LoL - Thank you! This is an awesome solution to vine making! Thank you for taking the time to make this video! On a side note: If you can think of some awesome projects for the remaining 2000 feet of backer rod I have - that would be awesome! ROTFLMAO 🤪
I started to make these seconds after seeing your video. Many here in California no idea big oaks, hanging vines or Spanish moss. Our wedding sites and reception areas, even our little hidden photo spots craved vines. I added spool wire in my thinner vines an thicker within foil. We have left every vine up. That's 2,000 + feet. We love them so much we're adding more to our Louisiana Vampire Hall. I just wanted to let know they have weathered beautifully. And some now have trailing of real ivy on them.
I like the foil center. I did a huge vine for an exaggerated creepy pumpkin stem using just brown craft paper and glue/water mix. I did have to use a couple pins and a small piece of wire in the end to hold the shape I wanted it to twist in but it worked out well. The foil core would have really made it much more bendable and held shape easier. I’m definitely using this method for additional vines. Great stuff as always!
@@StiltbeastStudios yes I did... I was amazed at the painting combined with the actual vines really gave it that filled in look. Also I liked the way you made the columns pop. I hope to see the set when it is complete and lit! Oh, maybe I should post this comment on that video... anyway... it's all good stuff! Thanks for posting these videos
I really appreciate you showing how you do this. My wife and I did your skeleton corpsing with the plastic drop cloth and heat gun and painted them Bombay mahogany wood stain. Turned out great, I show everyone your video who asks how we made them. Currently making another skeleton, but taking it a step further and doing your corpsing 2 video with the clear silicone, expanding foam and I am putting in acrylic eyes that can be backlit with led lights. Only partially done, but have gotten a bunch of compliments. Awesome work, Thanks 🙂
@@StiltbeastStudios Definitely! She is the Halloween fanatic that got me into it. She corpsed a full size horse skeleton the way that you corspe your skeletons.
Kinda feel like a paint tray would be good for that instead of reaching in a bucket you can pour the solution in the tray and have a dipping station that doesnt have high sides you have to deal with.
New to the channel and I love watching you create! I keep telling my husband to watch -- I know he will enjoy watching you work too. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Saw these at dark hour! I had to touch one because they looked amazing! Had a nice rubberized/ latex feel to them. So happy to see this video! Will be trying some myself in the near future
Thanks for re-uploading this video. I appreciate it. I’ll have need of many vines in my new yard haunt this year. Good method for making a volume of vines in expensively. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for taking time to show us such unique unbelievable ideas that you can make for a number of projects.. Don't stop showing us that you can make so many things to go on everything. Love you and all your videos and hope that you make so many more beautiful projects GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY .LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOUR WORK.
Great vid allen..just a suggestion..if doing alot of these..set up an 8ft section of gutter on your worktable with endcaps siliconed on previously..put your vine mix in there and it makes wetting a larger portion of the vines at once in the length of the gutter..and ring out and tighten as the other person keeps tension and pulls the vine out..makes the job go so much quicker!
Is there a way to help weatherproof them a bit? I need to make a faux vine canopy thing that will be outdoors... would need to last 4-8 weeks. THANK YOU for showing the actual supplies in the store and putting extra work into tutorials so they are easy to follow :)
these are weatherproof- the skin being elastomeric roof coating they are fine outside. you could replace the paper towel roll with fabric if you want to go the extra mile
Great idea using foil and the roof coating... Our Haunt group (CalHaunts) made a bunch of vines for a display at Midsummer Scream a few years ago. We developed a technique using a piece of jute twine as the core and using plastic drop cloth and using the heat gun to shrink it (like your corpsing technique) then dipping it through exterior latex paint and dry brushing additional colors. The twine allowed us to tie the vines in place
I'm thinking perhaps a shallow rectangular container for the paint latex mix might be easier to use than a deep bucket. A cat litter tray or similar. Also, I've just discovered your channel and have binged about 10 hours worth in 24 hours. There are so many good ideas both from the perspective of 'I didn't know you could do that with that product' to 'that's a better way of doing it.' Sadly, here in Australia, Halloween is not really a thing.....sadly.....very, very sadly. OH SO SADLY! Some of your techniques I can adapt to puppet making though... something you inspired me to pick up again after about a decade of not doing it. Your glass eyes video was very interesting. The poop-a-scooper bear puppet idea is fantastic. Thank you for reminding me that building things is fun.
Hey, there I just wanted to say you are awesome the things you do create are amazing! I do have a suggestion instead of dipping your hands into that bucket using a paint tray it would be lowered to the working surface and could bend it on the big side so you could pull your material through it easy but it is just a suggestion you are the guru of this stuff!!!!
It was so cool to go through Dark Hour on the Texas Haunters Convention haunt tour, and see all this stuff you made. Every other scene had something you showed us how to make on TH-cam! Thanks Allen!
Thanks Allen! What a clever idea. That's why I love your channel. I know its paper towel, but with all the latex and latex glue, do you think it will hold up with a little rain? (not a full monsoon) maybe add some clear coat for outdoors?
You inspire me, my creativity is thru the roof, because of some of your projects. In the wolf spider video. What material was the hair on body. Haven't ran across that material before. Can you please send me a link
Hey there! It is just yarn! www.ebay.com/itm/285200352837?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1FBNiTIDASJ-opgUwWgB1jg20&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-213727-13078-0&mkcid=2&itemid=285200352837&targetid=4581046489808871&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=418640322&mkgroupid=1239149842233245&rlsatarget=pla-4581046489808871&abcId=9300602&merchantid=51291&msclkid=9223a142adb81c6c1b6ec57475477b5f
Those are amazing looking vines. You come up with these awesome ideas, how do you figure out the supplies necessary to then make whatever? Simple genius
@@StiltbeastStudios We can watch as long a video as you are willing to make....or could be in parts..... You Sir are a great teacher presenter by showing and doing. My wife found you on her own after I had been watching you for about a year. We both watch now....Thanks for what you do.
Hi Allen, Trying to think of a way to start out with a thicker base that would work its way thinner. could you used something like a pool noodle and then combine the foil technique as you get thinner?
Would be cool if you showed the finale product in a Halloween display to show off it's true awesomeness. Love 💞 your videos! I'm so glad I subscribed. We have a lot in common, with you having more "know how". Thanks for all of your inspiration!
@@StiltbeastStudios Sorry about the clarification. I was asking about a DIY tutorial. I didn't know you actually sell.. My apologies. But just to inquire. How much would those go for like the ones you did in the video? And what is the turn around for you to make them?
I had to re upload the video for some reason. sorry for any issues
Either way this is a very useful video! Thank you so much for all that you teach us!

