DIY ENTRY #7 2 x 4 Wood Scrap Spookies!

How cute are these little monsters! They were sent over by Whitney over at Diary of a Preppy Mom. My favorite part about this one is that she used scraps around the house. A project that you don't buy anything for is my kind of project!

   The country pumpkin!

   
   

   

   The Muslin Mummy.

   
   

   

   Freaky Frankenstein!

   
   

   How cute spooky are these???

   I only used things I had on hand - scrap wood, paint, scrap fabric, felt, bolts!

   I love quick, free & cute projects like this!!

   
   

   Want to make your own??

   
   

   What you need:

   Scrap Wood

   Muslin, Green Fabric, Felt

   Orange Paint

   Long green ribbon *for stem*

   Bolts (or similar) for Frankenstein's neck

   Mod Podge and Hot Glue.

   
   

   Gather your scraps together!

   My longest one is about 2 feet. The pumpkin measures about 8", the Mummy 12" and frankenstein 14".

   
   

   

   
   

   I didn't have long scraps - so I glued together squares ...

   upright for Frankenstein & stacked for the Pumpkin.

   
   

   

   
   

   3. Rip strips of Fabric (about 1" wide) for the Muslin. Mine were anywhere from 8"-20".

   
   

   

   
   

   3. Wrap the Muslin around and tie in the back.

   
   

   

   
   

   4. Keep tying the muslin strips.

   
   

   

   
   

   5. Print out eyes (or use googley eyes)

   
   

   

   
   

   Until he looks like this! :)

   
   

   

   
   

   For Frankenstein mod podge any Green Fabric -

   mine was leftover Duck Cloth.

   (or you could paint it green).

   
   

   

   
   

   For the face I just cut out black felt pieces.

   The nose is a tissue paper covered old drawer knob and the bolts on the side of his neck were random ones I found in the house! All adhered with hot glue!

   
   

   

   
   

   The pumpkin used 4 scrap squares turned on their side.

   
   

   

   
   

   Now paint them orange!

   I used Anita's Pumpkin Orange. :)

   
   

   

   
   

   Tie a big green ribbon around it!

   
   

   

   
   

   I dont' have pictures of this part - but paint your long board black.

   Then I used some Halloween scrapbook paper - and mod podged it to the front!

   Used wood glue to attach the spooky friends and that's it!

   You're done!!!

   
   

   

   
   

   I'd say the whole thing took less than 30 minutes!! :)

   Just use whatever you have around your house!!
