When you explained about being able to break it down for flat storage… 🤯 Mind blown! You provide solutions to problems we don’t even yet realize we have! You are not just a great maker, you are a great instructor. You include practical tips and considerations. You aren’t just showing us how *you* did the project. You really come from the perspective of teaching how to do it ourselves. 🧙🏻♂️
@@StiltbeastStudios You've inspired me make some of these things I've been viewing on your Channel. Now I just got to stock up on buckets and a heat gun. Lol
My wife and I are both Nightmare Before Christmas fanatics. We are turning our entire yard into Halloween Town. I've been looking a cheap easy way to create a few trees that look exactly like these. You are a savior, my friend. Thank you sharing your enormous talent with those who appreciate it so much. You've earned a sub here. Happy Halloween!!
I have seen several tutorials on making this type of tree prop, and yours is by far the most user friendly and economical method 😄 thank you for once again being amazing at what you do!
Just so you know i am a once a year yard haunter. Working on the more professional side but more a retirement thought. I built 6 haunted trees and was stumped on the arms. This video came up the very night i was thinking how i was gonna do it. I took your idea and ran with it. My trees look AWESOME! Thank you sir. Very soon i will throw some ideas your way that i have been thinking about and i am sure you can show the world an easy economical way to make and or construct with the supply shortage we are experiencing. KEEP MAKING STUFF PLEASE!!
As someone who makes mini haunted trees (1' - 3') using joint compound, cardboard and a glue mixture, this video gave me ideas on how to incorporate using spray foam into my little monsters! Thank you!
Dear Allen even with your neck messed up you still find time to do these kind of videos I hope you get to feeling better and truly truly love your content
@@StiltbeastStudios I was wondering why you had the collar on !! The idea of "going under the knife" scares the s##+ out of me !! You just act like it's another day. I'm so glad that you have recovered and you are back on the projects list. I've had 3 strokes (2021, 2022, 2023) and I'm hoping that I will be able to do some of these projects. I truly LOVE those trees. You take care of yourself and if I can get something done (won't be until 2024) I will send photos to your Gmail. Lots of Love to you !!!!! Dianne Naworensky ✌🏻❤️ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I will be making these next year..the only suggestion I would add is to drill holes in the bottom of the buckets so rain doesn't fill them and make a big mess when you go to move them
Windy -- Long term I've found the best thing is the farm type green, flat stamped fence posts. Just hammer them into the ground to the flat blade in the strongest wind direction, and then put a pool noodle over them that way they're a little safer for you or any kid etc who runs into it. Then just put your stuff over or in front of it, and secure. We get too much 45 mph wind here at the coast for anything else to work long term. This works great even for blow ups by having the foam pool noodle on the posts. Instead of guy wires running everywhere that still don't hold it down, I put a post or two behind it and use amsteel rope from the side ties back to the posts. Paint the foam for the posts a neutral background color and they're not that noticeable, and you can usually have them close enough to the body that they aren't that visible anyway. I have to do all my deer, sleighs, blow ups, and other Christmas decorations this way. Just normal stakes won't cut it here things still blow over when the ground gets wet and softens. Easy to remove too, just push against the flat way back and forth a few times. That spreads the ground a little and they'll pull up fairly easily in most cases. Use gloves, the posts have a lot of little ways to grab or cut your hands.
I did this with 8inch form tube. The cheap green can of g.e. Spray foam from walmart and hot glue just yesterday to hide my kids basketball hoop in my front yard. Not as creepy but hides the hoops well. Learned so much from this channel thank you for doing these videos.
I think it looks great! And, for the money, it looks even better! My jaw dropped when I saw that zip tie trick. So thankful for that little tid bit. Hope your neck recovery goes well. Wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery. I now understand where the word "Beast" comes into play from Stiltbeast. Beast mode for sure doing a video with a neck brace on 💪. Fyi, I couldn't help to think that the UV light made you look a little like Sid Haig / Captain Spaulding...lol 😂. As always, Thank you! 🤘 💀
I see you are in a neck brace, I hope there's nothing too serious wrong with your neck and I hope you get better soon, and thank you for making this video while you are in a neck brace
Hands down the best tutorials out there. Showing exactly what needs to be done and not babbling off on a side tangent for 5mins makes your videos sooooo much easier to watch. Not to mention you know your sh*t. Always giving excellent tips and alternatives make your tutorials the best around for the next level makers out there.. keep makin MAKIN STUFF videos !! Thanks
I had already done everything commanded in the “commercial” except patreon which I’ll do shortly lol. These are AMAZING!!! They could be used during Christmas too… they remind me of the trees/doors in NBC
Yeah yeah yeah - TH-cam Wednesday… first I was a bit in worry to see your neck brace. But than you wrote your fine… Love to see you fast process the things, it’s a bit like Benny Hill, and safes time to watch it. And at the end the result is amazing, as always…. Thanx sir, and hope to see you soon, and the other „shop monkeys“ as well. Happy schOCTOBER and GMS.
I knew there was a reason I woke up at 3 am. Hell of a job here sir I'm a tree freak and a huge Halloween fan you just gave me some killer ideas thank you I love watching your videos keep em comin 👊
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for all the great ideas and clear instructions! So far I made your dementors, turned some of them into hooded monks with lanterns, made a graveyard statue .. and now I have to go get new EVA foam for trees :) This is so much fun! 😉 Thanks again! Going to Patreon right now
Those look great! I especially like the idea of putting a fogger inside; it would really add to the creepy factor. Also you have a lovely cat, thank you for including him :-) EDIT: Oh! What a great place to hide a speaker for spooky sound effects!
You are blowing my mind 🤯 with your awesomeness 🤩🤩!! Cosplay peeps need to see your stuff. The materials /mediums that you use keep improving the game . Love it 🤩!
Another fab video. Thanks for a year of laughs and creativity. Above all, a huge thank you for giving me the confidence to make it my own and actually go make stuff instead of just planning stuff 😃
Your videos are so awesome I could get lost binge watching for hours! Your style and methods of teaching us how to make these fantastic projects are great. Currently I am still caught up with my flower garden but I am SO excited to start planning our Halloween display after watching this video. Take care!
Awesome as always, and so many applications with your methods! Thanks too for keeping it accessible financially! Glad you are ok (regarding your neck), I was concerned when I saw the brace peeking out from your beard at first. Happy Halloween season! Get *some* rest (I know, easier said than done).
Howdy from Denison, stumbled upon your site and have been fascinated with your living doing everything haunt related. Your an amazing engaging talented fellow indeed. Bravo. You not only show how to do these neat things but also seeding creativity in others to push past the drab norm.
Glad to to see you up and about, great video. My first thought was how many don't I need, lol. And how can I sneak a few of these in before the wife finds out...lol
You are officially one of my favorites now!! So down to earth and you break things down to where I don't have to be a "master crafter" to make some awesome things! Much appreciated! Ohh and you remind me of my dad and an awesome Halloween Santa combined! Love it! Much love ♥
This is soooo awesome!! I'm definitely going to try to make at least 1 of these this yr. If I can if not for sure next year!! I gotta check out ur check to see what else you do because I love Halloween and Christmas!!!
A true master at work! Thank you for sharing your techniques with us. I have a huge plan for this years halloween and I was stumped as to how to pull it off. You helped me figure it out. The neighborhood kids will love it. Thanks again, your work is brillient!
I just came across your page and I couldn’t be more excited! I am a crafter and Halloween is my thing! 😈 You have amazing DIY’s and looking forward to making alot of them! Sooo excited and sooo happy I came across your page! 🙂
I just discovered you... and man am I impressed. I used to be obessed with creature creating and stuff when I was young. This sparked that joy again I love it!
another great build.... this is my September project! This will help replace my old trees made from the large construction tubes... Keep up the great work.
I sooo love watching you create!!! I am hoping to be able to become a patreon within the next year once I am in full remission!! I started your toy soldier last November, but got too ill to finish in time for my daughter's Christmas yard decor..hoping to feel well enough to get it done this year in time! Can't wait till I'm well enough to attempt more of your ideas!! Thank you for sharing your stunning work!!
FANTASTIC ! Talk about thinking outside of the box ! I just discovered your channel and have subscribed and will be back to view as many of your videos as I can