I frigging love your ideas, and they are easy for the average person to do without breaking the bank!
Thats the goal! Thanks a ton! Happy Halloween!
These would go great with the foam and bucket trees you just posted. Can't wait to do both next year
its like there is a system....
Fantastic Vines! Look forward to see how they are applied in a haunt scene. Thanks for posting (reposting) this tutorial.
did you see this weeks video?

these are my favorite vines to use, the foil core makes them nice and bendable.

I'm convinced you can turn anything into art! Love this channel.
everything is art! it just needs encouragement!

that would work, this way was pretty fast though and I was able to just lid the bucket.
Is there a way to help weatherproof them a bit? I need to make a faux vine canopy thing that will be outdoors... would need to last 4-8 weeks. THANK YOU for showing the actual supplies in the store and putting extra work into tutorials so they are easy to follow :)

It is fun. To make Halloween a thing it takes a few people doing it- that will inspire others! and I love puppets!

they hold fine- the paint and elatstomeric are meant to be outside
CRAP!! Now I have ta go make stuff!! You’re just DeVine
Ivy what you did there...
Very cool! Easy, inexpensive, and messy! Going to try this!
messy is always a plus!
Suggestion for twine. We use twine from the farm store that is used in hay balers. You get a huge spool of pretty thick jute texture twine.
great tip
That is so great I already have some ideas on what to do with them. Thanks for telling me how to make them
Cool build.
Amazing vines!
Awesome
glad ya like the video!

