I love it! They really do have a life to them. I love the teeth and that little bit of blood hanging from them. Great job!

Me likey! I planned on making a large venus flytrap or something like this for the haunt this year, but with the other projects on my plate it may have to wait until next year.

I have a question. Before breaking or making any cuts into my balloons, I am looking into several ways to attach my stems. I plan on using a wire stiffer than hanger wire to support what I feel may be moderately heavy plant heads. My concern is the structural integrity of the paper mache. I have 5 layers on the balloons now and plan on at least one, maybe two more.
My plan as of now is to form a circle at the end of the wire/stem (of sufficient size to provide for maximum area) and attach it with hot glue to the back of the balloon head. Then, paper mache a star pattern over the wire to hide it and to look like a sepal. Am I over thinking this process or does anyone have any suggestions for attaching my wire/stems? By the way hauntedkimmy, great plant! Thanks |

Sorry I didn't see this until now beatlerat. I cut holes on the underside of mine in an X and pushed through the x with the stick and reinforced then with the hot glue and sepal petals. It seems to work great...I've had my plant out since I posted it and my kids and dogs bump it frequently without issue. I had about 5 coats on mine as well. Hope that helps.
I thought of using a wire too and making it look tendril like at the edge, but it didn't seem to need it.

This is fantastic! This year I'm doing my first yard haunt with the theme of a mutated garden and this project is very inspiring! thanks for sharing it.

This being Haunt Forum, we're allowed to necro threads, right?
 I just wanted to say that the *awesome* job you did with the teeth really makes this prop come alive!
