I've had a dried chicken foot for ages and finally you gave me an idea what to do with it! Thanks for the videos. I'm in great admiration of you and your methods. Now I'm gonna go make stuff.
5 years later and I have made my own witch cabinet ... inspired by this tutorial. HOLEEEE CRAP my cabinet turned out GREAT! You supplied such great ideas, thank you VERY much.
I never knew Home Depot was such a kick ass store till I started watching your videos........ faux wire fencing....... foam for filling masks............
StiltbeastStudios I started my build its not identical I didn't want to copy it to a T but it's turning out great where should I get the leather stain?
That is so cool how you took a drab boring bathroom cabinet and transformed it right before our eyes into a piece of art that any Haunter would be proud to own. Thanks for for some fantastic ideas!!
Thank you soooo much for posting the " legalese" ... So many do not know the information you shared! I teach, AND it's so great to hear my words echoed..Love your videos and appreciate your talents!
BACON OF PAINT!! that's the best!! My wife has decided she is going to make a witches cave in our garage next year (we do a new theme every year) and this will be perfect for it!! Just in time(as haunters are always looking to next year)! Thanks!
This is one of my favorite projects, you've shown! I've worked with similar projects in a smaller scale, using decoupage. I didn't realize how easy spray adhesive would be. Now I'm so gonna try going bigger! Thanks for sharing!
I have exactly that model that I just pulled out of my bathroom and took to the curb. This popped up in my feed. I had to haul that sucker back into the garage. How serendipitous was that?!
I just love your videos. That cabinet turned out great. As I am building our haunt, I realize how many things I have learned from you. My dog, Rocko, is 13 years old & he gets lonely & barks continuously while I am outside so I turn on your videos on autoplay & that keeps him happy. Plus he is learning so much! Thank you for that too. LOL
Love this idea Allen. This has a lot of uses a mad scientists work table, serial killer shrine, endless possibilites. As always awesome video and thank you for sharing it with us.
I'm always fascinated by projects like this. I was skeptical of how it would look when you just had one side done, by it really came together the more you covered it up. I would never have imaged that would look so good without seeing it for myself.
professorhalloween Glad you like it, I often get comments like "I really thought that was going to suck, but its decent" all the time- I suppose its a compliment lol.
Wife made a bookshelf for the kids' room using pictures cut from an old Richard Scarry book. Her weapon of choice is ModPodge; uses it to glue the pages to the work surface, and another coat over the top to seal it off. She swears by the stuff for her crafting needs. It's also worth mentioning that ModPodge is basically Elmers glue and water (2:1 ratio of each, respectively).
Scott Jenkins Thank you for your comment and support- I appreciate it. The hours you put in are pretty rough sometimes so comments like yours are very appreciated.
Rob OBrien Thank you, it is looked at as a small thing by many who do it but to the artist it can be frustrating. Im happy to help folks stay on the safe path.
People can use these techniques to make some money...Cool items like this at flea markets or sold at horror conventions would be a hit...I took an old broken radio from the 1920's and took out all inside parts and replaced with a mini strobe light...Looks awesome with the light flickering from within...Gave to my sister as a gift, she still uses it:)
Really cool technique. I'm contemplating printing some 11 x 17 pieces and using them to cover a wall or two of my haunt. I think that will give some awesome creep factor!
Another fantastic tutorial Allen! I can see this one in future use. As a side note, one could also place puck style lights under the jars in this kind of cabinet to get a great creepy glow effect.
I am definitely going to try this project. I'm still in school studying Graphic Design so knowing that feature exists on Google Images is going to be super helpful.
its good in theory but not always accurate. i dont think the ouija art you used is legal...the name ouija and the board design is owned by hasbro. did someone just alter the real art to make it different, that still doesnt make it originalor legal so you still need to be careful. for instance, I think Lady Orlando (from Virginia Wolfe's novel Orlando) would make a wonderful costume shop name (since the person lived as both male and female for several centuries, yada yada you get it) but it is still copyrighted in the USA although it fell out of copyright in the uK
I'm so happy I found you a long time ago! You inspire me! I look forward to using your techniques I learned from you!! :) I'll definitely tag you/show you one day!
Insane! I never get tired of watching and learning from your videos. I know it must be difficult to put these out every week, but I really appreciate it! your moving bugs would look good on that bottom shelf too! Where do you get chicken feet for your props?
You are so creative! Just watched a bunch of your videos, you have a pretty awesome job! Wish I could hang out with you for a day and create fun spooky stuff with you! From a new loyal subscriber and fellow youtuber xoxo
This is amazing and fits my house (and this year's theme) perfectly. I don't suppose you can share the images you modified somewhere, as I have no Photoshop skill, as making my own would take longer than the rest of the project :( As always, your work is an inspiration. Each year my house and party gets creepier and creepier, all with your help.
Great project! I was getting worried when I kept checking this morning for your vid and wasn't there yet. Hi, my name is Jim and I'm addicted to YTW....Thanks Allen!
Great project. Think I'd do that to my bathroom cabinets for year around use, heh heh! Had a couple of thoughts. Have you worked with any decoupage medium, like mod podge and how does it compare with the spray adhesive method? Also, painted lacquer! When I was a kid I used to visit my neighbor's workshop, and he had this jig made of a line of nails on wood which had become coated with lacquer from years of painting and dust accumulation. It looked like rotting goop, and I always think of it for creepy workshop settings like this.
Voodoo Ghoul Mod podge will work fine for this, its good stuff but you still need to seal it for moisture protection. The walls at Distortions shop in Greely Co are covered in sprayed latex from all the spraying they have done over time, kinda like the jig you described. Time and layers man.
Allen Howe Yeah YTW is when I get a chance to make things- Normally at work I write up the plans and then other guys get the fun of making stuff. MJ is a trooper here at DH so I thought Id have some fun with him.
i dont think you understand how much this helps me i have to do this on my own because if i asked my dad he wouldnt do it because its witchy t h a n k y o u
love your ideas and have many of my own but I did draw a replica of Disney's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow's sign post there it shows the direction of Sleepy Hollow. I drew it all out myself, will this piss off Disney??
Wow epic Witch cabinet that looks just like an actual one from a witch house good work on it
I've had a dried chicken foot for ages and finally you gave me an idea what to do with it! Thanks for the videos. I'm in great admiration of you and your methods. Now I'm gonna go make stuff.