Dude... Sir Alan... You are the Albus Dumbledore of Halloween on the fly. Love your vids!
ummm....didnt he die?
@@StiltbeastStudios C'mon Alan... not to his fans. He lives forever in a Gandalf the grey kind of way.
Love your work. Stay strong, be well!
I bought a life sized T-Rex head from a buddy. I'm definitely using this technique as part of the diorama. Thanks!
Very cool!
Those are amazing looking vines. You come up with these awesome ideas, how do you figure out the supplies necessary to then make whatever? Simple genius
I did a class one called how to make anything- that might make a good video actually- but it will be long.
@@StiltbeastStudios We can watch as long a video as you are willing to make....or could be in parts..... You Sir are a great teacher presenter by showing and doing. My wife found you on her own after I had been watching you for about a year. We both watch now....Thanks for what you do.
Hi Allen, Trying to think of a way to start out with a thicker base that would work its way thinner. could you used something like a pool noodle and then combine the foil technique as you get thinner?
Do we use the full gallons if we want to make more?
Would be cool if you showed the finale product in a Halloween display to show off it's true awesomeness. Love 💞 your videos!
I'm so glad I subscribed. We have a lot in common, with you having more "know how". Thanks for all of your inspiration!
these were shown in a haunt set video!
th-cam.com/video/86DaV1dwCOM/w-d-xo.html
So Cool! Why black not dark green?
Could I utilize the same method if I intended next year to make a Pumpkin King Scarecrow with the vine arms and skeleton torso?
actually....there will be a video on that soon
@@StiltbeastStudios great look forward to seeing that.
Love the look and texture of these vines. I want to add them to my pumpkin monster. How well would these hold up outdoors?
they hold up pretty well, the elastomeric is made to be out doors and the latex will hold up as well as any latex prop outside.
@@StiltbeastStudios thats good to hear and thanks for the response.
Hi, Do you think if I got the black roof coating, it would skip the paint step? Or is it not the same product? Thanks!
So I made a batch of these and they’ve been stretched across some saw horses for about 12 hours and they still feel not dry. Should they still be wet?
Very cool man...even great idea for beyond horror scenes
thank you- glad this one is visible!
I'm thinking your pour the juice from the bucket into a large cat pan or bus pan. Easier to run the paper through
Awesome!!!! Thanks for the ideas.
You are so welcome!
That's amazing HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS STUFF!!!!!
experimentation and applied knowledge from other stuff. just love making things.
@@StiltbeastStudios Well sir, you are a master of the craft!!! Thanks for all the great knowledgeable videos!!!!
Can you do a giant beanstalk?
yes, when do you need it by? and how giant?
@@StiltbeastStudios Sorry about the clarification. I was asking about a DIY tutorial. I didn't know you actually sell.. My apologies. But just to inquire. How much would those go for like the ones you did in the video? And what is the turn around for you to make them?
These are awesome!
Glad you think so!
what mixture did you dip the paper into to cover your vines?
its right here
th-cam.com/video/okG308KuVek/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant! Could you use just latex ,for jobs on a smaller scale do you think ? 😍😍😍
im sure you could, I tried to do this all hardware store!
I want to know how to make the cool octopus and the other monsters that are behind you in the garage
then keep watching and subscribe lol
Wouldn't a deep well paint tray or other similar container be a bit easier to work with rather than a bucket?
maybe, when Im done I just put a lid on the bucket. So that was easy.
A swinging paper mached Tarzan knifing a rabid ape would be an awesome scene
Heck yeah!
@@StiltbeastStudios 😋👍👍
Great method, Allen!
Glad you think so!
Brilliant as usual!
Im shooting for clever , but I will take brilliant lol.
im learning this will make this soon
Thanks for all your support, Paul
Sweet!
Thanks!
Super cool! Anybody tried this coating on white styrofoam as a substitute for Drylok?
I have not, but drywall joint compound is not the most water resistant
Hey bro I was just thinking you can use pipe cleaners as well
for tiny short vines?
@@StiltbeastStudios Yea
