Hey everyone!
As some of you may know, the campground that I go to has a Halloween weekend in August. This just happens to be next saturday (6 days from now!!).
After much thought I finaly decided that this year I wanted to do a theme for the display and as you have probably guessed by now, its going to be Pirates!
I'm going to use this thread to show you some of the things I'm making the display. Also, being the procrastinator that I am, I only started working on my stuff yesterday. Too bad I didn't already have alot of pirate props. Oh well.
So...I plan on making a frame of a ship out of lumber and covered in a tarp painted like wood, with a skeleton pirate at the wheel being turned by a reindeer motor. I also plan on making a mast with a crows nest and pirate in there with a binocular. In addition to the boat there will be the allusion that it is docked at an island where a witch or voodoo woman lives. For that part of the scene I will have my stiring witch prop in a small shack (maybe if I have time) with potions, body parts ect. Arround the shack will be a small cemetery with coffin, tombstones and such. Also making a small gallow with haging skeleton and sign warning pirates.
So far I have a few pics of some of the new stuff. I have so much other Halloween stuff that I'm improvising with some props, like using my Dr. Shivers a Davy Jones.
Heres some pictures of my new sign and Dr. Shivers as Davy Jones!
Any suggestions on others props or things I could use in the display?
Thanks!