Thank you for the tutorials
Sweet, go make stuff!

awesome, I hope I get to see it!
I have exactly that model that I just pulled out of my bathroom and took to the curb. This popped up in my feed. I had to haul that sucker back into the garage. How serendipitous was that?!
Just fyi, that's a Walmart cabinet. Not sure how much they are now. I got mine over 10 years ago.
Sweet! Sometimes the prop finds you at just the right time. Glad the video helped!
You're welcome!
I just love your videos. That cabinet turned out great. As I am building our haunt, I realize how many things I have learned from you.

Michael J. Laseter yeah, go make stuff! glad you like the technique please show me what you make.
I'm always fascinated by projects like this. I was skeptical of how it would look when you just had one side done, by it really came together the more you covered it up. I would never have imaged that would look so good without seeing it for myself.
professorhalloween Glad you like it, I often get comments like "I really thought that was going to suck, but its decent" all the time- I suppose its a compliment lol.
my father did halloween special effects for years, he wouldve loved something like this!! what a cool project!!

+L.D. Johnson I love it! modge podge is good stuff!
Hey Allen, just wanted to say I am such a huge fan of your videos and look forward to TH-cam Wednesdays every week!
Scott Jenkins Thank you for your comment and support- I appreciate it. The hours you put in are pretty rough sometimes so comments like yours are very appreciated.
This was an easy awesome project. Can't wait to do something similar. Thanks !
Id love to see what you make!
I think it's awesome you show people how to avoid stealing from other artists! Good show!
Rob OBrien Thank you, it is looked at as a small thing by many who do it but to the artist it can be frustrating. Im happy to help folks stay on the safe path.

stonedcommander absolutely!
Really cool technique. I'm contemplating printing some 11 x 17 pieces and using them to cover a wall or two of my haunt. I think that will give some awesome creep factor!
***** One show I did at SCREAMS in Waxahachie TX I took big pictures of bad teeth and pasted them in a hallway it was pretty disturbing.
Again, you hit it out of the park!
I wish I had 1/2 as much creativity as one of you toenail clippings...
Greg Packard Im not special, its exposure and interpretation- skills you can hone!
love theses videos that show one how to make something different and not expensive.
I just finished a bunch of Apothecary bottles last week and have been working on the display. Great timing. Loved your Google tip.
Lori Green Sweet! send me pics of the result.
Another fantastic tutorial Allen! I can see this one in future use. As a side note, one could also place puck style lights under the jars in this kind of cabinet to get a great creepy glow effect.
Franklin G. Roberts III I had thought about adding LED lights into it, it wont work for the scene it will be in, but I might down the road.
howdy from greenville texas. loved your channel. gosh what fun stuff. thanks for making videos
+crosspecans thank you, I hope you are making cool stuff.
I am definitely going to try this project. I'm still in school studying Graphic Design so knowing that feature exists on Google Images is going to be super helpful.
steampunckairship Yeah I was thrilled when I found the feature also.

Love it !
Very cool to see how such things actually come about and get done. Thanks again man!
Arthur Kidawa Thank you and thanks for commenting. Might be a good technique for your monster table if you ever make a physical version.
This looks amazing! Will you have several pieces in the scene that use this technique or is this meant to stand out?
awokennightmare this will add some pizazz to a hallway.
9:16 Props to prop up props.
Awesome!
Very cool!
Budhag Rizzo thank you, and thank you for commenting!

Andrew Arndts It does speed things up! Im glad it helped you and thanks for commenting.

Chason Harrell I was an actor at 10 years old and loved it- I havent missed a season.
What did you use to make the grates look metallic? Rusty?
