Halloween Project - Crypt
Step 1: I used 2" x 2"
lumber to build the frame. I also attached "L" shape brackets to help
hold the wood together in case of strong wind. (see photo on left)
Step 2: I then attached a trash bag
to the roof to make sure the crypt would not leak. (see photo on right)
Step 3: Then I used zip ties to
attached the Styrofoam walls. The inside of the crypt was painted dark brown
(thought it was black when I purchased the paint).
Step 4: Filled in all of the holes, created by the zip ties,
and cracks with window putty.
Step 5: I used a wood carving tool and a ruler to carved all of the blocks into the foam.
Step 6: Paint the crypt.
