Despite not knowing for sure whether or not we will have a haunt this year, I have fun building props and over the weekend I got the chance to build a few all by myself. They aren't anything overly spectacular, but it was fun to make them just the same.
The one that is actually completed is the pait of wall sconces I made out of pallet wood. I got the instructions at www.legendofthewood.com/wallsconce. Instead of 1X3's I used a pallet plank. I also opted for a gothic arch at the top of each one and a little fancier cutouts at the bottom:
I also began work on a cardboard axe that is nearly complete, a Cellar Dweller prop made from pallet wood, and a prop I like to call "Gore-may Dinner" which I will be postinc pics and a how-to for in a few days when it is all done.
