Hello! I shopped at the local Dollar Tree to buy the tropical grass skirts, and make myself a Halloween decoration for the fall. The skirts will not be in the store in October, so I grabbed them up now and made him. I did have a leftover St Patrick's Day derby hat and so I painted it black. The glasses from Dollar Tree. Tomato cage I had but you can buy them at Walmarts real cheap right now $2 ea. See my video for all the steps and how to keep the hat on at a tipped angle.

Five grass skirts at DollarTree. Two short and three long packs.

Update-redid in 2019 see video here--> https://youtu.be/dOmv2wh_sKo

I painted my derby hat it was green. I added a spider from last years Dollar Tree Halloween haul. I was going to use a black rose for his hat, but just added a spider for a whimsical look.

Tie them up on the top. Go around twice on your last skirt-

Backside I do not have a photo of this step-but-tie the three prongs together with zipties. Then add cardboard inside the hat, and the top of the cage to bond the hat so it will never fall off in the wind.

Update in 2019---re-did a video and LIVE-see now! Use green floral foam instead of cardboard. I show you how right here icon _....https://youtu.be/dOmv2wh_sKo

Update: It's a Girl!

https://youtu.be/f0PWas4j99Y Want a Halloween bucket? My grand daughter and I made one-check here in this link.

Family Portrait. I am going to make the new Baby It a coffin for her home. I was watching the 1977 series and seen a baby inside a coffin. When I get the coffin finished, I will post. The baby is a wig and pacifier. On a used gallon protein powder jar. Comments welcomed. Halloween is around the corner.

    This is cute and easy. Thanks for sharing. I do believe that I will be copying for my front porch.
