How to Haunt Your House & The Mitchell Family bring you a pirate themed Halloween this year! This Hallows Eve the captain steers us through rough waters by way of the mighty ship’s wheel…. Made of hand carved wooden bones for spokes, each topped with a watchful skull, this relic has been weathered by the sea air, and turns true through the cool October nights.
If you desire a custom-made Pirate Ship’s wheel, then watch this video as we take some wood, Styrofoam, some paint and Monster Mud, and create a real working prop… perfect for photos and video!
