Beware of Werewolf Halloween Display

     Sometimes the scariest things are not what you see, but rather what you don't see.  This Halloween display is disconcerting without any blood or gore.  It's also relatively compact, making it an ideal decoration if you don't have a lot of room to store Halloween props.  I crafted the femur for this display from Model Magic, but you could use plastic skeletal remains as well.

Werewolf Collar

Materials:
*Craft foam
*Empty duct tape roll
*Brown paint
*Paintbrush
*All purpose adhesive
*Scissors
*Aluminum foil
*Iron
*Chain
*Metal links
*Knife

Directions:

*Take a sheet of aluminum foil and crumple it up, then carefully unfold it.

*Place the aluminum foil over the craft foam.

*With the iron on low heat, run the iron over the aluminum foil.  It should melt creases and wrinkles into the craft foam.

*Take the duct tape roll and cut straight across it so that it opens up.

*Cut the foam to fit around the duct tape roll and glue it on.

*Cut holes into the "collar" where you want your chain and metal links to go.  I used a kitchen knife to do this, but there are probably better ways to do this.

*Paint the collar brown and then set aside to dry.

*Once dry, add the metal links and chain to the collar.

"Beware of Werewolf" Sign

Materials:
*Cardstock and printer
*Laminator (optional)
*Long wooden stake
*All purpose adhesive

Directions:

*Print out the sign below on cardstock.

*Laminate the sign (optional, but will make it weatherproof).

*Glue the sign to the wooden stake.
