If you make this and live in an area where you see rain or snow, from experience, make sure you seal the foam prior to painting. We made this a few years ago and used a pint of driveway sealant before we painted it. This helped add a stone texture to the foam and made it waterproof. Zero's doghouse has survived 3 years of Ohio weather and is still going strong.

That slicing the thickness in half was pretty slick!

I made a dog house several years ago and my dog out grew it. Going to revamp it by running the boards through the planer and using a router for the scalloped edges. It already has a curved opening. So the rest is pretty simple cookie cutter style cut out of Zero W/bone and placing over plywood. Doing props is a fun little hobby but I’m all over the place… scarecrows, anything Star Wars, superheroes to minions and Harley Davidson skulls. It is rewarding to see other people enjoy it as much as I enjoy doing projects and seeing it completed. Feel like a kid and get giddy when I see things coming together. I think its just a creative burst of energy that is just part of my personality…I love videos with creative people: MP share the measuring steps for those that are interested in learning to do this; I see so many commenters asking for measurements and if you look at Monsters Tutorials responses are only to those that give compliments and then skips those commenters asking questions about measurements and for information on what you left out of the video. It isn’t teaching if you leave the steps out of the video. It’s more about selling/ making money. Realistically if if you didn’t leave the steps out and responded at least in your description box of supplies and measurements. My advice for those that want to learn to make this -cut cardboard to the size you want( look up kids cardboard playhouse patterns) that will be beginner friendly and you’ll have a place to start and use it for a template. Remember this is a seasonal decoration so you’ll have to have room to store it; also that foam board can get dinged up easily. Just a few things to keep in mind. I do woodworking, painting /wall murals and my husband does automotive painting and bodywork. So I am thinking of a way to convert the dog house to a doggie Zero toy chest so it is functional.

I swear 92% of everything going in my yard this year is all thanks to you!

Today's goal is... To binge watch every Monster Tutorial today and then..... Start creating and decorating! ❤️

I made one using 2 Inch thick pink foam...I glued 2x2's on the inside walls so you can screw it together and take it apart for storage..also it's heavier so the wind won't blow it away outside

A suggestion.... make a flying zero mounted on a wire that will “fly” around it.

Can you please give the measurements from the bottom to where the roof starts, thank you for the great tutorials

If you left the door off, this tutorial could be "Indoor dog house for goths with small dogs" 😁

I really should’ve saved money from all my paychecks because I’m decking out this Halloween

Wow, beautiful!! Only Eduardo can wear white jeans while doing a project like this!!!❤❤❤

That texture trick is genius.

I love this project! I want to make my own this year. Also, the Greyhound

You could also glue some plastic 90 degree corner joints where the walls meet for added stability and rigidity.

Incredible. Love that you contribute to time what is a great movie . Your very talented about craft, keep on creating masterpieces.

It turned out absolutely perfect! This is one of my favorite Monster Tutorial props.

Awesome job on this! The house turned out sweet and we like how you took us along with you through all the steps cutting and creating your masterpiece. 👍👍👍

Love the texture trick. One we use in our shop, especially for stone things and to weather proof a bit more. I mix Flex-crete to a slightly watery toothpaste consistency and brush on in layers. About 3 layers doesn’t add much weight and it’s literally covered in stone. Adjusting the amount of water and brush techniques can add or smooth texture. It also seals the foam, then you’re free to use spray paint.

I was "blown away" by your texturing technique. 🤗

Absolutely perfect !

My daughters birthday is Halloween and she absolutely loves it. Omg I wish we could have it 😭

OMG!!! 😍 I’m totally making this! An the toothpick trick is AMAZING!!!

Please make the measurements available for us to use I would love to do this please 😍

WOW That's TALENT

True artist, really looks like Zero’s house. Thanks for showing all the painstaking steps that go into it.

I love this! It goes with the Zero costume I made my dog when my husband and I made an Oogie Boogie costume for him one year.

I come back to his video every halloween even tho I am broke and can’t make any of this stuff

Best prop so far

It look so good! From the pictures it really looks like concrete or stone slabs. Love it! Great Job

A little tip when trying to make foam look like stone or concrete, before assembly, wad up a ball of tin foil the size of your fist and rull it over all the smooth surfaces. It will create tiny indentations that will allow for more natural looking light and dark spaces when you do your dry brushing later.

That's way cool! I might just have to invest in a foam cutter.

I watched this with my 5 year old who loves The nightmare before Christmas. He loved this!! You did awesome!

you are brilliant mr. Monster

FANTASTIC!

Omg i love it and btw good job doing the design behind of zero tombstone i really love it☺☺☺👍👍👍💕💕💕💕💕

I used the same foamboard to make my G1 Transformers Wheeljack costume, but with a hot wire cutters and a box knife. Tons of silicone, toothpicks and cut down kebob skewers later, I had the build. Coated the entire thing in Kilz before painting to keep the spray paints from eating the foamboard.

Not only do I love your attention to detail but I am loving your pink glasses.

