- In this spooky yet fun tutorial, we’ll show you how to make your very own corpsed fairy shadowbox! Think delicate wings, a little decay, and a dash of “did that thing just move?” Using wire, fabric, and a bit of dark magic (aka hot glue and paint), you'll craft a fairy that’s seen better days. Perfect for Halloween or just scaring your houseguests year-round, this project is creepily charming. Who knew fairies could be so... lifelessly fabulous?
Absolutely beautiful. Nice work dude 👍👍
Right on thank you!
The sticks, lights and moss completes it nicely. It was a little minimalist before, but I imagine some would prefer it that way. That's the best part of making your own decorations. You get the level of extra you want.
Thanks.
Yeah man I absolutely agree. Diy work is the best for that custom look you can't find anywhere else. Thanks for the comment as always brotha!
This is AWESOME! Perfect for Halloween! I would definitely hang this on my wall!
Right on im glad you like it! These are really easy to make too. Thanks for watching!
This was SPOOKTASTIC! ❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥
Thanks so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it!
@@CarvalhoCreations There hasn't been anything I've seen you do, that I didn't love!

I love this. I would definitely love seeing a life size version!!
Right on can do!! Thanks so much for watching!
Wow loved that! You are very talented man! 👏👏👏
Right on thank you! Thanks so much for watching
Thanks for the confidence boost to get started. I made 2 different styles for our sons Halloween themed birthday party. Everybody loved them! You've created another monster because I'll never stop making props now.
My pleasure. These things aren't that difficult. I think for most people it's just not knowing where to start. That's what I do... create monsters hahaha 😆
Bro this is SICK I am gonna try something like this. 😂 it reminds me of the harpies from Jason and the argonauts 😂😂
Pretty cool, right?! Haha thanks man. Yeah, brotha, give it a try super easy to make.
I just imagine having the back as a false/drop wall… people are going to be drawn in by the creature
Right on I like the way you think!! That would be totally badass 😄

Two things to add...
1) be sure you're using 'slip' latex, the sort used for casting masks. The kind of liquid latex sold by costume shops is intended for makeup purposes, and will be too fragile for prop construction. (It's also generally much more expensive.) In a pinch, you can use latex house paint but you'll have to fiddle with the consistency (don't buy gloss either!)
2) tear your tissue paper/paper towels rather than cutting them to avoid unsightly straight lines in your surface textures. Also, if using paper towels, the cheaper the better, and pull the plys apart to avoid it just absorbing your skinning liquid (whether latex or white glue).
Great tips. Thanks for the comments and watching. When I finally get to mask making I'll make sure to refer back to this post. Happy haunting
It turned out really cool! Just a thought.....you could try the plastic wrap + heat gun trick to corpse the skeleton!!
I wouldn't in this case, because the skeleton is much thinner than with a full size one, and you risk deforming it in an unintended fashion, or even just melting it. Also given how small it is, plastic wrap can't give you enough fineness of detail to look realistic. It's really only viable on full sized props.
You're absolutely right my friend. I usually use the plastic wrap for life size pieces but in this case liquid latex would suffice. Thanks so much for watching
