Finally got started on the first prop of the year. Going to be a tree absorbing a few people (hopefully).
Started with a 6' garden stake. Wrapped with pool noodles and and hot glued some cheap skulls in place with moths in mid scream. The mache is done using cheap paper towels and the drop of glue with water spray method mentioned in another thread (will go look and give credit to the appropriate person).