FYI, to keep from having to do multiple costs of paint, you can use a spray primer as your first coat. It must be primer though because spray paint will eat the foam.

That came out awesome! Love the highlighting. Really looks like stone.

I would love to see the distorted fire place from beetlejuice. I have had the idea for a while to frame a doorway or to create a fake fireplace in this concept. I would love to see your take on it and give some pointers on how to approach it. Great work, keep it up!!!

This came out so freaking awesome! 🤩 That's one unique prop for sure. Great job! 👍

Awesome looking project! 👊 🎃👊 👌👍💪👍👌👍 You could easily sell those, somewhere between $149 to $199.00 each

Gasp!!!!!! I want to make this so bad. I love that movie so much. My mother was pregnant with me when this was made.

I tried most of them and its amaising do more cause some of tgem you make them that things you find .love this channel

really a wonderful prop

Possibly one of my favorite props from you.

wow! awesome

You captured Tim Burtons style and his essence with such ease. Tim Burton would love this!

Another fantastic tutorial. This is how I make my own gravestones and this year I'm making Wrought iron gate entry way for my graveyard.

Soooooooooooo cuteeeeee

I love this! I am a NBC collector, even named my dog Zero. I would totally buy this, please consider selling them for those of us who are not DIY savvy, please!!!!!

That looks exactly like the crypt in the movie! Your cemetery looks so spooky and cool and that adds a fun touch to it!

It's so nice to watch your videos! So nice to follow, slow and quiet, I like that very much. And your crafts are fabulous! Best wishes from Switzerland. Katrin

I love it! The texture is amazing! It looks so real! It's also really satisfying to watch you cut the foam with those hot knives. Are you going to make the Zero ghost that you showed in the intro? Awesome techniques and construction.

That "Oops" paint has gone a long ways!

I LOVE your Zero tombstone!!! You did an amazing job! ♥♥♥

This looked soooooo awesome! I'm making this. Thanks so much for the step by step Eduardo 👍🏼

I don't know exactly how I found this channel, but when I went to all the videos you've put I nearly went bananas. I was like, "AH! I could do that one! and that one! and holy crap that's awesome!" So SOOOOO glad I found your channel. These are DIY videos that even someone like me (who although rather creative) lacks any engineering and building skills whatsoever. I definitely want to make that skull chain fence thingy. Sure, I'll probably manage to glue the skull to my hand instead of the post but I'll just channel my inner Shakespeare and hope for the best.

Fantastic, Eduardo!! My favorite movie, and you replicated the tombstone perfectly. Love everything about this.

WOW...what a AWESOME JOB!!!!

Omg i would like to make this but it looks sooo time consuming, it’s supper neat 😩 great job....

Dang. That came out so cool

Looks amazing!!!

By chance can you give out the dimensions on this project? I'd love to try it myself, but I don't have a printer to measure out sonething to scale up.

Awesome! Looks great.

Super freaking cool!

Omg this is amazing I love it so much

So awesome

Awesome!!!!! This is by far my FAVORITE movie and you did an amazing job recreating zero’s home. 👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome!!! Would love to go trick or treating at your place on 🎃 night! Can't wait to see you bring out your 🐴 's this year, but can only view your tutorials since I'm in Wichita KS! So thank u for all u do n share!!!!

Also, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!

Freaking awesome 👏 I just love your videos! I wish I was half as creative as you

That is great.

This is my absolute favorite tutorial!!!!

This is absolutely beautiful! I think it would be cool to add glow in the dark paint to the to the white highlight paint. Just a hint of spooky glow! I wonder what would happen if you sand the bubbles texture your created (spay water and not wipe it off) . Would it leave holes behind, to give it that old decaying stone look? Also, in future cover up your license plate.

Watching your videos are one of the things I look forward to the most during this time of the year. Awesome upload!

You make all this look so easy, but it looks like it took so much time... Love your videos

Oh i definitly gonna try to recreate this for halloween this year ^^

Very very cool.

This guys is out here spray painting black paint while wearing white pants... honestly amazing! I could never haha

You are amazing! And so are those tools... Thank you for sharing your talent with us

You are so awesome! This turned out great. Thank you. I want to do this now.

I need to start saving up from Decorations for halloween

Love it Ed! How is the year round graveyard looking? I would seal Zeros tomb with some urethane so your work holds up.

This is awesome! ! Love the slicing adapter, its like cutting butter with that thing!

Awesome Build and it turned out great, thanks for sharing I love That Movie

Amazing job!!!!!

Awesome, thank you!

Great build!

Loved this❣️Such great tools combined with your talents are a great combination. Nicely done and makes a fantastic addition to your graveyard. Thanks for all that you do to keep us creatively inspired.💖

love the house . seen some things that I might do different.like a spot to hide my plugs ins.

Everything you do is amazing, but this one I believe I can actually do solo! Can't wait to give this a try!

Another awesome project!

I'm doing the molding pumpkins from your tutorial on them way back when, I just finished two of them and they look great!

This is very cool 😊 love watching your tutorials 😁
