In this video I’m going to use foam, a garden urn and a plastic crow decoy to make a Halloween monument prop. It's a great way to add some variety to your cemetery display by having more than just tombstones. They come in all shapes and sizes and a Halloween monument can be a great way to add some height and variety to your display.
Special thanks to Drylok/UGL for sending us product and to David Andora for his faux bronze crow statue project on Instructables that this video is based on. See more here: www.instructab...

This Monument turned out great.A very spooky feel.

@VanOaksProps 3 года назад

Thanks, Wayne!

@Gothichallowtrees 3 года назад

Pink foam is hard to find.And when you do find it.You can't buy just one or two sheets. I had our Home Depot look it up. and they said they could get a large quantity of it at once. And it was almost $900. I don't know why our Home Depot and Lowe's cannot just get individual sheets. If I lived down the hill. I could definitely find it and buy as many as I want. But it is not worth the drive or the gas. We do have white foam so you can buy individually up here in the high desert. So I have to stick with that and make the best of it.

@VanOaksProps 3 года назад

It's hard to find here in Los Angeles too. You used to be able to walk into Home Depot and buy a sheet for $35, then it was $37, then $39 and now they don't sell it anymore. For awhile I was able to get it from a local building supply house, but this year they stopped selling it and I was stuck going to a different place that wanted $130 for a 4x8' sheet. I know I can drive a few hours away to get it, but just haven't made the drive...yet.

@davidandora 3 года назад

@@VanOaksProps whoa! I can't tell you how many things I've made with pink foam, but not recently. I wonder if this is a pandemic related issue. I can't imagine that it's being phased out. Even your prices seem so much higher than I remember not so long ago.

@VanOaksProps 3 года назад

Pink foam has been impossible to find for a few years now in Southern California. I think we just don't have a need for it in the construction business, so it doesn't make sense for Home Depot to stock it., even seasonally.

@lilliank3542 2 года назад

Another thing you can do to age the "stone" is to use a heat gun over it, adding texture, and then take a small knife or even the tip of a paintbrush and make "cracks" in it.

@VanOaksProps 2 года назад

Absolutely. I go into detail on both those processes in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IEAAqlxw0IQ.html

Regarding the endless foam particles, I saw one foam carving tutorial that recommends using an electric leafblower/vacuum combo unit. The vacuum will pick up most of the foam bits and the electric units aren't as noisy as the gas powered ones.

YOU sir, are a master! I learned so much in just one packed video. Question. What can I use to harden and seal pink foamboard props that will be displayed outdoors. My pink foam woodgrain props is pretty good, but what will waterproof and harden without adding a sheen. Everything seems to add a sheen to my wood effect which ruins the dry flat weathered woodgrain. Any ideas?

@VanOaksProps 3 года назад

There's Monster Mud, although the pink foam is plenty rigid in my opinion. As for non-glossy finishes, I always try to get matte acrylic paint because it's weather resistant and won't shine up the prop.
