So I saw this on Pinterest a while back and fell in love with. Searched high and low for it and couldn't find anything either. Since I'd already made myself a haunted tree last year I figured I could pull this off! I made two of them, and they are fantastic and oh so easy to make! I cut an 8" concrete pillar form in half, cut out eyes and a mouth added a clear plastic bowl I got from dollar tree..it was a perfect fit! then used great stuff foam to create the bark look. Once it was all dry and cured I spray painted the whole thing black then used acrylic paint to paint him over the black, leaving some black exposed for depth. Then using a lighter acrylic color I dry brushed him to give even more dimension. I also sprayed him black inside so when I put my lights in the color of the concrete form isn't visible! Whole thing took me two days to make.. mostly because of drying times!