Very smart. Love the trees . .
Such a good idea!
I have seen several tutorials on making this type of tree prop, and yours is by far the most user friendly and economical method 😄 thank you for once again being amazing at what you do!
thank you, that was my plan, make a simple tree that looks good, was inexpensive, and is easy to make.
Yes. By far the best fake tree tutorial on TH-cam.
Being able to re-position the foam with heat- BRILLIANT!!!!
Please keep up the great work!!!
Happy to know that you're OK and happy haunting
Im getting there, this took me waaay too long lol

very kind, this was pretty low and some was filmed before the surgery, Im about 75% recovered Id say. thank you for thinking of me

you certainly can. or just put a lid on it, depending on if you have lights or a fogger in it.,

Yours turned out great!

That is awesome!
This is the project I'm planning for next year. It's like you're psychic! What kind of lights would you recommend sticking in the bucket?
@@cghancoc I like a flame flicker light, and I like them dark also, they are just spooky!
I WANT A FOREST of these trees along with your Giant pumpkins & dementors... bravo! What a great idea 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎃
Hope you heal well. 💪

So the gorilla glue actually foams up if you paint it on?
Also excellent video as always. Recover quickly from your surgery.
with the water! the water makes it foam. I misted the tree with water then I misted the glue again after I painted it on.
Glad to to see you up and about, great video. My first thought was how many don't I need, lol. And how can I sneak a few of these in before the wife finds out...lol
I love these things!
