DIY Zero Tombstone - Nightmare Before Christmas 

Visit Hot Wire Foam Factory here: hotwirefoamfactory.com/home.php?bid=4&partner=35976

If you make this and live in an area where you see rain or snow, from experience, make sure you seal the foam prior to painting. We made this a few years ago and used a pint of driveway sealant before we painted it. This helped add a stone texture to the foam and made it waterproof. Zero's doghouse has survived 3 years of Ohio weather and is still going strong.

I swear 92% of everything going in my yard this year is all thanks to you!

If you left the door off, this tutorial could be "Indoor dog house for goths with small dogs" 😁

I made one using 2 Inch thick pink foam...I glued 2x2's on the inside walls so you can screw it together and take it apart for storage..also it's heavier so the wind won't blow it away outside

That slicing the thickness in half was pretty slick!

Can you please give the measurements from the bottom to where the roof starts, thank you for the great tutorials

Today's goal is... To binge watch every Monster Tutorial today and then..... Start creating and decorating! ❤️

I really should’ve saved money from all my paychecks because I’m decking out this Halloween

A suggestion.... make a flying zero mounted on a wire that will “fly” around it.

I made a dog house several years ago and my dog out grew it. Going to revamp it by running the boards through the planer and using a router for the scalloped edges. It already has a curved opening. So the rest is pretty simple cookie cutter style cut out of Zero W/bone and placing over plywood. Doing props is a fun little hobby but I’m all over the place… scarecrows, anything Star Wars, superheroes to minions and Harley Davidson skulls. It is rewarding to see other people enjoy it as much as I enjoy doing projects and seeing it completed. Feel like a kid and get giddy when I see things coming together. I think its just a creative burst of energy that is just part of my personality…I love videos with creative people: MP share the measuring steps for those that are interested in learning to do this; I see so many commenters asking for measurements and if you look at Monsters Tutorials responses are only to those that give compliments and then skips those commenters asking questions about measurements and for information on what you left out of the video. It isn’t teaching if you leave the steps out of the video. It’s more about selling/ making money. Realistically if if you didn’t leave the steps out and responded at least in your description box of supplies and measurements. My advice for those that want to learn to make this -cut cardboard to the size you want( look up kids cardboard playhouse patterns) that will be beginner friendly and you’ll have a place to start and use it for a template. Remember this is a seasonal decoration so you’ll have to have room to store it; also that foam board can get dinged up easily. Just a few things to keep in mind. I do woodworking, painting /wall murals and my husband does automotive painting and bodywork. So I am thinking of a way to convert the dog house to a doggie Zero toy chest so it is functional.

Wow, beautiful!! Only Eduardo can wear white jeans while doing a project like this!!!❤❤❤

I love this project! I want to make my own this year. Also, the Greyhound

That texture trick is genius.

It turned out absolutely perfect! This is one of my favorite Monster Tutorial props.

Awesome job on this! The house turned out sweet and we like how you took us along with you through all the steps cutting and creating your masterpiece. 👍👍👍

Incredible. Love that you contribute to time what is a great movie . Your very talented about craft, keep on creating masterpieces.

You could also glue some plastic 90 degree corner joints where the walls meet for added stability and rigidity.

My daughters birthday is Halloween and she absolutely loves it. Omg I wish we could have it 😭

This guys is out here spray painting black paint while wearing white pants... honestly amazing! I could never haha

FANTASTIC!

Love the texture trick. One we use in our shop, especially for stone things and to weather proof a bit more. I mix Flex-crete to a slightly watery toothpaste consistency and brush on in layers. About 3 layers doesn’t add much weight and it’s literally covered in stone. Adjusting the amount of water and brush techniques can add or smooth texture. It also seals the foam, then you’re free to use spray paint.

Please make the measurements available for us to use I would love to do this please 😍

Looks amazing!!!
