I heard sounds that I assumed were the result of a drill penetrating a thumb nail. I was in the other room when Tim was screwing in the hinge. Below is a photo of what happens IF your screws are too long. REALITY CHECK: Our crafting life isn’t always as perfect or easy as it may seem in our tutorials. Drill pilot holes, then screw the hinges to the ghost. Position the support legs on the back of the ghost. Drill pilot holes first, then screw the hinges to the legs. We are using this ghost outside and although it will not be stored outside, we do not want it warping because moisture reaches the wood. NOTE: We used the Zinser 123 Primer because it covers EVERYTHING and it creates a barrier that weathers well. Obviously, you can use any design you want, just make sure that the supports do not interfere with the holes for the mouth and eyes. We cut out a “U” shape 14″ x 32″, with the “legs” 2 1/2″ wide by 27″, creating a 5″ base. Drill a hole in the eyes and mouth large enough to fit the saber saw blade in the hole, and cut out the eyes and mouth.Ĭut out the support legs. Using a saber saw, cut out the outside of the ghost. Since we are using this for a bean bag toss, enlarge the eyes and mouth to accommodate bean bags.

Breaking up the image into these smaller blocks and then focusing on drawing one block at a time makes it easier to draw the pattern and keep it in proportion… even if you think you can’t draw ? Now you need to freehand copy what appears in each block of your pattern to the corresponding block on the wood. Drawing the lines with pencil will be fine and it will be easier to cover with paint. NOTE: We drew our lines with permanent marker so it would show up in the photos. Make a copy of the pattern and create a 6×6 grid using 1″ blocks.Ĭreate a 6 x 6 grid on your piece of mdf. Each square will be 8″ x 8″.

So, the pumpkin, the witch’s cat, and the candy corn all have uniquely designed handles to go with them. I had all three of these cuties designed, and I decided to spruce up the handles at the last minute.
