Halloween Forum member Havok1919 built this Halloween gravestone he calls the Technological Tombstone of Terror. The tombstone itself is constructed from pink insulation foam, adorned with prop bones and pre-cut wood scrollwork. It was then was finished with acrylic paint applied using a paintbrush and an airbrush. For the flaming pentagram, he mounted an old LCD monitor inside the tombstone, which plays a video loop of flames.

Luckily for us, he has documented his build in great detail.

This embroidery floss solar system from Laura at Art for Little Hands is gorgeous, yet shockingly easy to make, and Laura’s idea to hang the planets around a ceiling light sun is a particularly wonderful touch! (I might also add twinkle lights in the background to create stars for when the lights are out.) Even […]
