Pillers

Lets start with the Pillers . I used sheet of pink foam 1 1/2 in thick. I got from my local Home improvement store . Made the Top 13x13 in. The sides are 4ft x 11in & 4ft x 8in you will need 2 of each per Piller.

When assembling the Pillers . I used Hot Glue . Glue the 8in panel to the inside of the 11in panel as shown below.

(Do Not Glue on the Top untill you are ready to install it on you front lawn)

To make the old world look ont he pillers .

First paint them all flat black let that dry good. then you will water spray bottle and some old sock that what I used .

Paint on the clay colored paint then before in Dries spray with water. Do not coat with

water you just want to get drops on it like it had rained on it. Then blott off the water

play around with I to get the effect that you like.

The Halloween Cemetery Gate's were fun to make .
