This year, my biggest project was a scarecrow designed to look like a corpse strung up to a cross, with a burlap sack over its head. It took about 3 months to complete, between work and other projects, but I think it's my best prop to date.

I also made a short video documenting the process of the build.

That's really awesome!!! I've always wanted to do one, but haven't made it to that number on my list yet. I absolutely love the burlap face, and the fabric glue stitching is genius. Plus, your video is really great too. Thanks for doing that so we could see your process. Very nice job. You should be really proud of it. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your awesome ideas.

Great video, thank you for sharing! I love the simple idea to use paint for the stiching. It is also great to see it is a family affair!

    Halloween Props
    I use Sockit Boxes to make connections between extension cords but I wondered how people keep visitors (uninvited ones) from tripping over cords?
