My wife found a funny idea on Pinterest for a Halloween house decoration. The original idea came from the Nifty Thrify and Thriving blog.
I knew the instant I saw the picture that we would be doing this project! We are fortunate to have an ideal design on our front entrance for this idea. The roof line and curved arch worked really well for the base of the face. I loved the idea of a turning our house’s entrance into a funny looking monster.
I made it from Elmer’s tri-fold cardboard project board. It was attached with fishing line and duct tape, which barely worked. I looked at this first attempt as a prototype for the idea. A longer-lasting design would need better materials and a better way to attach it.
Most everyone got a good laugh out of it. I’m not sure if any little kids were scared of it. I think some kids didn’t even notice it, as they were solely focused on their candy acquisition mission.
