better, but once I get some spotlights etc on it should look ok in the dark. As usual, any suggestions for improvement, greatly appreciated.....now the question is...where on earth I am going to put it until Halloween.......?:confused:
